How to chose between those we have to elect.

It is not enough to just decide by basing ourselves on who we like
best, or who is closest to us.
There must be clear rules on which to base our decision.
The happiness of our family, our loved ones, our community,
our country, and the whole world will depend on how well we judge!

1 - Truth. Do they always speak the truth, no matter what?
2 - Love. Do they have a strong feeling of love, respect,and
affection for every level of their society, and every other society
and country.
3 - Communication. When they have discussions with others do they
listen to the other person's opinion and try to understand it?
4 - Opinions. Do they have pre-conceived opinions about others? Or
do they think about what they could do to help them?
5 - Creativity. Are they open to new ideas, new creations, new
improvements?
6 - Responsibility. Do they fulfil their responsibilities, whatever
the circumstances, and always find solutions to all the problems
they encounter.
7 - Respect. Do they have respect for all of God's creations
8 - Loyalty. Are they loyal to those who trust them?
9 - Passion. Do they undertake their activities, whether creating,
singing or dancing, with passion?
10 - Justice. Truth. Honesty. Are these absolute characteristics of
their personality?
11 - Forgiveness. Finding solutions. Helping others. Are these also
characteristics of their personality, to soften the harshness of the
previous qualities?

12 - Do they support the Constitution of the United States and are
they unwavering proponents of personal liberty, not corporate
welfare. All those other things are great, but until you come up with
metrics
for evaluating them, then it's all just a bunch of horseshit.

If you think any politician meets even ONE of those criteria, I've
got a nice bridge I'll sell you cheap.
