Politics should not be discussed in the workplace or, sometimes, at
family gatherings. You may end up with a bloody tongue from biting it so
hard during vocal dissertations about the evils of .... You get the
idea.
If this candidate's attitude could translate into 'ultimatum' <my word>
statements in the workplace like "I want to use Times New Roman, size
36, bold, as the 'Body Text' of our docs and no one can disagree with
me." *THAT* would be troublesome.

Subject: FWD: Employment question
<snip>
The question is, would it be ethical to deny employment to a person
(otherwise eminently qualified) based on his/her political views, though
the real reason is never mentioned? On the other hand, is a new person
(however well qualified) worth the possible disruption (97% possibility)
to the sense of good will in the team?
