Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 31)

Whatever happened to “truth in advertising” laws? If they are still on the books, why don’t they apply to election commercials and fliers? Whose job is it to enforce them?

There is no right to marry. You can’t yet marry your brother, aunt, multiple people or animals. Likewise, there was no right to marry a person of the same sex until unelected judges overturned the will of the people.

Because of their stupid vote on the Carr brothers, Lee Johnson and Eric Rosen are going to lose their cushy jobs on the Kansas Supreme Court.

My respect for The Wichita Eagle has certainly diminished because it illogically chose to endorse Greg Orman and the City Council’s huge tax increase, both of which would ultimately be harmful to this city.

The jobs funds folks initially requested $90 million, and the City Council reduced it to $80 million on the voting ballot. The “no” vote supports one more decline, reducing the $80 million requested by the City Council to zero.

Those who want to raise taxes for their pet projects should pool their money and leave the rest of us out of it.

My fear with the next election is that if the Republicans gain control of the Senate, the middle class will slowly disappear. The wealthy will be in control, and the rest of the population will pay for them to get wealthier. All their grand plans do not work.

Have you noticed how Democratic candidates are running away from President Obama? Don’t let them fool you. They supported Obamacare. They supported his failed policies before and they will again. A leopard does not change its spots.

Having served our country himself, Mike Pompeo is fighting hard for U.S. veterans. I hope no one ever questions that.

I would never vote for anybody who just talks trash and more trash. Republicans have never said anything good about Obama, the president of the United States. Do they think we are as stupid as they are? What’s the point?

Dwight David Eisenhower was an independent right up until he declared his candidacy for president, and he was a very good president. Don’t let these D.C. thugs scare you.

If Republicans vote for Paul Davis, it’s like voting for another unknown quantity. The last unknown quantity was Obama, and look what we ended up with.

As a senior on Medicare, I will be voting against anyone who supports a state takeover of this program and urge all seniors to join me. We must protect ourselves from the state’s effort to seize our health care coverage.

Sending sports reporters from all three local stations to Kansas City, let alone San Francisco, to give insipid brief reports is mind-boggling. Do they accomplish anything worthwhile? Absolutely not.
