Opinion Line Extra (Aug. 7)

We are in a truly sorry state as a nation when we can’t come up with anyone decent to vote for, Republican or Democrat. What in the world is going on with us?


Hillary’s best campaign booster is Donald.


The ventriloquist controlling this dummy has obviously been laid off.


If Hillary Clinton was in my neighborhood going door-to-door stumping for votes, I would open the door with my fingers in my ears shouting, “La-la-la-la-la!”


How can so many Americans overlook all the corrupt dealings that Hillary and Bill Clinton have done and are, frankly, getting away with? The average American citizen would be sitting in prison immediately.


The rise of Donald Trump shows that rank-and-file Republicans have abandoned the empty promises of modern “conservatism,” which has always been nothing more than a scheme to benefit the rich.


As a registered Republican, I have lost my last shreds of respect for our leaders who are still supporting Trump. They are putting the party ahead of our country.


It never ceases to amaze me how much hate spews from liberals. How do they stand themselves?


Obama has not taken away any of your freedoms. Actually, he has given freedoms on many levels and to many people of this country. If you don’t acknowledge those freedoms, it must be that you’re angry about them.


Hillary lied about nothing. The accusation is a total GOP tactic to discredit her before the upcoming election.


Amazing that Obama’s daughter is doing something he has never done in his entire life – working and doing so at a private-sector job.


Not a surprise that the states with the lowest credit ratings are run by Republicans, including New Jersey with Gov. Chris Christie. They have really screwed up Kansas. But voters have already started to wake up.


For God’s sake, don’t just ignore what your children are doing in public while you shop. They should never be picking up anything you’ve not commanded them specifically to touch. People will have to pick up after your little monsters. Be a parent.


Someday I hope to be able to afford a new iPhone, like the girl in front of me at Wal-Mart with the food stamps.
