Letter to the editor: I am voting down-ticket Republican this year

Posted

I am voting for Joe Kent and Tiffany Smiley this election because I am sick and tired of the path the Democrats have taken us down. From the shameless never-ending and wasteful political witch hunts to the “mostly peaceful” riots of the “summer of love” to the now out-of-control crime wave and record-setting inflation, I am done with the Democratic Party. 

When are Democrats going to realize that Jan. 6 was nothing in comparison to the burning cities, out-of-control crime, inflation, and cost of living that their policies have directly led to? 

“Defund the police” was their battle cry for months as our cities burned. Yet, Democrats would have us all believe that a single day in January is worse than seeing Portland and Seattle burning for months. I laugh out loud now whenever I hear or read a comment by a person calling MAGA Republicans a threat to democracy. Talk about projection through confession. The very things the Democrats label the rest of us as are in fact the very things that they themselves are. All one must do is read their comments, editorials, tweets, and posts or listen to their commentary and opinions, or just witness their actions to know the truth of it. 

Democrats claim to support migrants and condemn enforcement of migration law but use the National Guard to remove 50 undocumented migrants from Martha’s Vineyard. The hypocrisy of the Democrats is so profound that it can only be classified as a fundamental religion to them. 

Democrats have taken a pro-criminal stance in every way. They call for “gun control” while they do everything they can to ensure criminals who use guns in crime get no cash bail and light sentencing. All the while, if you defend your own home from rioters you’ll be charged with a felony. Defend yourself against an assault and you’ll be charged with a hate crime. Don’t affirm your child’s chosen gender of the day, face child endangerment charges. Stand up for parental rights and find yourself on a terrorist watch list. The things that Democrats are doing to us border on insanity. 



It honestly seems as though Democrats fear other people’s freedom and enjoyment of life so much so that they are willing to ignore the obvious, that their policies, agendas, and actions have made life much harder for everyone. And instead of working to make our lives better, they are doubling down on those very policies, agendas and actions. No, we don’t need any more of that. 

I am voting down-ticket Republican this year because I am sick and tired of the pro-criminal Democrats, their hypocrisy, and the harm, inflation, and costs that their woke agenda has brought to America. 

Let us vote the Democrats out and focus on the important things in life. Things like making our homes, towns, cities, and states safe and wonderful places to live and raise our families. Instead of trying to burn our nation down, let’s build our nation back up.
