Why morality should be seperated from competence

Filed under: Politics

Coincidentally, i was just talking with Phil today why a candidate’s moral values, or moral integrity not be a determinant, but rather competence should be the deciding factor. And then i read this post. An excerpt:

Would you vote for:

  1. A man who cheats on his wife?
  2. A handicap?
  3. A man with health problems which he did not reveal?
  4. A man with little formal education?
  5. A man who has manic depression?
  6. An alcoholic?
  7. An average student?
  8. A divorcee?

If you said no to any one of those questions you would’ve rejected…

  1. Franklin D Roosevelt and John F Kennedy (rumoured)
  2. Franklin D Roosevelt
  3. John F Kennedy
  4. Abraham Lincoln
  5. Abraham Lincoln
  6. Winston Churchill
  7. Ronald Reagan
  8. Ronald Reagan

Almost like serendipity.
