Do you have a "litmus test" for political candidates?
I don't, and have always prided myself on being able to at least try and look at the overall picture, but I have to admit that my time here is stirring up all my long-suppressed anger against civil asset forfeiture that I feel like I might have one sometime soon. Of course, pretty much every politician on both sides of the aisle are responsible for, and would favor, continued use of the practice as it allows them to continue the illusion of being "tough on crime", so except for Libertarians I'm not sure where I would go. Voting Libertarian would certainly not be the end of the world. I have done it before, and expect to this November in the Presidential election, but I do wish there would an actual realistic alternative.
If you do have a litmus test, please share it and explain your reason(s).
If you do not have a litmus test, please explains your reason(s) for not having one. Not everybody has one overriding issue that drives them, I understand that.
