To the Editor:

Most papers lean to the left a little and some a lot. I believe your newspaper is impartial when it comes to letters to the editor. I can see you print both sides, congratulations.

I am an independent, I was a blue-collar worker all my life, I retired with a 38-year pension and a four-year enlistment in the Navy. I am 79 years old and consider myself a patriot. I have been involved in politics since the first time I could vote, when I was 21. 

My observations are as follows: this country is in trouble. We have a president that is screwing up so badly he’s making Jimmy Carter look good. Bubba Clinton went to school in England and chose not to join the service or was not drafted. Hillary Clinton equals liar, liar, pants suit on fire. I understand she just won four Pinocchio awards. 

Now it’s time to pick on so-called Republicans. Romney equals loser, McCain equals loser, this year’s 16 hopefuls equal losers. RINO Ryan equals a man that did Obama’s work and raised our national debt. It was the first thing he did.

Donald Trump is far from perfect but he is the only game in town — unless you want lying Hillary. He is proud of his accomplishments in life and will go out of his way to make himself look good. If that happens, America would benefit. God only knows how important this election will be to our country and the rest of the world.
