Mitt Romney promises 12 million new jobs. I wonder how many of them will be at minimum wage, and with no benefits.


Dear Mr. Romney: Government is not a business.


So you’re not going to vote for Romney because he’s been rich all his life? I think I will vote for the rich guy. If he’s smart enough to make himself that rich, he must know something. That’s more than I can say about Barack Obama.


Mitt Romney and the GOP obviously believe that confusing voters with a series of lies about Obama’s positions and record of achievements will carry them to victory in November. In contrast, all the president needs to do to win is to tell the truth about Romney and his running mate.


I guess the highly moral Republicans enjoyed that Clint Eastwood speech. They were all cheering. I was on the fence, but now I am squarely in the Obama camp.


Really, Clint? An empty chair? You should have used an empty suit – much more representative of the current president.


George Bush, Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney were not allowed to speak at the Republican convention because they would make the GOP look bad. They got Clint Eastwood, who was incoherent, and I bet they paid him a fortune to show up.


Seniors have the most to lose with the implementation of Obamacare.


Why do people refer to the United States as “America”? We are no more American than Mexico, Canada or Brazil.


After doing laundry, running the dishwasher, taking a bath, flushing the stool and watering the grass, I decided that I would absolutely vote “no” on the fluoride issue. But if the water utility could find a way to put fluoride in my drinking water without wasting it on all the above uses, then I would vote “yes.”


How much does it cost to have all these Wichita city advisory boards?


Kris Kobach, Kansas secretary of other states.


There’s a rumor that the tea party wants to change the name of Liberal, Kan., to Oolong, Kan.


A sincere “thank you” to those riding bikes and actually using bike paths. You are much appreciated.


To all the people who wear baggy pants: What followers you are. If one guy started wearing underwear on his head, would you do it, too? Pull up your pants, Wichita. No one wants to see your dirty underwear.
