Find facts on candidates and discard the rumors
Many letters this week regarding the presidential election! Some, however, make you wonder where the writer obtained the information. Oh yes, I forgot, there are still people who believe anything that comes out of a celebrity’s mouth or that they read on the Internet! Can no one promote their candidate with verifiable facts without slamming the other candidate with questionable rumors?
One letter did stand out. It concerns me with its statement: “Senator Obama may not be the perfect candidate, but is way ahead of his competition.” Do you mean all of his competition or just McCain? So, in other words, you will vote for the “lesser of the two evils” in your opinion? How many others share this same thought, whether it is for Obama or McCain? If you vote for someone other than either of these candidates, do you think your vote is wasted? Shame on any registered voter who feels this way. Research all candidates, then vote for the one you can defend choosing for the next four years. And by the way, Mr. Carter (letter, Sept. 24), could you please provide the data that proves “Southerners will not use their God-given minds when it comes to politics”?
