The Nebraska Examiner encourages voters to critically evaluate political promises and statements. Whenever a candidate presents a promise, identifies a crisis, or assigns blame, consider the following five questions:
1. Is the promise realistic? Evaluate whether the promise is achievable given the current political and economic environment.
2. What are the facts behind the crisis? Investigate the underlying details to understand the true extent of the crisis.
3. Who is being blamed? Analyze whether the blame is appropriately placed or a diversion from the real issue.
4. What is the candidate’s past record? Consider the candidate’s history in addressing similar issues.
5. What are the potential consequences? Reflect on the potential impacts of the candidate’s proposed action or inaction.
