[rucky]

In making a crucial decision, which type of leader do you value the most? No cop-outs, PICK one.

1. One who can hit his target without shooting a man in the face!

[rucky]

2. and here I am trying to change the subject

It was worth a -er- shot.

3. Remember, the majority opinion

once included slavery, Segregation, interning the Japanese ...

currently includes no gay marriage ...

8. That is what I was going to say.

It is a delicate balance but the minority must be protected always. I can't vote because of that wording.

6. Other

The one who best implements equal justice for all. Has little to do with willingness or lack thereof to set aside ones own principles and interests. Has much to do with practical and measurable accomplishments.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. I don't want any of those choices - I want a leader who will do what's

necessary, even if unpopular, but who is willing to have his/her mind changed when he/she is in error.

I don't want arrogance or wishy-washyness. I want a leader.

13. Sounds like #1 is your choice. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. No, the first option doesn't leave room for a change of mind.

The first option is a guy who does what he wants, regardless of its correctness.

17. dude, it's a poll, not a treatise.

there is a moment where a leader must make a crucial decision. i'm talking about that. something goes to a vote and they have to choose one or the other.

[MercutioATC]

9. It depends on the type of leader...

Senators, I expect to vote their beliefs.

Representatives, I expect to represent the voters' wishes.

[Katherine Brengle]

14. excellent distinction. n/t

[rucky]

10. kick

[Sapphire Blue]

11. One who stands up for social & economic justice.

[Quixote1818]

12. A leader who looks at a number of opinions and facts before making

a decision. The biggest failure of the Bush Administration is this belief that they are superior to everyone else leading to more "group think" than all other administrations put together. A great leader should be humble and someone who searches for truth, not someone who claims to have truth. If the conclusion they come to goes against his/her constituents then so be it if he/she feels strongly about the decision.
