Dear MJ: Having the Republicans win big in November is simply putting a BandAid on the cancers that is SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM, which are knocking down our 'door'. Capitalism IS the answer! But only if, somehow, the get-get section of our society can realize that having government borrow or print money for their... "free lunches", will not work, indefinitely. This race points out the shallowness of most voters, especially, the nearly brainless "undecideds". *** What is needed is less deference to the disparate groups, and more attention to doing the sure things that will benefit the most Americans, left and right. The latter was the reason my "NC" was written, and its the ONLY justification for courting the majority votes from either party's perspective. — John A. Armistead — Author and Patriot
