in the whole article, I love the quote under the title the most, there is no friend in politics
I like Ben McGowan’s comments. I was born in 1937. Since eligible, I’ve always voted Republican in presidential races, but have also occasionally voted Democrat in other races. I guess that makes me an Independent.
So glad I’ve always been an Independent. The current President has let everything be taken over by two saboteur “senators” that can do whatever they want–and are. It’s too upsetting to contemplate this nation’s future.
As for the cartoons, the bottom one about ‘a billion here, a billion there’ I found rather shocking. To see that amount being bantered about even in a cartoon (when I was 6 months old) seems kind of shocking. The rest are good lessons in why it’s best not to label yourself as a member of either party. I do discuss politics with others I know are in agreement. Those who aren’t have their right to their viewpoints.
