Several letters from the Saturday and Sunday editions of the Las Vegas Sun cry out for responses from me.
Richard J. Mundy states several reasons why he thinks nobody should support John McCain’s bid for the presidency, then asks, “How can any intelligent person support McCain’s bid for the presidency?” My answer to that: Look at the alternatives.
James J. Poupard lists several reasons, from his observations, why Bush does not deserve even the 28 percent approval rating he has received. He then states, “A 28 percent approval rating? Why?” My response is that not everyone sees the situation through cracked glasses. Again, consider what might have been.
Leopold A. Potsiadlo says he used to savor every word that columnist Maureen Dowd wrote, “as if they were delicious pieces of chocolate to be slowly dissolved and appreciated. However, her recent columns berating the Clintons have become increasingly distasteful, as reflected in her latest commentary appearing in the Sun, shouting with childlike behavior, in effect, ‘Go away, Hillary, Go away!’” When she writes what he wants to read, he “savors” it. When she doesn’t, he castigates her as being “distasteful” and “childlike.”
Clinton has often said she is “the most experienced,” which raises the question: At what? Perhaps she is referring to dodging bullets in Bosnia.
Barack Obama occasionally comes out with something worthwhile, but is most often content to just repeat, “Change we can believe in.”
I have honestly tried to imagine either of them as commander in chief, but it just doesn’t fit.
If the phone rings at 3 a.m. in the White House, I want John McCain with his military experience to answer it.
Hillary has further stated that she “will be the president, not Bill.” She would be president in name only; Bill would certainly be the de facto president.
