Opinion Line (Sept. 23)

The media always refer to anything in the north part of town as northeast or northwest Wichita. But let something happen in southeast or southwest Wichita, and they just clump us all together as “south Wichita.” I’m sick of the stereotype.

Kris Kobach’s crusade against fraud was never about vote integrity. This is about keeping the “wrong kinds of people” from voting.

Wouldn’t you like to know how much Kobach’s attempt to deprive the poor, indigent, and student voters costs the taxpayers of Kansas?

Donald Trump’s plan to make the economy great again and stimulate job growth is to cut taxes for the wealthy, cut taxes for businesses and reduce regulations. Sound familiar, Kansas?

Hillary Clinton, in her “deplorables” comment, knew exactly what she was saying and its intent. Her words were cold, calculated and intended, as was evidenced in the manner she stated them and by her half-baked apology.

Trump, as an expert con man, knows that you can go far in life by simply telling people what they want to hear.

The fact that some American citizens are supporting Clinton, a proven criminal and liar who undermines our nation’s national security, speaks volumes of the integrity of these citizens.

Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, is allowed to express his views, and we get to know his stands on the issues. I like what he represents. Mike Pence has to explain and cover for Trump (an impossible task) without revealing his own thoughts.

When will Republicans quit creating new programs, entitlements and special-interest tax incentives? Stop the new spending.

I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. Over the past 20 years, the Democratic Party left me.

Can anyone sing the words and notes the way the national anthem was written?
