My political philosophies are embodied in a set of Faithlessly Inspired Dogma (FIDO), which I rigorously follow in all political matters in which I choose to participate.
FIDO #:1
I vote against everything and everybody not placed on the ballot as a direct result of actions by faceless dogs.
Reason: All other persons and items are placed on the ballot by and for politicians to be paid for by faceless dogs.
FIDO #2:
I never read, listen to, or let myself be persuaded by in any manner whatsoever, computerized projections or professional polls predicting the outcome of any election results until all voting places for that election are closed.
Reason: Such forecasts are inspired, created, controlled and paid for by politicians to trick faceless dogs into voting for the wants of politicians and to feather political nests and or the nests of political supporters.
FIDO #3:
I never contribute money to a national political party.
Reason: Anything political is always a creation of politicians to be paid for by faceless dogs. I let 'em pay for it themselves.
FIDO #4:
I periodically write to my congressional representatives encouraging them to take full vacations, trips and leaves of absence whenever possible.

Reason: Whatever they do away from their offices will cost me much less than what they do when they're in them.
FIDO #5:
I never vote for anything that specifically authorizes an increase in taxes.
Reason: Whatever the politicians are asking for permission to do, they're going to do anyway whether I agree or not. However, it will cost me at least 1/2 as much if I force them to do it secretly without my overt permission.
FIDO #6:
If I don't like the candidates running for office, I don't vote for them. I vote only for issues on the ballot to cut spending.
Reason: It doesn't matter which politicians get in office because faceless dogs can't control them anyway. The only thing faceless dogs can influence (though only slightly) is the amount of money they have to work with.
FIDO #7:
All politicians are trained liars.
Reason: All issues have at least two sides. Politicians must get votes from both sides to win, therefore they must lie to both sides to get votes from both sides..
I’ve set up my Whatever-Whoever scale to indicate political preferences. It puts all the political “noise” we are exposed to in perspective. I think it illustrates why our system here in the USA has not, so far, collapsed. The faceless dogs, being the vast majority, keep the extremists under control. At least controlled enough for common survival.
