To the Editor: Sports, politics game of different types

I don’t want to be a pessimist, but I said long ago if Obama and Romney are the best America has to offer — we’re in trouble. Did you ever wonder if they were really looking out for America they would have put all these “great” ideas in place long ago to help our economy.
I now believe that we as Americans think the more money you make the smarter you are. If that’s the case, let’s put a top shelf football coach in charge since they make much more than our president’s salary.
But then of course, the loser of the OSU/Michigan game does not have all the protection our president does. Sports and politics — just a game of different types.

Gary-You are sooooooo right when is Anerica going to wake up? I am so un-desided about the vote just like I was in '07. They only want to back-stab the other guy and say what he has done wrong. They never put a plan together and tell us what they are going to do. I already know about the past, it's finished, what can you do for me in 2013 and beyond.

There is another alternative. The third candidate, ignored by media, is Gary Johnson. A successful financially conservative Governor from New Mexico, who started his own business which became one of the largest contractors in New Mexico. He further advocates for ending the wars, cutting the budget and taxes, and providing the ground work for a successful free market economic system.

Gary Johnson is the only hope we have. Romney and Obama are one in the same.

First: congrats, Nathan, on your wedding; I wish the best to you and Blair.

I think you meant "one and the same."

I find a lot to like about Gary Johnson, and what I often like about some prominent Libertarians (unlike the Pauls, for instance), is that their small party status frees them to be much more honest about their beliefs, their personal stories, and their plans for the country than the major party candidates. But this is due, I think, to a cruel fact: the wishy-washoness of the Rep/Dem pres. candidates is due to the fact that they have to appeal to broad coalitions, forcing compromise. But to say that they are one and the same is not right at all, especially on social issues.

I do not vote for the party, I vote for whom I think will do the best good. My parents were the same, and taught us to do our research. Then vote . What I see now is a broken Washington with run a way politicians, and Special Interest Groups as well as all the Lobbyists. I have to admit though, that our current President did not start a dirty campain, but is letting the public know the trueth. And I almost forgot the curruptness of Wall Street too. And a corrupt Congress to that could care less about getting anything done.
