Letter to the editor: Resident upset by misinformed comments

As the local council election campaign resumes into its grand final climax stage of April, 5, can I remind people as a mere observer and UK loyal participant of its exhaustive process to examine policies as much as four personalities. I have, you see, bothered to read KTVO TV comment section March 17, and of the tiny responses, I note that three negatives only one of which has passable name decency besides the winning campaign opener. One emptily focuses on chauvinist, ideological McCarthyite abuse of my spouse. Who is herself the sole female candidate running and a factually incorrect misidentified "Trumanite… history professor" who, actually, you silly nuts is no myself not so running.

So yes, Betty is proudly a progressive or a "liberal" person in the all-American, Midwesterner Chicago-born sense, too. And since she has never hidden this, why are you "mad cows" abusing that fine heritage? John F. Kennedy, may I remind such so-called conservatives or patriots, called himself, unapologetically, a tough-minded liberal crusader. In his addresses in 1960 he boldly made to the labor-oriented New York Liberal Party in the course of the early stages of his second successful presidential primary campaign, he approved the evils of the selfish rich to the L.A. nominating Democratic. He again affirmed progress, not conservative inertia, at his creed basis personally, too.

As for charges, FOX TV cliché vapid style of Betty today accused of her being "vague" or "big" government over-favoring that's all-star, hollow coming from presumable supporters of guy rivals for this election. All of them have yet to even issue detailed policies. We have all aided Betty responsibly by her in her election address. Where were you, anonymous nothingers? Lastly, in such careful policies we have all been careful to, solely, propose or stand by workable present KTC ones that are fiscally prudent. But, where they do, honestly, involve additional money outflow, they can and must be undertaken for any community, not just the "Trumanite" future as the many non-college, young, first-time electors of both sexes have come up to praise Betty or even me to my own delighted surprise.

So KTVO unrepresentative comment grousers, grow up! You might even learn some foresight from Betty.
