This is how stupid and ignorant some voters are.

An actual LTTE in a local newspaper this week:

Inside Washington game must end

The United States government
and public schools together are
trying to destroy the morals of
the families in the United States by
systematically using a dependency
on the welfare system to break up
families. So, I as a Christian, will
be voting for Donald Trump and
Mike Pence, who are not insiders
in the corrupt United States
government.

I have a good feeling about
Trump and Pence wanting to bring
back Christian values to the United
States. So Christians make sure
you vote for the candidate that you
believe is the most Christian.

XXXXX,
XXXXX


Where do you begin? Christian values? Trump?

If this wasn't so common among voters around here, this would have brought on a good belly laugh.

Jump to 2:22 to hear how Obama caused 9/11 by always being on vacation and not on his job at the White House.

Yet there are people who will waste, yes I said WASTE their vote on Stein or Uncle Aleppo. Any vote that's not for Hillary is a vote for Trump.

I urge you to write your own LTTE to counteract this nonsense.

On the great boogeyman called "the welfare system," I would talk about corporate welfare, in the form of subsidies and tax loopholes, which costs taxpayers FAR more than social safety net programs that help the poor.

and

http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/12/welfare-wealthy-corporations/

And "Christian values." Give me a break. You can list thousands of instances of both Trump and Pence talking and behaving in ways that are completely opposite of the teachings of Jesus Christ.

It is appalling how many people in this country could have written that letter.
