Falling for Election Fluff

I read a newspaper ad for a City Council candidate. Doesn’t matter who it is or where they are from. It could be anywhere.

 The ad simply said “Real World Common Sense” .

That’s it. It doesn’t do a thing for me.

I want examples!!! Give me a couple bullet points below that statement proving it. I love common sense. I agree there isn’t enough common sense in government. But, give me an example or two!

I love elections. I love the competition of it. I like to see candidates who stand for something get elected. 

What exactly would you have done different than your opponent in the past … or what exactly is your plans and agenda for the future? I might not agree with you but I would at least know you can think through a problem.

If you don’t have any specific plans or agenda for the future why are you running?  Why should I vote for you?

Real World Common Sense isn’t enough.

Sorry.
