To the editor:
The election of Obama, as indicated by recent letters to the editor, has motivated a plethora of hate letters.
Strange that they all seem to regurgitate the same vomit you can hear every day on Fox News or from "ditto heads."
I guess we have elected a Socialist Muslim who consorts with known terrorists and can hardly wait to destroy this nation.
After eight years of Bush I would have voted for a retarded possum.
By the way, the Dems have not controlled Congress for the last two years.(another little Republican spin).
They controlled the House.
Bush (for his first six years) never vetoed a single bill.
When the House went Democratic he vetoed everything and the Senate supported him by blocking any overrides.
The shape this country is in lies directly at the feet of Republicans.
Regardless, I have never seen such vitriol and venom before an elected official takes office.
Can't these people wait for the man to be in office for at least one day before proving their ignorance?
The least they could do is brand an (I) on their forehead so people will know not to waste time conversing with an idiot.
While I'm venting, I'm getting a little tired of the continuing effort to canonize Reagan.
He espoused the usual Republican mantra of cutting taxes, reducing government and staying within budget.
In reality,the government grew under his tenure,he left a $3 trillion debt and broke the law under Iran-Contra.
By the way, the great Oliver North actually belongs in jail for shredding documents and lying to Congress. So, please spare me for your desire to return to those good old days.
