To the Editor,
Americans should approach a political election intellectually and carefully consider and analyze each one as to their experience and capability to handle such a huge job, their honesty and proposals.
There is nothing I see worth voting for in Obama and McCain. They both have flaws. Their only motivation now is to win.
Americans have virtually no control over their government once Election Day is over. All candidates care about is to get your vote. Once elected, they care less about you. Complete power is given to the office holder for their full term. If you give big bucks to their campaign, then you are given recognition and maybe a job.
All the problems candidates are now promising to solve are ones they helped to create.
Who failed to seal our borders? Who voted for this tremendous debt? Who voted for government not negotiating lower prices for Medicare drugs? Authorized a war on false pretense and funding it? Medicare and Social Security on the road to bankruptcy? To give millions of your tax dollars to foreign aid? Voted for NAFTA and CAFTA, World Trade Order and all these other agreements that are ruining our country and America’s manufacturing base and jobs.
No one but Congress.
Politicians took a once great country full of good people and have run it into the ground to a point that it requires a lot of optimism to even see a bleak future.
All incumbents, except Virginia Sen. James Webb and Texas Rep. Ron Paul should be defeated as their terms expire. Too many have been in Congress too long. They all ought to be tarred and feathered for selling this county out from under us.
