Sound Off for October 24, 2016

RINOs

Paul Ryan and other Republicans who bailed on Donald Trump need to quit being hypocrites if they aren’t going to support their party’s nominee.

Overqualified

Think of how great Jimmy Elder would be at putting our broken country together. Of course neither he nor anyone like him would want to be President.

Don’s playbook

The opponents of the “thaw” are implying a legal challenge if the thaw is approved. Must be taking lessons from Trump. Don’t like anything, sue!

Bitte schon

There are a number of new restaurants that have opened or will open soon. I wish that there was a good German restaurant in Columbus. One is sorely needed.

Fair trade

Hey, Hillary

If you want to be safe and you want privacy, use a stamp and an envelope.

Stealth PACs

Churches have increasingly become political cesspools despite our founding fathers’ wishes. Perhaps they should lose their tax-exempt status.

Not your issue

People who pay no property taxes should not be allowed to vote on anything concerning raising property taxes.
