[Vision2020] Biased and Accusatory Candidate Survey

[Tom Ivie]

I think that this survey is a good idea and that the questions posed could be helpful to those voters that these issues are important to as they make their decisions on who to vote for.  It would be my suggestion that the survey allow for an essay answer instead of the "yes" "no", etc. That allows for the candidates to justify their answer no matter which side of the issues they happen to fall on.  Then we as voters can make our decisions based on their reasoning, yes, no, or non-answers.

Tom Hansen has exposed me for the biased, Doug-Wilson-affiliated 
voter that I am. It was quick of him (he didn't just look at my last 
name, he clicked on document properties). If we didn't want people to 
know my father was connected to the survey, a Wilson wouldn't have sent 
it out. We would have tricked Tom into doing it for us. Anyhow, I must 
apologize, as I have not yet been able to get the survey to several of 
the candidates. I will continue to try and track down the the remaining, 
unsurveyed hopefuls. As Tom has now helpfully posted it on his site, 
candidates should also feel free to view it there and email me their 
responses to the questions directly. Candidate responses will be made 
public, and Tom can even put them on his site.
On another note, civil discourse seems to have so far degenerated in 
this town that I wondered if some candidates might simply ignore any 
questions originating from the Christ Church community. I have to admit 
to not being hopeful, though the initial responses to the survey may be 
changing that. Cheers.
