INSTEAD
Like many other Americans I watched the vice president debate last
Tuesday night. I have the belief that open, honest debate is necessary for us
voters to make a logical decision. If a person running for office cannot
articulate his belief in his platform he has no business even running in the
first place. I make no bones about my belief in the conservative philosophy; I
was satisfied with the conduct of Governor Pence and his attempt to talk about
the issues facing our nation. Senator Kaine, on the other hand, impressed me as
being a complete jerk; if we were choosing a candidate to be arrogant and
condescending he would win hands down. His main talking points were that Donald
Trump lost a huge sum of money, and insinuated that Trump was cruel to women.
First of all the tax return that was published by a major US newspaper was an
illegally leaked document, the paper that run that document was in violation of
several laws. I just wonder if our justice department will take any action
against the paper for their clear violation of our laws. Even Trump confirms
that all of the supposed name calling over the opposite sex was due to a feud
with Rosie O’Donnell, I am sure that there were some pretty sharp jabs from
dear little Rosie directed at Donald as well.
Instead of dealing with the issues that are crippling our nation
we get a load of this bull manure every time there is a debate. Instead of
talking about the complete failure about Obamacare and the lies that were told
to the American people when it was crammed down our throats, we hear about some
alleged comment from Trump 20 years ago about some beauty queen gaining weight.
Instead of talking about ways to make government more streamlined and
efficient, we hear about an illegally released tax document by a major paper.
Instead of talking about the Clinton pay-to-play scandal while Hillary was the
Secretary of State, we hear about some Tweet that Trump recently sent. Instead
of each candidate acting like a gentleman, senator Kaine acted like a jerk with
his 70 some interruptions when Governor Pence tried to use his time to rebuttal
the other side. Instead of the moderator maintaining control of the debate, she
sat there and allowed Senator Kaine to interrupt and consume time then she
would pressure Governor Pence and tell him that he was out of time and needed
to move on.
The people of this country deserve better debates than what we
have been seeing. They have become some of the most childish and petty examples
that most people grew out of when they became adults. I also blame the
mainstream news media for promoting this kind of nonsense. Face it my fellow
Americans, too many of our people are being manipulated by the liberal media
and the slanted reporting they are doing. This upcoming election is the most
important in my lifetime, it will determine if we remain a constitutional
republic or degrade into a socialistic hellhole that much of the world has to
endure.
Instead of having a dumbed down electorate we can have a system
where important issues are discussed and debated. For those of us who can see
through all of this garbage, we need to speak up and tell our friends and
relatives about the true issues. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, it is our
duty to fight for the principles that our nation was founded upon.
