Thiele letter: Character counts

Character counts. OK, no candidate is perfect, but values count.

Fairness: Who cheats on his wife (wives), and plays dirty?

Loyalty: Who has turned on his fellow Republicans, our veterans (e.g. John McCain, etc.) and our allies?

Respect: Who disparages our current military leadership and talks as if he would be king?

Do no harm: Who cheats small business people, abuses our tax system, and will run up our national debt?

Ten Commandments: Who makes lewd comments about women, mocks people with disabilities and says he does not ask for forgiveness?

Vote.
