Who Got Where and How

With Election Day nearly upon us, the focus should be on the real issues and proposed solutions of the candidates - how easily we are misled

We can certainly respectfully debate over who got where and how, but it seems to me that anyone supporting a candidate for the Oval Office...ANY CANDIDATE OF ANY BACKGROUND...who has advanced the open border policy, advocates for paid health care and a litany of other tax-funded benefits for illegal aliens that many citizens do not enjoy, is rallying for price controls on commodities as a means to restore the economy that has been crippled under Joe Biden (instead of less government spending and more tax relief needed to build back the economy), embraces government-funded abortions at will for any reason even after the birth of an infant instead of abortions for such things as cases of rape, incest, or health of the mom as governed under state-by-state rule (thank you, Supreme Court...it's not the federal government's place to rule over the abortion issue and never should have been), has coddled criminals of all varieties (destroying San Francisco and California at-large in the process) by embracing such foolish policies as no cash-bail, permitting smash and grab robberies of large and small businesses, and letting criminals back on our streets to do more harm to innocents, moving to end (yes, end) the use off fossil fuels by some subjective date (2035...who came up with that completely unscientific mandate, Anthony Fauci?), supports godless WOKE ideology and such things as biological men competing in women's sports (you have a daughter? I have a daughter... enough said), drag queens reading to our school children and public grade school "gender orientations" (how about reading, writing and arithmetic, Jethro?), has no idea whatsoever with regard to good foreign policy at a time the world is on the brink of large scale conflict and nuclear devastation, and all while this is happening, refuses to be interviewed or address the Nation HONESTLY without a teleprompter (or even with one)...that person (supporting such an individual for POTUS) is the REAL fool, but worse than that, is a person that is unknowingly or uncaringly and without remorse, placing the entire Country at great risk of harm for choosing to support a candidate for any reason (race, gender, political party, or a distorted phobia of the other candidate, etc.) other THAN THE REAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT US ALL. I submit to you that of all the things for which we can have a legitimate and respectful difference of opinion (for me that list would NOT INCLUDE open borders, drag queens in our schools or any sort of indoctrination over education in our learning institutions) can we not at least agree to put aside the personal qualities and characteristics of the candidates (to the extent they have no affect on their ability to lead) and FOCUS ON THE DAMN ISSUES!!! By doing so, we are going to elect the right person (Donald Trump) like him or not, and will avoid electing the wrong person (Kamala Harris) like her or not, to lead us through the next extremely critical 4 years ahead.
