That's what I feel like I'm seeing from the candidates before us. I tend to look at not only the issues or an issue but the character that this person presents to us in running their campaign. For example what are they saying about the other guy, are there low blows or personal attacks, is this person trying to scare us into voting for them? Looking at a candidates behavior, to me, speaks volumes about what they really stand for. I think abortion is horrible, but I think lying is horrible too. Unfortunately some people say what ever they need to in order to secure a vote.
