Please Step Forward - And Response

  • Tuesday, May 31, 2016

Will a truthful, honest, law-abiding, trustworthy, high-profile, well-known, experienced, political figure from Congress who is not awaiting settlement by authorities or the courts for unlawful activities please step up and prostrate themselves at the feet of the voters and volunteer their services to fill the position of leader of the free world before election day?  I know who you are and I know you have proved yourself over and over again through the years when you have been called upon to serve the people of our country.   

We Americans would like to be able to hold our heads high when we turn on the TV and know we can believe what we hear and approve of what we see rather than another press conference like the ones we just witnessed by Donald Trump, Bernie, Hillary, et al.  Members of the media should not be subjected to the treatment they received today.  They have rights too, regardless of how irritating they can be.  Where would we be without them?  We cannot just sit and wait to see what happens.

Ms. Parton, 

As the mainstream media has become a Fifth Column for the Democratic / Progressive front runner Hillary Clinton it is refreshing to see someone stand up and fight back. 

It’s my opinion that so much of the media’s attention has been focused on a witch hunt to see what they might be able to dig up or fabricate on Donald Trump instead of reporting on known stories and facts on the dishonest and treasonous actions of Mrs. Clinton.   

I dare say the I’m not in the minority.
