 Elections on Nov 4th

I remember a time (no SO long ago) in which one presidential candidate would win in a landslide decision........not even close. Remember Reagan and Mondale? Mondale won just one State.......his home State of Minnesota.

Well, that is no longer the case. Today we have candidates who run neck-and-neck, with one on them winning by a nose.......or even by U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Why is this? The answer is simple. There is so little difference between the two candidates, and between the two parties, that we are essentially voting for candidates who hold the same views on every issue, making for an election that is based solely on a popularity contest. Policy is no longer an issue in these elections.

It would really help if we had a clear choice to make. Unfortunately, for all of us, we no longer have that option. We have our choice of voting for the Devil, or the Devil's son. Pick your evil.

For this reason, I'll be voting for a third party candidate.

Joel

Cutter,

I forget who said this.........

"A government that robs from Peter to pay Paul, will always have the support of Paul."

How true.

Government's goal, of course, is to create a situation in which Peter is greatly outnumbered. Our government has succeeded in this endeavor.

Crunch,

When Congress is in session, every man's property is at risk.

The best we can hope for is a divided Congress, in which nothing gets done. A "do-nothing" Congress is every man's best hope.
