Ayn Rand's 5 Surprisingly Simple Rules for Judging Political Candidates: Never be fooled by a politician again!

Ayn Rand on . . .

Ronald Reaganâ€”

â€œThat so-and-so, claiming to be a defender of capitalism and Americanism, has come out against abortion. If he doesnâ€™t respect so fundamental a right, he cannot be a defender of any kind of rights."

Thatâ€™s what Rand said about Ronald Reagan at the Ford Hall Forum in 1976.
Reagan supported the right to abortion when he was governor of Californiaâ€”and later changed his tune.

â€”or Mitt Romney?

But those words apply equally to the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney. As governor of Massachusetts he supported the right to abortionâ€”and later changed his tune!

So we can confidently conclude Rand would have the same â€œThat so-and-soâ€ opinion of Mitt Romney.

Jimmy Carterâ€”

â€œ[A] cheap, small town peanut power luster [whoâ€™s] been on both sides of every key issue.â€

â€”or Barack Obama?

Randâ€™s opinion of Jimmy Carter applies equally to Barack Obama who, as president, broke most every election promise he made in the 2008 campaignâ€”with one main exception.

That was â€œObamacare,â€ which Rand would have skewered with much the same words she used to tear apart George McGovern in 1972.

These are just a few examples of Randâ€™s many statements we can adapt to current issues when the concrete referents are sufficiently similar.

From her political writings we can also derive the â€œ5 Surprisingly Simple Rulesâ€ she applied to judge politicians. When combined with her philosophy of Objectivism, we can have a pretty good idea what sheâ€™d probably say about todayâ€™s political issuesâ€”even though she died in 1982.

In the following pages weâ€™ll apply â€œRandâ€™s Rulesâ€ to the 2012 American Presidential election as a case study.

And, in conclusion, youâ€™ll learn how to apply those very same rules to parties and politicians everywhere.

So whether you agree with Ayn Rand or not, youâ€™ll never be fooled by a politician again.
