Opinion Line (Nov. 12)

President Obama favors the people. Republican Party leaders favor lobbyists. Why? Because they get paid well in campaign donations by the corporations to vote the way corporations want them to. Selling your vote should be treason.

George Bush took a lot of heat over Hurricane Katrina and FEMA. Hey, President Obama: Where's my H1N1 shot?

If Congress passes that health care bill, members of Congress should have to take the same plan that everybody else does. If they don't, the American people should be outraged and demand some answers.

* * *

Democrats, please don't let the people down. Conservatives and health insurance companies are getting worried, but American citizens need to be considered. The time for health care reform is now.

* * *

I dislike the comments that say "all Republicans this" or "all Democrats that." To paint one group with one brush is juvenile and idiotic. Most people love our country; we just have different points of view.

* * *

In response to the Opinion Line comment that "atheists never kill anyone in the name of anything": Have you never heard of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong or Pol Pot?

* * *

A lot of us have started buying only goods made in the USA, while all the big stores are choking with junk from China.

* * *

The trees in our parks and along our boulevards certainly have been beautiful, even though they are socialist trees.

* * *

It would make no business sense for Wichita to finish the road construction in and around the city. Traffic violations at construction sites are ATMs and cash cows, which keep the city fiscally sound.

* * *

Watching TV on Saturday afternoon, I didn't care if Northwestern beat Iowa, Central Florida survived Texas or South Carolina murdered Arkansas. I have basic cable TV, and I'd like to know why I couldn't watch Kansas play K-State.

* * *

You would think that with technology growing rapidly, the bank would figure out a way to text me right when it sees an overdraft. Instead it mails a letter. Oh, and thanks for the 14 overdraft fees, too.

Happy birthday, Marines. We're 234 years old now and still doing what we do best, defending the nation. Semper Fi and God bless you all.
