No to Bush and Clinton for president

The Fresno Bee does a great job trashing Republican candidates and voters. The Bee should make small effort to learn why the top three candidates have a strong following. It’s because a majority of Americans feel our country is going in wrong direction.

Here’s a list that might help:

▪ A president who would be king. Anyone thinking differently than the Democratic Party is termed stupid, homophobic, racist or obstructionist.

▪ Black lives seem to matter when white cops are involved, but there’s not much concern for those killed by terrorists and gangs.

▪ Blaming law-abiding gun owners and workplace violence for attacks that government fails to prevent.

▪ Representatives not standing by promises they are elected on.

▪ Few meaningful jobs, or any jobs for our children.

▪ A nation proud of growing food stamp use and the welfare population.

▪ Jobs and tax money going to refugees we do not have jobs for, nor tax money to support.

A good number of us do not want to see another Bush or Clinton in the White House.

Can The Bee do more than criticize many of its subscribers?
