Letter: Adult behavior should be rewarded

By Bill Kelley, Yacolt
Published: October 22, 2015, 6:00am

The Democratic Party debate showed Americans who are the adults. The Republican Party debate looked like a bunch of teenagers getting out of a clown car complaining about who squashed who.

Voters should fear Republicans who fearmonger the old tired arguments, God, gays, guns — Democrats are Godless, gays will corrupt your children, and your guns will be taken away. While doing so they retire to Wall Street and laughingly steal your pension, ship your job overseas, spy on you, interfere with health decisions, red ink the budget, and fund a war overseas.

Democrats debated the problems facing middle-class Americans. Republicans protected the 1 percent rich. Donald Trump, Republican front-runner, is the 1 percent. If you want a better America for the 99 percent, best ask yourself who looks out for “us,” not “them.”
