Poll question: Well Done? Or Well Said?
My most important issue in selecting a candidate to back is how they will treat the Middle Class. We've suffered terribly, since Reagan, as all sorts of legislation has been enacted to take from the Middle to give to the Rich.

Personally, I find it appalling that we have at least one Democratic presidential contender who is running on a platform of helping the working guy and gal, while that candidate's voting record shows that they voted for Middle-Class-busting bankruptcy bills and 'free' trade bills.

I agree with Ben Franklin that "Well done is better than well said". I think that voters should focus on the actual track records of politicians, rather than what they say they'll do in the future.

What do you think?
