Trust only the pol's record

 Before you vote, research and get the facts and the Record. 

Pols will say anything to win and they may, in some few cases, even mean it. But  the question THEN is "Can they do it?" 

In our system a pol has to have the ability to persuade people to support him/her. That is gotten two ways, well more than two,but  only two ways we speak of. He/she can, using personal talks, convince other pols or have his/her voters call or write saying support this or lose my vote.

So you want a pol in office who will agree with most of your views and one who has the ability to put those views forward and ONLY the past record can be depended on.
