Today I heard a statement by a Dupublican committeeman that stated: “we need credible candidates”. This appears to be forgotten by our Government. Why have the major political parties fielded candidates who were less than credible? Were these candidates ever credible or did they become credible on paper after becoming candidates? Remember many ” credible candidates” proved to be otherwise when looked at closely (usually by the other party or other sources). I believe the credibility comes from our (voters) personal opinions sometimes based on our personal biases which are often skewed by ignorance and lack of current or cognitive information. The challenge for voters is to pay little attention to the media blitzes, flashy advertising and politi-speak that arrives ahead, during and after elections. In this country we have the right to speak out even if we are wrong and suffer no ill effects for it but that right (freedom) ends when it is truly slanderous and criminal in nature. The past elections and beyond have many Americans still castigating the current administration while giving the previous one a pass. We should all remember the saying” LEST WE FORGET”
