I sense that undecided voters are those who would typically vote Republican and want to ignore the warning signs and treat electing an autocrat as acceptable. Kamala Harris exposed Donald Trump in the recent debate as having no plan to replace the Affordable Care Act, only a concept, after nine years. But what about Project 2025, which was written by many former Trump administration members? Trump has disavowed it, but I expect if he wins, he’ll adopt it lock, stock and barrel.
A complaint is that Harris isn’t specific enough on policies; if people want details, go to kamalaharris.com/issues/ and read the details about her policies. Is that too much effort? The contrast between Harris and Trump could not be more apparent, yet the pressure still seems to be on her to be the perfect candidate.
People give Trump a free pass on being delusional and dangerous. The cynic in me thinks they want to claim to be undecided just to be “undecided.” Donald DeCray Sr.
Bethlehem I love basketball. One of my favorite movies has a quote that I think fits the situation we Americans face this election year. The movie is “Hoosiers,” from 1986, when a disgraced college coach brings an Indiana high school basketball team to greatness in spite of its hurdles.
The coach tells a star player to “keep your head in the game” when the player’s drunken father shows up at the game, is removed from the premises and totally embarrasses the young player. How does this relate to us today, voters? We must keep our heads in the game and stop paying attention to propaganda or anything in the media to distract us from what’s going on in America and the world. Kamala Harris is that new distraction, and you will hear a flip flop on everything she ever said that you found offensive (she no longer wants to ban fracking, Pennsylvania).
Flip flops are seasonal and candidates change ideas as quickly as you change your shoes. This is important for those of you who remember that movie, care about yourselves and your children/grandchildren, and read this to the end and are thinking about it. Mary E.
Wozniak East Allen Township Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign agenda is in stark contrast to many Democratic policies she adamantly supported over the years. She is flipping her stance on so many issues for a reason — your vote. But don’t be fooled.
Liberalism is in her blood. She does not have moderate values and is lying to earn votes. When recently asked about this sudden change of platform stance, even hard-left Bernie Sanders stated Harris has to be “pragmatic” in doing what is right to win the election.
This Democratic Party will do, pay (public debt/taxpayer money) and promise anything to stay in power. Even if you don’t like Trump, vote Republican and pray that this slide can be stopped. Just like during President Biden’s tenure, Kamala wouldn’t be running the show — the radical left party would, and we are reminded everyday just how damaging these past years have been.
Tired of big government/money censoring the news and slowly taking control of our lives behind our backs? Seen enough? I hope so. Allen Wejkszner North Whitehall Township In 1992, Americans dismissed Dan Quayle because he couldn’t spell “potato.” In 2024, we have Americans riding high with a felon and serial liar who says Haitian immigrants are eating pets — and believing this.
How, as a society, did we get to this? Melissa Hamilton Love Lower Macungie Township It never ceases to amaze me how people blame the current administration for lack of border legislation, when in reality it was Donald Trump who told Congress not to vote on a recent bipartisan border security bill. Basically, the Republican House Majority and Senate Republicans felt it was more important to grant Trump’s wish to not have Democrats and this administration look good right before election, and instead to just allow fentanyl to continue to come across the border. That’s a disgusting way to legislate.
Why didn’t Trump pass border legislation when he was in office? As far as “Biden’s administration failed,” I never realized it was a failure to reduce and cap prescription prices, and to have 56,000 new infrastructure projects started between 2021-23, according to the administration. And since World War II, 88 million jobs have been added under Democrats, and 32 million under Republicans. And Trump increased our national debt by $8.
4 trillion, whereas President Biden has added $4.3 trillion to the deficit. Facts matter.
Not wishful thinking. Debora Getz Richland Township Voters should be aware that Republican congressional representatives passed a bill in May, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, that protects the public. The bill would prohibit a Federal Reserve bank from issuing a central bank digital currency (i.
e., a digital dollar) directly or indirectly to an individual, etc. (This would in effect, replace your paper dollars and coin.
) Steven Forbes, editor in chief of Forbes Magazine, stated that with a central bank currency, you could kiss any vestige of privacy goodbye, as the government could easily track everything you spend. The voting was 216 for and 192 against. Republican Reps.
Fitzpatrick and Meuser voted yes to support the bill. Democrats Dean, Wild and Cartwright voted no in opposition. Matthew C.
Ford Jr. Upper Nazareth Township The competition between the two hospitals in the Lehigh Valley is annoying. I thought hospitals were for helping the sick and dying people of our community first and foremost.
These two hospitals are focusing mostly on their grandness when I think they should be putting the patients first. In my opinion, a hospital should exemplify humility and the love of God more than anything. These two hospitals are missing the point of what serving the community really means.
