Today I\u2019m asking those who are voting Republican to announce who they are voting for and provide the positive reasons why they are making their choice. We behaved yesterday admirably, so I\u2019m asking the same today. Democrats need to sit back and listen. Now some points that have to be made:
\nSimply give your reasons for why you are voting for a specific candidate. We\u2019ll call this \u201cJesus Creed\u201d and \u201cconstructive\u201d politics.
\nFirst, of course, you may change your mind and you might even say you\u2019re voting for (or thinking about voting for) more than one person since it is early in the game. (I\u2019m from the Chicagoland region and we \u201cvote early and vote often\u201d according to urban legend.)
\nSecond, no negative or critical remarks about any other candidate. For example, \u201cunlike so and so, I think this\u2026\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m voting for so and so because, unlike so and so, they believe this\u2026\u201d These sort of comments will be edited or deleted. Instead, \u201cI like so and so because of \u2026\u201d.
\nThird, you can weigh in on both Democrats (yesterday) and Republicans (today). Some may be undecided and see the good in various candidates. So you can weigh in both today and tomorrow if you like certain candidates.
\nFourth, please do not correct another comment. So for instance, don\u2019t do this: \u201cComment no. 5 said such and such but such and such is wrong.\u201d
\nFifth, keep your comments short \u2014 try to stay to two paragraphs.
\nSixth, I may have to edit or approve or delete some comments, so if your comment does not appear or if it appeared and then disappeared, I\u2019m working behind the scenes to keep this discussion civil.
\nOkay, let\u2019s see how this conversation goes!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
