This Election Season Is Wearing Thin
I know. As if they all aren’t. In my 33 years, however, I don’t think I’ve ever seen more vicious and inflammatory rhetoric. Here in Tennessee, you’re seeing heated battles for Governor and U.S. Representative.
I’m sure most Tennesseans have seen the campaign ads from the likes of George Flinn, Diane Black, Zach Wamp and Ron Ramsey. Anyone who has read this space before, knows how I feel about Ramsey. The candidates have been disappointing with the almost cartoon-like tone of their campaigns.
In my mind, all this does is divide the people. Not one of them has said how they would like to bring us together. To me, this is the problem with politics. These politicians work at stoking the flames of fear without giving any concrete plans for how to solve the state’s and the nation’s problems. My vote will go to those who demonstrate true leadership. I don’t want the loudest voice. I just want the fairest one.
