Election is important

To the editor:

It is our fault.

Over the last few decades both political parties have successfully wooed voters with same old mantra of jobs, jobs, jobs and that the free market economy will benefit everyone. This may be true for the party leadership and the big money that supports it, but has this ever been true for voters?

The corporate controlled print and electronic media spews out skewed left or right propaganda. The voters are too busy or unwilling to seek out opposing views to decide for themselves what is true.

Talk radio and daily newspapers are a collection of half-truths and biased opinion. If we are to blame today’s political mess on anyone it might be the media and our own lack of critical thinking

This election is too important to follow blindly along and not ask ourselves who is best qualified to be president of the United States before we vote.
