Editor, Times-Union:
We know that the elephant is the symbol of the Republican Party. Maybe the symbol of the Democrat Party should be the wandering Alzheimer’s patient because Joe Biden seemed like one when he was president. Also, Democrats remember what didn't happen and forget the bad that they are responsible for. Also, their vision seems to stop in front of their face.
Yes, prices are too high for a lot of things. But high prices didn't begin with Trump. Biden raised inflation to over 9% and it has taken too long for inflated prices to lower. I know Democrats blame Trump for having us go to war against Iran. But if they didn't brag that they could have nuclear weapons within 10 months, Trump might not have started the war to prevent them from having nuclear weapons. We went to war against Germany to prevent it from having the atomic bomb and the public agreed. But if Iran had developed nuclear weapons, they could have launched missiles toward Europe and killed millions. Maybe a nuclear irradiated Europe is acceptable to war protesters.
Democrats running for office say they want Medicare for all. That would mean Medicare would go bankrupt in a few years and the government would control medicine. It would decide what type of medical treatment people receive which is fascistic. Like Canada, we would have doctors prescribing death for patients they don't want to treat due to expenses. People would be comparing the murder rate with the assisted suicide rate. The government body count would eventually exceed the murder body count.
Many Democrats support socialism. Remember the Soviet Union when grocery store shelves were bare? Democrats think things will be free and the rich will pay the bills. If you believe that, then I bet you believe your medical expenses will fall thanks to Obamacare. I think it's ironic that Obama cared less for Blacks than Trump does. He allowed over a million Blacks to die in Rwanda and never wanted to spare the lives of Blacks in Chicago which Trump wants to do.
