Voting is like hiring for business

I see voting for the leaders of our country like hiring employees for a company. If we're trying to build a successful company, we're going to want the best, most talented, most qualified people at their respective positions, to improve the company's chances of improving, prospering, and lasting. This is a major reason why I tend to vote Democrat in elections. While their ideas might not always work, I at least hear ideas from Democratic candidates on how to improve education in this country, the environment, and the economy. They also tend to showcase a desire of granting all citizens an equal opportunity under the law - whether they be male, female, gay, straight, black, white, Christian, or Muslim. I just don't hear these ideas or this level of tolerance from most Republican candidates. What I hear is religious, "moral," and anti-government talk. So, to me, the choices come election day are often times simple. I can either go with a candidate who is bright, talented, has ideas, and at least wants to help move the country forward, or I can go with a person who preaches sermons, is void of ideas, and has no interest in trying to improve citizens' quality of life. When deciding who to vote for on election day, the decision-process typically reminds me of this following scenario:

Setting: Job interview to manage the Chicago Cubs

Question: "Why do you feel you'd be the best choice for this job?"

Al Score: "I've been a Major League coach for three different teams, all of whom weren't very good when I was hired, and were all playoff-bound clubs by the time I left. I've won wherever I've gone, and don't plan on stopping that trend anytime soon. There's only one thing I want to do in Chicago, and that's win a World Series. My resumé would say that I can help lead this team there and if given the chance, I'm certain I will lead the team to a championship! I believe in pitching, defense, aggressive base-running, and manufacturing runs - the key recipe to building a team ready to not only make the playoffs, but win the whole thing!"

Jorge Bush: "I may never have coached baseball before. I didn't even really ever play baseball. Well, I take that back - I played teeball once. I don't know how to recognize talent. I can see that guys are bigger or smaller than one another, I guess, so that has to be good for something, right? Anyway, to answer your question, I have only one word to prove to you I'm the best choice for this job - Jesus. I believe in him, pray to him, and know he will guide this team to victory. We may not practice real hard, be in the best of shape, or have any real strategies, but if we have Jesus on our side, anything is possible."
