Letter to the Editor: What are the 47%ers?

To the Editor:

I guess I really don’t know where to start. Our country, the USA, is so divided and so many problems that need attention and fixing.

Remember when Mitt Romney said, “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what.”? That group is being led by the devil and they want to ruin America. They want the Bible and the Ten Commandments out of everything, especially our schools. They want the people to depend on the government.

The government is taking over 16% of our economy by taking over healthcare. Did you ever think it could come to this? Pay and join the government healthcare or be fined. The worst thing that ever happened to our country is Obamacare. Our Congress is having one hell of a time figuring out how to replace the 2,700-page Obamacare.

Just keep it simple. Have a government-run insurance just for the poor and let the rest of us buy our own insurance. The cost of insurance would drop if there is good, fair competition.

The 47%ers live on the west and east coasts, and I think most of them are second-class citizens - non-productive, even dishonest. I feel sorry for the good people that have to work with them.

Do you remember when Bishop Burke of La Crosse wrote some articles about and against abortion and same-sex marriage? The year was 2004. Bishop Burke said legislators like Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Tom Harkin should not be allowed the sacraments. My question is, where were all of our so-called religious leaders?

I saw on TV a reporter talking to a woman regarding Hillary Clinton. She said, “I know she lies, steals and is not a good person, but I will vote for her anyway.” The reporter asked her why, and she said, “Because I’m a Democrat.” When another woman was asked why she would vote for Clinton, she replied, “Because she’s for abortion.” Don’t that make the 47%ers proud?

Right now, as I’m writing this in late May, President Trump is overseas doing a superb job, better than any of his 16 competitors or Hillary Clinton could do. But the 47%ers would never admit that Trump is doing a great job all the way around. Thank God for Trump, especially you Christians who work hard for him and voted for him. He needs your prayers and support now as the 47%ers are savagely working to hurt him.

A survey showed that 96% of the Trump voters would vote for him again. I think it’s more like 100%, plus 10 or 15 more by now. A big number of Hillary voters would not vote for her today. The 47%ers are blaming Russia for Hillary losing. Not the true facts, she is just a very poor candidate. Again, Thank God for Trump.

Kindest regards
