To the Editor:

Top 10 things not to say if you are running for a presidential candidate:No. 10: Don’t say your favorite book in the New Testament is Job. Howard Dean regrets that the Gideons weren’t allowed to give him a Bible in grade school. No. 9: If you are a doctor (Howard Dean) you don’t say if God had thought homosexuality is a sin he would not have created gay people. He never read about Sodom and Gomorrah either. That means he’s for special rights for people going through self gender sex identification crises. No. 8: Don’t say George W. Bush attacked Iraq without reason. Did they forget the Aug. 1, 1990, rape, slaughter and invasion of Kuwait and threat to Saudi Arabia. Also the continued violations of the ceasefire agreement by Iraq. Bill Clinton did nothing to make them comply. No. 7: Don’t keep telling us what the other party did wrong. We want to know what you are going to do right. No. 6: Don’t keep saying I am going to do this or that when we know you need the Senate’s vote to do it. No. 5: Don’t say the unborn human baby isn’t worth protecting but the eagle’s eggs are. No. 4: Don’t keep flip-flopping on the issues. Say what you mean and mean what you say. No. 3: Don’t say you are going to have more gun control laws. Lock up the criminals, not the guns, and make the criminals pay for their own defense instead of victimizing the taxpayers. No. 2: Don’t say you are going to encourage illegal workers to return home by offering retirement benefits and tax free savings accounts when they leave. (George W. Bush) What are the American workers? Chopped liver? Who’s paying for it? No. 1: Say you’ve passed a Medicare drug plan when it’s just a cash cow for insurance and drug companies.
