SOMEONE WROTE, ‘I won’t vote this year; there’s no one to vote for.’ Yes there is. Take a good look at Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. And for those who think that’s throwing your vote away, the Republican and Democratic parties thank you for allowing their incompetence and corruption to continue.

NO, THERE IS not going to be a 1 percent charge taken from the bank automatically in 2013. This stems from a bill that one congressman repeatedly submitted and got no support. For more information, see www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/debtfree.asp.

IF OBAMA IS a dictator because he uses executive orders to get around Congress, then he is the 44th dictator in American history. Every single president from George Washington on down has used executive orders for that exact purpose. George W. Bush signed over 1,000 during his time in office.

MR. BARNES, YOU should not even think about putting the sinking fund issue on a ballot three months after your stakeholders said ‘no.’ That would mean you really don’t care about their opinion at all. You asked, we answered. Let the matter wait for a reasonable time, perhaps next year.

THE PHILADELPHIA AREA electric company has reported that 15 electric energy-saving smart meters overheated and two have caused fires. Obama’s EPA is really smart. The meters know in the interest of saving the planet by reducing carbon usage they will burn your house down!

I HAVE WORKED at Chick-fil-A for 16 years. I love it! Each restaurant is independently owned and operated. The opinions of the CEO are just that. Not everybody is the same, I am thankful for that. This world would be a boring place to live if that were so.

THE COMMENTS ABOUT ‘legitimate rape’ made by Todd Akin, candidate for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, should remind all of us that there is very little daylight between an ideologue and an idiot.

IF YOU THINK that the average Chinese citizen has a good life, vote to reelect the incumbent. If not, elect a new president.

FOLKS, NEARLY EVERY business on the North end has suffered terribly from the construction. And nearly every business is family-owned. Let’s all show them some love now, as well as when the road is reopened. Taylor Hardware and Lockes Party Shoppe have been in our community for over 50 years each, just as an example.

ALL GREAT PRESIDENTS are criticized for their bold initiatives. Mr. Obama is improving our country with each passing day.

GOD BLESS THE Adopt-A-Pet people. And I pity the people who do the terrible things to these pets when they stand in front of God one day.

AMERICA, IF SOMEHOW the most divisive president in history is re-elected, we will soon be calling each other comrade.

DID I READ the story in the Times correctly? Am I to understand that I am paying almost 30 percent of every teacher’s salary into their retirement fund, in addition to paying their salary? Let’s cut the pretense and just let the teachers union replace the school board.

THE PEOPLE THAT canvass for recyclable materials to sell are doing us all a favor. Their efforts result in the recycling of millions of pounds of metal that would otherwise end up in a landfill for 500 years.

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD read the 25 things required to institute communism. It is frightening to see how they exactly mirror what it going on in our country.

THE TRI-COUNTY Times is working on a story about unusual pets for an upcoming issue. If you have an unusual pet and would like to be a part of this story, please e-mail your contact information to [email protected] so a reporter can contact you.

WHY WOULD WE want to elect a man who has been unemployed for the last several years and has lots of money in the Cayman islands and Swiss Bank accounts to be our next president?
•••
YES, GROW YOUR own garden next year. Just camouflage it from pesky neighbors who’d complain to the city to regulate gardens too! You’ve seen how they handled the chicken lady (who was just trying to feed her family) and the ice rink ordinance (kids having healthy exercise).

I WANT TO thank the Good Samaritan who lives on Tinsman Road. You came to my aid Friday night on Quick Road, called my husband, 911 and stayed with me until the police and EMT arrived. Thank you and bless you!

THE GREAT WALL of China, and the Egyptian Pyramids, were built faster than the LeRoy Street project.

THE TIMES’ ARTICLE on the oppressed Fenton schools custodial workers, left out some relevant facts. What are their individual base hourly wages, weekly hours worked, and total benefits? With an 8.3 percent unemployment rate, this reader would like to know whether to feel sorry for them or be envious of them.

TO THE PERSON who said if you don’t vote in a millage, keep your mouth shut. I would gladly vote if I didn’t have to work 14 hours per day to pay for the cost of the $50 million millage already passed by the teachers to pay for their massages and other outrageous medical benefits.

SO, BRIAN’S HOUSE Hospice is closing due to ‘changes in Medicare and Medicaid.’ Thanks President Obama. Oh, I suppose it is Paul Ryan’s fault. Wake up people before it is too late.

AT THE RETIREMENT park comment. It is none of your business who visits anyone whether two legs or four. If this is all you have to do, govern who comes into park, then you go visit elsewhere. Ridiculous!

MORE REPUBLICAN LIES. Raising capital gains taxes wouldn’t crash the stock market. Rates were higher under Clinton, Bush Sr. and Reagan than they are today. Do you people have any concept of history whatsoever? There has never been a crash that resulted from a capital gains tax increase.

TO WHOEVER WAS behind scheduling the Fenton High School freshman schedule pick up. I would like to know what you were thinking. The youngest group of students scheduled in the middle of the day. Parents work. Kids can’t drive themselves. You can’t work past 3 p.m.?
