If you claim you are a "values voter", does that mean you claim others lack values?

Question

Seems like that is what self appointed spokemen for "vales voters" claim.

Answer 1

No, it means that when you vote, you tend to choose candidates who have positions that reflect the way you view the world. You'll vote for A over B because you feel that A more closely feels like you do.

As for self appointed spokesmen... remember, anyone "self appointed" decided that they know more about the subject than anyone else and gave themselves the job.

Answer 2

Remember hate and intolerance are not values.

Answer 3

No, it means I vote based on my personal values.

Answer 4

No, it's not about others, but about how you decide on which candidates will get your votes.

Answer 5

Are you implying the possibility that a Liberal Democrat has values ? Don;t ever see that happening ! That would be like saying Democrats are capable of telling the truth! The choice is very clear if you care about values Vote republican !

Answer 6

No.  It means you vote based on your personal values when compared to issues.  People don't say the other side lacks values, its that they have values that are different and they don't agree.  

Example- you can be pro-life or pro-choice.  Both are values, but they do not agree with each other.  The two people value a different thing on the same issue.

So its not that people dont have values, its that they dont share the same values.  This "no values" thing is just a propaganda line to anger people.

Answer 7

No it would mean you claim your a value voter. It is an opinion of ones self

Answer 8

No values and ethics are very similar and even Hildebeast Cliton has them. It's just that hers and Karl Marx are the same.

For myself I also have these particular values like I value states rights so I believe that abortion is a state issue not federal.

Same with most issues the power is supposed to reside with THE PEOPLE.

Not the elite or special but all.

I don't need the Freakin Govt wiping my butt from cradle to grave.

I do need the Govt to get the h**l out of my way and I will take care of me.

Answer 9

This is an adversarial question.  Everyone has values, some,  I agree with others I don't, that doesn't make yours any less worthy than mine.  We can agree to disagree.

I think that it might be more useful to ask,"what values are important to you"?  You would be likely to elicit a more positive response.

Nothing is gained by attacking people who believe that they are right.  By asking a question which sets someone up to be defensive you are stifling communication.

Answer 10

If you call yourself a values voter, then yes, I would think that would be implicit.
