Doesn’t fit the bill anymore

Dear Editor,

Growing up, I remember hearing “Democrats are for the working people and Republicans are for the rich people.” Naturally, my folks were working class, so I always believed I was a Democrat. Problem is now that doesn’t fit the bill anymore. If that were still the case, why are so many “rich and famous” types of people supporting the Democrats?

This is my issue with current day politics, I can watch/read something pro Democrat and everything is so believable, but then I can watch something pro Republican and think the same thing and VICE VERSA. Everyone wants you to believe them and what their party will do for this country.

You know what I want the candidate I choose to do for this country? I want someone who loves and believes in God all mighty; I want honesty; I want integrity; I want someone who is patriotic, and loves their country. I want someone who stands on the beliefs that built this country into what it was when it was grand. I want someone who will take the burden off the working man. I want someone who knows what a hard day’s work feels like. I want someone who knows what it feels like to struggle a little to make ends meet, but most of all, I want someone who actually does what they say they are gonna do. Is that too much to ask?

Allison Smith, Mr. Romney told every soldier, social security receiver, teacher, fireman , policeman and every working American exactly what he thought of them. It does not take a degree to understand what he meant, when he said what he said,if he said it, he stands by it. Can't get plainer than that.President Obama again.

I CAN GUARANTEE MOST OF YOU ARE VOTING FOR ROMNEY BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO VOTE FOR AN AFRICAN AMERICAN. ROMNEY WAS IN THE RACE 4 YEARS AGO AND YOU ALL CHOSE JOHN MCCAIN(lol). NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN,HE IS YOUR GUY. FYI, I AM INDEPENDENT, NO ONE PERSON IS ONE THING. I AM LIBERAL ON SOME ISSUES AND CONSERVATIVE ON OTHERS. I HEAR THE RHETORIC BEING SPEWED FROM THESE FOLKS AND THAT IS A SAD COMMENTARY ON OUR NATION. I WOULD THINK THAT THESE FOLKS ARE A PART OF THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT(LOL). I AM DONE LOWERING MY STANDARDS BY GOING BACK AND FORTH ON THIS ISSUE. OBAMA WILL WIN DECIDEDLY AND YOU FOLKS WILL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. good day

I don't care if they are black, brown, red or purple... just give me someone who is gonna fix our broken country!! Stop using that played out excuse because if Condelezza Rice was running, I would vote for her in a skinny minute... and last I checked she was a black woman! Give me a break dude!!

abp "I am done lowering my standards", are you kidding? What standards...look who you support. Is that the best you have? Why not consider someone who is a success,honest and Loyal to this country. Loyal to this Country is the big one....it's very important and your boy doesn't fit the bill. Bye the way, you never did site just one(1) thing obama has done to help this country while he raises the debt 6 trillion,insults our allies as kisses the middle eastern babies. See, I didn't even use the word rag head so I wouldn't insult your sensitivities

Terrific insight Allison. abp obviously drank the cool aid. I'm old, but I proudly served this country. The person occupying the White House is a disgrace and embarrassment to this country and the legacy it has created. We have fought 2 World Wars to save Europe and this idiot insults them and the 100's of thousands that gave their life for the freedom we now enjoy. I am truly appauled that abp would question your judgement when he supports a Moron that has done Nothing to help our country. I challenge him to site one (1) positive thing obama has done for the USA. He is a self serving Socialist that wants to destroy this country. He has no idea of how to stimulate the economy,he apologises to the rag heads that kill us at every opportunity,he opens our border to murderers and illegals that feed off the tax payers, he lifts any and all requirements for the freeloader deadbeats so they can receive a check (and vote for him) each month without getting off their fat ass, he makes a mockery of the Constitution and Bill Of Rights (egnores them). I ask you abp. are you blinder than Stevie Wonder or just a Dumb Ass?

And, Mitt Romney gives u that? Allison, you are smarter than that.... and you know it

September 13, 2012
abp, you mean smarter than a president of a country who doesn't even know how many states there are in that country? One who called an anti-american his closest friend and adviser, you remember that adviser that said G**d** America? Smarter than that one who went abroad and called America "arrogant" and one who wouldn't wear his flag pin because he didn't want to take sides? Sides for whom? Russia? One who called the patriots of America dumb because they cling to their Bibles? That One that is trying his best to adopt Socialism for this country? And that one who finally admitted that he promotes homosexuality, the only sin that caused God to destroy a nation What a dummie who would speak against somone like that, huh? abp, You really need to go back and study the principles on which this nation was founded. - Far from the priniples of Obama. As far as Mitt Romney is concerned, the other side has searched and searched for something to smear him with and the worst thing they can come up with is from high school where on one occasion he bullied someone - pretty good record wouldn't you say?

Allison, you hit the nail on the head, I think most of us were raised in Democrat home and at the time it was a good thing, not now, the Democrat beliefs are no longer in line with the Old Democrats and we have left the party in droves.

The basic principals of the Republican party are now more in line with what we were raised to believe and when they leave God from their platform and accept all obortions without question and mortgage our nations assets beyond our control we must remove their leaders from office and this is also true of any partys leaders.

In the coming election we must vote Republican if we want to have our nation return to the core values of the founders.

Good points Bonnie but don't waste your time responding to abp because he has a closed mind and does not want to hear factual information.
