This year`s election is more an issue of ideology than window dressing and vague promises. A party`s ideology is outlined in its platform.

The Republican platform outlines clearly its ideology and stand on the issues. The Democratic platform hides in vague language and trick words.

The dilemma: vote for a platform that is up-front and open, whether you agree with it or not; vote for a platform that hides behind a mask until after the election, then shouts. ”Ready or not, here I come.”

What are we to do? Do we want straightforwardness or are we willing to take our chances on a game of hide-and-seek?
