Hillary can run U.S. better than a man

I am fed up with your opinion page – so much so that I refuse to renew my subscription to the Kokomo Tribune!

It is so obvious (as the nose on my face) how biased you are against Hillary Clinton that I can’t even stand reading your paper any more.

You, along with all the other media, only want to nitpick at every little thing she says, yet never seem to have anything but good to say about Saint Obama! Why not have a whole page on him telling about all the lies he has told, and how he has been a member of a church for over 20 years that hates America?

I am amazed that anyone in this country seems to believe that this is the Democrat that should run for president. A man that has this kind of spiritual beliefs, has only been a senator for two years and has no more experience than that? He doesn’t have a clue about running this country.

Has everyone forgotten the Clinton years and how the economy was then? We sure as hell were not in the mess we are in now!

With the constant stuff that the media is playing with, trashing Hillary Clinton and praising Obama, I have no doubt he will most likely be our Democratic winner. And if he is, I for one will be sitting back and watching what a mess this country is in for if he wins! Then we can thank the media for that!

Come on, folks, get out and vote for Hillary Clinton if you believe in her as much as I do! We need to quit letting the media try to sway what we know is right, no matter how hard they are trying.

Everyone knows it is still a man’s world, or so they think. So it’s time for us to speak up and let our votes count, because I truly believe Hillary Clinton can run this country better than any man ever could!

(Print this on your opinion page! Yea, right, too much good said for Hillary.)

Obama’s promises ‘mutually exclusive’

Crisscrossing the state, Sen. Barack H. Obama promises Hoosiers that, when elected, he will restore American manufacturing to its former grandeur. At the same time, he promises to appoint Al Gore to a position in an Obama administration that will address global warming concerns. However, policies that restore manufacturing and support global warming alarmism are polar opposites.

Projections from the National Association of Manufacturers show that if Senate Bill 2191 (which requires U.S. greenhouse gas emission reductions to 63 percent below 2005 levels by 2050) is passed, (1) electricity prices will increase 101 percent to 129 percent by 2030; (2) gasoline prices will increase 77 percent to 154 percent by 2030; (3) household incomes will decrease $4,022 to $6,752 per year by 2030, and (4) Americans will lose 3 million to 4 million jobs by 2030 (see www.nam.org).

Sen. Barack H. Obama promises to both resurrect and wreck American manufacturing. If you get the chance, you might want to ask him how he intends to implement these mutually exclusive campaign promises.
