The thoughts and ideas expressed below are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

At times it seems almost everyone (except me) has lost all reason and sanity.  It is now established that the election contest will be a repeat between sensible and incompetent.  The race is on between Biden and Trump, that’s your choice.  Whether you love one candidate and despise the other, or you hate both, you will have to choose between these two.

When making your choice, study your options.  Learn, if possible, the capabilities of each choice.  Study their stance on every issue that matters to you.  This will be the most critical choice you have made in your life so far and will have consequences that can destroy our nation.

In an ongoing effort to aide you in determining who should occupy the Oval Office for the next four years I want to share someone else’s work that I came across.  The author is unknown but someone I would dearly love to meet and have coffee with.  The article titled WHO AM I VOTING FOR – AND WHY follows.

That moment when someone says “I can’t believe you would vote for Trump.”  I simply reply “I’m not voting for Trump.”

What are you voting for?

If one considers the above, it can help restore sensibility to our nation and our leaders.  Vote your conscience, but consider all the consequences.  We need to restore sanity immediately.

As John Wayne said, “Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid.”  Get smart, become educated and familiar with the truth but above all be sensible.  Eliminate hate, prejudice and old-time party loyalty.
