No donkeys allowed?

Re Donkey lover

In reply to R.W.’s letter lambasting the Romney-Ryan Republican presidential ticket, poor ole R.W. was apparently injured by an elephant many years ago, and holds a fierce resentment for all elected pachyderms.

The American electorate has poor choices for our next president. Obama is owned and controlled by the Chicago mob and the Wall Street mob. Romney is owned by the Wall Street gang and the Israeli lobby.

Obama is left of Marx and Lenin.

Romney is to the right of Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan. Neither candidate is good for our once great Republic. Both political parties have become a joke. Obama, so far, has refrained from going to war with Iran.

Shortly after the November election, we will be at war with Iran, regardless of who is elected.

Our county government has become a majority of elephants. A donkey can’t get elected in our county government.

Our Republicans are not perfect, but they are better than the Demos they replaced. Chicago would welcome you as a resident. R.W. Rahm Emanuel would probably present you the key to the city.

You Demos are just about extinct in Hunt County. You wild liberals fear the T Party and rightly so. Cruz will trample Sadler. Texas voters elect the lesser of the two evils.

If Obama would embrace the second amendment and pledge not to get involved in a no-win war with Iran, I and many other Republicans would vote for him.

Our welfare and constant warfare and 40 percent of the workforce employed by government entities assure us we are close behind Greece and Europe, and probably near the implementation of martial law.

Vote for new Y
I write to support the YMCA bond election from a perspective of the role they provide in the health of our community. As a health care professional, I have long understood and supported the need and development of a comprehensive Health and Wellness Center which could serve not only as a fitness center and playground, but as a cornerstone for building and maintaining healthy bodies and lifestyles.

In support of new Y
A number of Greenville citizens have asked if we can afford a new YMCA. After many years of being a part of the Y, I think the question is, can we afford not to build a new YMCA?

Examine the facts

Proven for the job
It has come to my attention that Tyson Cox has declined a candidate’s forum with Dan Perkins sponsored by GEUS. The forum was to be broadcast on their network.

Cox good choice
I was born and raised in Greenville and have lived here most of my life, except for the two years my husband, Perry M. Smith, was in dental school and the two years he practiced dentistry in West Texas.

Endorsing Cox
We don’t often write letters to the editor and even more rarely endorse political candidates. But we could not pass up the opportunity to offer our wholehearted endorsement for Tyson Cox.

The last Triple Crown Winner in thoroughbred horse racing in the U.S. was Affirmed in 1978. With Orb's loss in the Preakness there won't be a Triple Crown winner again this year. Will there ever be another Triple Crown winner?
