I will try like the dickens not to sound sarcastic in this letter to the editor, however, what is happening on the Democrat side of this presidential election is nothing short of incredulous! Like me, there are many people I run into shaking their heads in disbelief about Dems again out to control our government come January, 2017 on false pretenses.
During the last month’s Democrat National Convention Barack Obama said “by so many measures our country is stronger and more prosperous than it was when we started.” Hillary pretty much said the same thing during the convention. Maybe in one’s dreams!
What planet do these people live on? Preposterous, not prosperous!
During the past eight years we have had the slowest economic recovery since 1949 and that’s when I was still in grade school. Our GDP growth has never been worse in this country’s history; worse than any other president.
We have more people on food stamps than ever before. We have more people living in poverty since Obama became president. We have a staggering number out of the labor force because they can’t find work. Wages are stagnant, middle class incomes down, record low home ownerships, etcetera.
Blaming George W. Bush who left office nearly eight years ago is ludicrous.
A current unemployment rate below 5% is so very unrealistic it is laughable. It’s probably close to 20%. The millions who have left the labor force for lack of jobs aren’t even counted by the corrupt Department of Labor. The unemployment figure is a fabrication.
Not to be sarcastic or condescending, but what in the world are you Democrat voters thinking? It boggles the mind. Another Democrat in the White House would be more of the same, and a good chance worse.
Could somebody (preferably one who lives on planet earth or in the right state of mind) tell me and readers how Hillary is going to make America great again? How will raising taxes, even on the middle class according to Hillary, create jobs? How will a $15 minimum wage keep small businesses in business?
How is giving away free stuff to everybody and their uncle going to pay down our debt?
If nearly 3 out of 4 polled say this country is on the wrong track how in the world are things supposed to get better voting Democrat? That kind of thinking clearly shows Hillary has support from a lot of people who live in a fantasy world. Low information voters, obviously, don’t get it. Single issue voters don’t look at the big picture and the emotional ones still live in the last century when the Dem Party was different.
Hillary’s successor is Secretary of State John Kerry. He says air conditioners and refrigerators are more of a threat to us than ISIS. Climate change (a hoax) is a greater threat than ISIS according to our government.
How can we have national security when the administration and potential next U.S president Hillary won’t even admit ISIS is “radical Islamic terrorism?” Are people out of their minds selecting her as Commander in Chief? She once said we need to empathize with those who want to kill us.
How insane is Obama’s transgender bathroom mandate in our public schools and elsewhere?
The Black Lives Matter movement, embraced by Dems, is proof a whole lot of people live in another world. “Hands up, don’t shoot” is a falsehood. There’s undeniable proof that did not happen to Michael Brown of Ferguson, MO. Thousands and thousands of blacks killing other blacks is far worse than a handful of incidents where there might be law enforcement injustice, but looking at reality is off limits by Dems.
Let’s get real! Come down to earth please! We can’t right the ship living in a “Disney World” of politics where facts don’t matter.
Is it planet earth with Trump on the one hand, and Hillary’s Mars on the other?
