Do endorsements like the FOP,
BOE or Daily Times sway your vote?

Not really. If anything it makes me less of organizations or businesses that do. Even more so if they're backing someone who I believe to be a scam or of poor character.
ReplyDeleteNO
ReplyDeleteNo.. I could care less what agenda driven lobbyists or media types have to say on political issues.
ReplyDeleteDT's - NO! They are not worth even a reason why from me.
ReplyDeleteNational and state FOP's and other organizations that aren't local, a resounding- NO! Most of the membership is from the Western Shore and I DO NOT need THEM to tell ME who to vote for and I take offense that they would even try, as if we locals aren't capable of making good decisions for ourselves.
Local organizations whose members live and work in OUR communities and their children go to OUR schools and they pay taxes here, etc., YES I do take into consideration their political endorsements but it's not likely they alone would sway me one way or another as other factors are just as important to me.
Not BOE or DT, but I would want to know why FOP endorsed the person.
ReplyDeleteKidding....right?
ReplyDeleteYes. I believe in their opinion.
ReplyDeleteNever I have a mind of my own to make my own decisions
ReplyDeleteNo and I dont think they "tell" you who the vote for. They just put out one sided info.
ReplyDeleteI did hear the F.O.P. met with Mayor Ireton and told him the cops at Salisbury City are sick of him and his liberal b.s. I guess collective bargaining is next for them. Joe what are you hearing on this
I will listen to all available information and opinions but ultimately I make my own decisions.
ReplyDeleteWhen groups endorse a candidate they rarely express the view of the membership, only management.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not. I can think for myself.
ReplyDeleteNo I can think for myself
ReplyDeleteI don't take their opinions, any advertisement or commercial, etc. Only facts and history, if any.
ReplyDeleteNO!
ReplyDelete12:11,You hit that nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly matters to me. When the DT or BOE endorse a candidate I stay clear of them.
ReplyDeleteAgreed . The fop as well. They could end the military surplus cops are receiving for no reason.
DeleteYes, in the opposite direction!
ReplyDeleteNo,what does sway my vote is finding out and verifying politicians like Jim Mathias are liars. Bob Aswell
ReplyDeletenothing sways my vote. i hate them all
ReplyDeleteAlways consider the source. Daily Times and other Liberal groups; NO. Conservative groups; YES...
ReplyDeleteThis is only if I don't know much about the candidate.
the joke is on us two parties one agenda. divide and conquer tit for tat meaningless debate
ReplyDeletenope. been around long enough to know the evil politicians versus the just plain dumb ones.
ReplyDeleteNO, absolutely NO. If anything, they usually make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteno, i don't need someone telling me how to think
ReplyDeleteUh..... NO! Think independently people. Its worth the time to research the issues and make you own decision, based on FACTS (if you can find any FACTS!).
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm so far to the right I'm afraid sometimes.
ReplyDeleteNo,i only let rush limbaugh,fox news,and joe albero tell me who to vote for.
ReplyDeleteYes....to vote against anyone they endorse
ReplyDeleteDuring fundraisers they like to tell people the money donated to FOP goes to LEO's and their families in crisis. This couldn't be further from the truth, only a very small percentage goes to LEO victims and the rest is spent on administrative functions. I'm not saying not to support FOP, however, know that they are top heavy like every Union and most of that cash goes into politics and lobbyists.
ReplyDeleteI have a Delaware state trooper in the family and he's the one who told me to give my donations to camp espa instead of the FOP. The camp is totally funded from donations and has all volunteer staff, nobody living a fat salary out of any of that money
ReplyDeleteNo. Just as endorsements on this site do not sway my vote.
ReplyDeleteDitto 12:48 and 4:07. They definitely influence me ... to vote the opposite.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely NOT!
ReplyDeleteFOP No way!
ReplyDelete4:42 every charitable dollar the F.O.P. takes in goes back out to other charitable organizations. You been drinking chicken house water again I see. Stop speaking through your butt your underwear muffles your nonsense. At least speak in facts. I do not let the F.O.P. influence who I vote for,but at least get the facts straight lol
ReplyDeleteI go in the box and vote republican period.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not the DT! They get worse (farther to the left) all the time.
ReplyDelete
