I will cut taxes. I will raise Social Security. I will win the war on drugs. I will defund the police. I will support the police. I will cut government spending. I will slash gas prices. I will drill for oil and natural gas. I will protect the environment. I will defend the Second Amendment. I will ban guns. I am against abortion. I am for a woman’s right to choose.
Vote for (insert politician’s name). It’s that time of year when all the political ads flood the airwaves. I am 68 years old and started voting when I was 18, and I have been hearing the same B.S. for 50 years. Every politician will promise whatever he or she thinks will get you to vote for him or her. But the only thing they really care about is getting reelected.
If they really cared about the citizens of this country, why do they spend millions to get elected to a job that doesn’t pay millions? Is it because they can make millions once they get elected?
At one time, we voted for the best candidate; now, we try to figure out who is not the worst. When you listen to the political ads, stop and think, can this joker really do what he or she is promising, or is it just another line of B.S.?
