I thought I might take a moment and
give my two cents worth on the current run for president. In a word;
Really? As in this is really the best we can do in this country? 350
million or so people and these are the only ones we can come up with?
Set aside your personal political beliefs for just a moment and
really look at both sides of the aisle and then tell me we can't do
any better.
Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie
Sanders and Ted Cruz seem to be the ones to beat and I am simply not
impressed.
Mr. Trump may be good at business and
he may have more money than God but does that qualify him to be
president?What are his actual plans and strategy? Can he articulate
them with out insulting anyone? More importantly, and this to my
republican friends, do you remember that some years ago he stated
that if he was to seriously run, that he would run as a republican
because he considered them to be stupid? Perhaps he has changed his
mind...
Hillary Clinton has more baggage than
Logan Airport. Since the days of Watergate, where she was fired for
unethical behavior during the investigation, there has been an air of
contempt of the rule of law. White Water, covering for her husband,
Benghazi as well as the current investigation into her email's should
make every democrat out there shutter. She has a real chance of being
arrested for several violations of federal law over classified
material handling ( There is a Marine fighting for his career over
one classified document that he turned in once he realized that he
had it where they have found over 1300 on her servers) though being a
Clinton she will likely get away, but is this really the person you
want running your party or being it's leader?
Ted Cruz, I can't say I know a lot
about him, best I can tell He is fairly squeaky clean, unless you
hate the things that he stands for of course, but I didn't care for
his part in shutting down the government, it affected me personally
because my pay comes from the VA and we were left with enough
uncertainty that I literally went ,with hat in hand ,to my land lord
to find out what I needed to do if I stopped getting paid. There has
to be a better way to do things. Not sure he knows how.
Bernie Sanders; I actually like him,
not because I agree with him on a lot of things but because he
doesn't hide who he is and what he stands for. He doesn't engage in
double talk and political speech he just says what he believes. But
the reality is that our economy simply can not handle a full scale
swing to socialism. Everyone, no matter your income would have to pay
heavy taxes to even begin to fund some of the things he has proposed,
free college, free health care etc. There are no free rides, somebody
has to pay for it and I can promise you it won't be the elites in DC
doing so.
So there you have it. I don't want to
have my only choices being the ones listed. I am neither democrat or
republican, I call myself a conservative libertarian because I
believe in the old concept of I live my life you live yours and as
long as you and I aren't hurting each other let the rest go.
Peace out.
