Things look better in election year?

Editor,

"I have said for the last two years that things would pick up in 1932. Why? Because it's an election year, and the Republicans always see to it that things look good on election years. They give us three bad years and one good one, but the good one is the voting year." - Will Rogers, 10-20-31.

In this election year things look good because we're told so every day by the so-called liberal media. Are things better for you? Not for me.

"What does Prohibition amount to, if your neighbor's children are not eating?" Will Rogers, 10-20-31.

Now we must ask: What does gay marriage amount to if 46 million Americans don't have health care?

Another Rogerism: "There is not an unemployed man in the country that hasn't contributed to the wealth of every millionaire in America." It's time the million/billionaires in America started pulling their weight. They don't need tax breaks, they need to quit moving to Bermuda to avoid paying any taxes! When you hear "values" spew from Mr. Bush's mouth you need to evaluate which values are valuable to you.

What happened when George W. Bush dumped his Harken stock for $848,560 just before it tanked? Contrary to his claims, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission did not clear him of fraud. The matter was swept aside by SEC Chief Robert Breeden, who was closer to the Bush family than Kenny Boy Lay in the front pew on Sunday morning.

The voters of 1932 ascertained that FDR was the right choice. John Kerry is the right choice now. We need to vote against corporate corruption en masse and make certain our votes count.
