Do you assess a politician on how they make you feel or what they do?

1. Judge by how what they do makes me feel

Silly question, of course...

2. What they do.

I am not very impressionable. I'm not inspired by speeches. Politicians and religious leaders spouting from their pulpits leave me cold and suspicious. It might be the result of experiencing too many hypocritical "sermons" in my younger years, or it might be because I was, from the beginning, raised on critical thinking.

When a politician says the right thing, and then backs it up with action WHEN IT COUNTS, then he or she can earn a positive assessment from me.

Thank you.

3. What they do - or don't do. That's why I despise most of them.

6. What they do because, as the old saying goes,
