I have been quiet for many months on this blog. I decided to break my silence and say a few words about the presidential election that looms before us, a mere 11 days away, and a lot of people are not going to like what I have to say.
This presidential election has been one of the ugliest I’ve seen and heard in the 41 years I’ve been voting. The lack of integrity and honesty which has been shown, the amount of vile election games played, the lies, the dirt digging and mudslinging is appalling. The no-holds-barred, nothing-is-sacred approach to the 2016 election of our country’s next leader angers and saddens me all in one muckraking motion.
None of the candidates running this time, and I mean NONE, deserves the opportunity to represent us to the world, deserves to make decisions on our behalf that are meant to be for our benefit. All of them are flawed, their histories less than stellar, their attitudes and beliefs nowhere near where they need to be to lead a nation as diverse, and now divisive, as the U.S.A.
Yet, here we are with the candidates who were chosen, each party holding them up as the best they had to offer. So, now we must choose the least objectionable from among them and hope that one of those people will rise above everything that was done to put them into office and show us that we made the right decision in electing them.
There’s a lot to do to put things right again, for this nation to heal and become a united country that once again leads by positive design. All we can do now is vote, wait, and hope.
