I'm really tired of the extremely of nasty politics that are being used in this presidential election cycle.

Granted, Trump has no control;from head to mouth and, from the quotes being brought from the past, probably never has,At least we know who he is. Vote your heart and mind. Don't be swayed by slander.

Funny How Selectively By Franklin Price 10/9/2016 Funny how selectively Free speech not really free The words I say to you And the ones you say to me Said in private conversation With some intent or not Recorded with or without knowledge Now see what we have got When politically expedient These words are put to bear To besmirch a reputation With forethought but not much care Doesn't matter whether true or not When voters can be swayed Timely release of information Many times have really payed Released by the well established Who can break the laws and win Only have to know of skeletons How to revive them once again To soap the voters' windows To cloud their view is neat It's Halloween a little early All is fair, it's trick or treat
