Letter: Time for a new administration

The Columbian
Published: October 22, 2012, 5:00pm

We need more “G.I. Joes” for change in the White House not “Joker Joes,” like the one we got with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. during the vice presidential debate.

Biden’s “laughing gas” performance in the face of a failing economy and an internal moral crisis that threatens the very foundation of religious freedom in America was sadly typical of what we the people have come to expect from the Obama administration over the past four years.

Even in his lucid moments Biden was confused and contradictory in his debate with the more articulate, respectful, optimistic, and futuristic Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.

While claiming to be a devout Catholic and opponent of abortion, Biden hypocritically asserted that he could not “impose” his religious views on others. This is tantamount to living a double life.

Even the “Average Joe” knows that every civil law passed is, in fact, an imposition on someone.

We need to get rid of the jokers in the White House who idly sit by and fiddle while America burns. November is the time to do it.

–Ted Hanes, Vancouver
