On the state and national level, I have been watching the negative campaign ads.
Frankly I am disgusted by it. If what they are saying about each other is true, the voters and average persons are being taken advantage of by them.
I get tired of opening my newspaper and seeing the schools are buying more computers to put in our grade schools. ... They don’t need computers in the grade schools. Put them in the high schools where they belong. These little 7- and 8-year-old kids have no business working on computers in school. As a parent of five children, I am beginning to wonder what our teachers are doing all day. .... Get rid of the computers and start teaching our children the basics. They might not always have a computer to play with.
It’s interesting that every presidential campaign, the Republican campaign has to make a pilgrimage to Independence, Mo., to pay homage to Harry Truman, how wonderful they thought of him. In 1948, they were ready to string him up. Now he is the most wonderful person in the world. Maybe they are in the wrong party.
It’s great to see our sheriff here in Pettis County hasn’t run a negative ad. It really appalls me to hear the opponent talk about things that are now obsolete as far as sexual predators. ... The opponent of Sheriff Bond needs to get a grip.
There is a golden rule. They who has the gold makes the rules. Our representatives in Washington, D.C., have the gold and make the rules. Some have been in office for too long, like 35 years. ... Our country is slipping and no one should disagree with that. ... Pork barrel spending is a joke and is never challenged.
It seems to me The Democrat news prints mostly the views for the Republican Party. I would like to see more articles from the Democrats. They listen and hear only what they want to hear, which is so unintelligent when our country is going down the tubes. Don’t they care? ... This is a very critical time in the history of our country. ... If you listen to Obama, you would see how intelligent he is, and that he has so much passion to help those of us who are not so wealthy. He will cut taxes for the middle class, and we are facing a real depression caused by greedy wealthy CEOs, not to mention the unnecessary war, or as I like to call it the wrong war. ... Now we cannot afford any war and would be lucky to get out of this one in a timely fashion. Use that money to rebuild our own country and bring back the middle class. I strongly urge everyone to watch the debate and make his decision from that.
To the person that stole the Obama/Biden sign out of my parents’ front yard on East Broadway, if you are that interested in supporting Sen. Obama, you can go down to his office on Third Street, and they have all kind of signs and buttons and everything.
Congratulations to Bonnie Holzschuh for winning third place for the best veterinarian in Sedalia. She should have been first as she is such a caring loving person to all the animals. That was a good idea voting for various things.
For the (person with the)... dealer plate, one of them big Chrysler boats, thanks for taking the handicapped parking place in Wal-Mart. You didn’t have the little blue sticker or handicapped plate. You seemed like you walked pretty well out of your car and into the store. For all the handicapped people, we wish you the worst of health. ... This is a follow-up about the dealer license plate parking in the handicapped spot, you got caught, didn’t you, and the Sedalia policeman gave you a ticket, didn’t he? I love it. That will teach you for parking in the handicapped spot.
What is the world coming to when one works in a hostile environment? Pleasantries such as good morning, have a nice day, how are you must be very difficult for some people to say. Hope the people reading this realize who you are and try to be a little kinder.
You have the crossword puzzle in the paper every day. But all of us aren’t smart enough to do that one ... I’d like to see you put a word search puzzle in the daily paper.
I want to make a comment on the cartoon in Monday’s paper. They had a cartoon of Sarah Palin and the guy holding a six-pack. I think it’s the most disgraceful thing I’ve ever seen in a newspaper. On the six pack, I notice it says 666. Anybody who knows anything about the Bible knows it’s the sign of the beast. Of the antichrist, I think that’s disgraceful to have that in there.
Happy days are here. Are we stupid or what? I don’t understand why people are so upset about this bailout. Listen and I will tell you how to make it work in your favor. This is what I intend to do. I am going to take all my credit cards and I am going on a spending spree. I am going to shop till I drop, and then I am going to shop some more. Buy furniture, refrigerators, jewelry, tires, cameras, flat screen TVs, boats, cars and anything else that will fit on my credit card. I know you have been taught to save all your life and look where it has got you. When the bills start coming in, just drop them into the recycling bin on your way to an expensive, five-star restaurant. In a few months, everything will be free and clear. You don’t need money. Henry Paulson will step up and do the right thing. He will take care of us. ... Let your kids worry about it. ... Alleluia, I am a free man.
If you pass by a starving dog every day for two weeks, couldn’t you please feed him.
