happythoughts 0 #1 March 26, 2008 On Ebay, they have a rating system. Based on the experiences of buyers who have bought, or attempted to buy an item, there is a "value" rating of the sellers integrity. In the past, perhaps a seller had a ceramic cat that was advertised as "great condition", but had cracks or chips or it wasn't delivered on time. The integrity of the seller has to be good in all those areas. Buyers expect all aspects of the product and the purchase to be correct, all of the time, not just some of the time. People have actually bought boxes of dog poo from Ebay and have expectations. So, if we insist on an integrity rating for the purveyors of poo, based on past experience, who would you feel most comfortable buying a ceramic cat from? Really...

Amazon 7 #2 March 26, 2008 I would trust Senator McCain more than the others....I feel he is a man of honor... as well as a former officer and indeed a true gentleman. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked a person who was an Olympic coach, "What is the most important factor when you meet athletes?" He said, "Desire. They have to want it almost more than life." I think that McCain desires to be a person of character, more than most of the population. (This must certainly be accepted as a one-dimensional poll.)

peckerhead 0 #4 March 26, 2008 I voted McCain because I thought he was most likely to actually have a ceramic cat. Now if the auction was for a lava lamp I would likely change my vote. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #5 March 27, 2008 I voted McCain for the same reasons Amazon stated. With that said, wouldn't the poll favor the Republican due to the fact a Dem. nominee hasn't been chosen yet? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #6 March 27, 2008 Quote I voted McCain for the same reasons Amazon stated. With that said, wouldn't the poll favor the Republican due to the fact a Dem. nominee hasn't been chosen yet? If people were voting for more than one Dem nominee. In an odd way, that's probably not funny. From one perspective, it is sad that Hillary got only one vote. From another, it is surprising that she got one. People don't trust her, but people vote for her? Confusing. (Granted, the response to this unscientifically balanced poll is too small to be statistically significant.) This poll isn't going to affect the overall vote because voting also reflects the platform of the candidates. McCain and Obama have voter confidence in their honesty, so they can evaluate what is actually being said. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
