This might be the scariest October we have ever had. In any election year someone is always scared that one of the candidates will win. In addition, this year we have to put up with the scary clowns all over the world. The East coast has had a really scary October Hurricane. It even played a little havoc in Newfoundland.
The entire world is a scarier place than it was just eight and then four years ago when we made another choice. The guy we elected then won a Nobel Peace prize. I guess the Nobel committee has a different definition of Peace. It just seems things are falling apart out there.
That affordable thing those guys passed doesn’t seem to be getting more affordable as we read about insurance companies dropping out. Physicists will tell you that entropy, where the world is moving towards chaos, is as always in control.
But the biggest scare is that regardless of who you intend to vote for it is impossible to tell that things will get better if either candidate wins. We all know that old politician joke that you can tell they are lying because their mouths are moving. This year both sides are even claiming that the other is lying. That might be the only truthful thing they say.
One pretty well describes the things I see as wrong, but it is a little hard to believe when he says trust me I will correct it. The other says there is and I have done nothing wrong. That certainly doesn’t ring true to me.
Heavens, even the foreign countries are commenting on the possible outcomes. It seems the most elected politicians are worried about what the candidates that win will do. At least, in doing that, they are admitting that they might be losing their comfy do- nothing jobs. So it seems to me..
Some of us old folks remember Harry Truman who talked about a “do-nothing congress”. This year it seems they are all do nothing folks. Maybe those scary clowns are just the debris from the ones that didn’t win either the primary or the last election.
One thing I am pretty clear on despite what either side says. They both are citizens of the United States and are old enough to be president. As far as I can tell that makes either of them qualified by the constitution to win. Now I understand that when one side says the other isn’t qualified that translates into something like I don’t like that person.
Last time I checked we voters have the most important say in the matter the candidates don’t. Over our 220 some years our picks, good or bad, have got us through it so far. The choice seems clear; I hope we make it through it again for the next four years. Then we have to go through this mess again, it is time to keep the faith in the voters.
