Romney will change things for the worse
Re: “The clear choice for troubled times,” Editorial, Oct. 25
Surprise, surprise, The Washington Examiner endorses Mitt Romney.You state that’s because you want “real change.” Change, yes, but the real question is change to what?Change for change’s sake can mean change for the worse.
Romney is on all sides of all issues. One example: his “bucket” for tax deductions has gone from $17,000 to $25,000 to $50,000. And he was for women’s health rights before he was against them.
In the last presidential debate, Romney agreed with President Obama so much that I thought he was Obama’s campaign manager.He spoke of getting things done in Massachusetts by dealing with Democrats, a luxury theU.S.House — which is filled with Republicans — has not afforded the president of our country.
It is hard to pin down “Romnesia,”but if Romney’s ideas are so good for the country, why is he losing in his home state?

Examiner endorsement was evident for months
Re: “The clear choice for troubled times,” Editorial, Oct. 25
Nice, crisp boldface headline for your endorsement of Mitt Romney.But as one who never misses reading TheExaminer I — among many others, I suspect — anticipated your endorsement by your lambasting of President Obama for the past six months in editorials and columnists’ pronouncements.
Guess you just had to add icing on the cake, as it were.
Too bad The Washington Examiner is not published in a region where an endorsement might have some impact.The greater metropolitan Washington area is Obama country.But we will be steadfast in reading TheExaminer, even after Obama’s victory.My military training taught me to always examine the opposing viewpoint.

Blizzard of political ads hypnotize voters
For all those undecided voters out there who are still mesmerized by campaign slogans, political TV ads and incessant TV commentary, here are some sobering thoughts to help you break the hypnotic trance the politicians have you under.
Politics is nothing more than a politician pretending to be a world-renowned chef and attempting to put frosting on a rock and call it a cupcake. The news media are world-renowned food critics who say that they have personally eaten this cupcake and pronounce it delicious, the best they have ever had.
If thisanalogy doesn’tbreak the trance, then go and flush all your money down the toilet. This will take all the fun away from those elected politicians you put in office by mistake who were looking forward to doing it for you.
