Shame on you, Jackson County, for not electing the best-qualified candidate for sheriff.

This is a response to Ben Nicks’ comment about Democrats’ infidelity (8/12, Letters): Sen. Vitter, Larry Craig and Mark Foley.

This is in regard to Joe Maddick’s letter, “Obama is ‘biracial’ ” (8/12) and saying that he’s trying to get the African-American vote. If he would look at the situation he would find that Obama’s daddy is an African, Obama is black-American, and that makes him African-American. How simple does it get?

We get the government we deserve when the so-called liberal press is focused on sexual infidelity instead of our representatives taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from oil companies.

With all the ballyhoo between the two presidential candidates, who can we truly believe? I say we try the next four years without anyone. How much worse can it get?

Let’s be sure singers who audition to sing the national anthem at the American Royal will sing it as it is written.

In answer to Tim “Goody-two-shoes” Counts (8/12, Letters) who is our spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency: Thank you so much, Tim, for protecting us from all the faux handbags and watches and so forth. God knows we’d be in trouble if you weren’t doing that. The only thing I see fake is your righteous indignation.

In response to Mr. James F. Meyer’s letter (8/14) about Bush haters: George Bush is no Harry Truman, and neither is John McCain. McCain won’t live long enough to see history exonerate him.
