Democrats running less on facts and more on lies

Well, here we go again. The closer we get to election time, and the less the Democrats have to brag about with their failed policies, the more lies they tell about Republican candidates. A good example is Christina Bohannan and her surrogates lying about U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ stand on abortion. They know Miller-Meeks believes in exceptions for rape, incest, and the health of the mother. And why does Andy McKean think State Rep. Steve Bradley’s stance is extreme when he believes in saving the life of the unborn with the same exceptions? Evidently, McKean thinks it is OK to end a baby’s life.
There should be laws against false political ads and newspapers and broadcasters have an obligation to their public to disallow false ads that try to impact elections.
Too bad the Democrats don’t have enough positive things to brag about. If they did, maybe they wouldn’t have to resort to so many dishonest ads and we would all be better off for so many reasons.
If there was ever a time that you really need to vote, this is it. Before you vote, ask yourself. Am I better off now than I was four years ago when President Donald Trump was in office — do I really think Kamala could handle World War III?
If you answer those questions truthfully, there is only one person you can vote for to lead this country.
