Letter to the Editor for Bill Northey

I don't mean this blog to be all about politics, but... 'tis the season -- election day is tomorrow.

This is my letter to the editor that I sent in to the Des Moines Register.  If you read my last post you'll know why I'm also posting it here.  The Register hasn't printed a single letter to the editor in favor of Bill Northey, even though the editor panel selected him to endorse!  Anyway, here it is.:

I generally think of the Democrats as having the high moral ground over the Republicans.  I see the Republicans as bullies trying to limit our freedoms and make the rich richer and the poor poorer.   In contrast, the Democrats try to do what's right for the majority of the people.  They're the compassionate ones.   That's why I was so upset when I learned about the animal cruelty that took place on Denise O'Brien's farm.  In this election, when the Democrats have a good chance at putting some ethics back into government, I hope none of them try to defend Denise O'Brien and thus get drug down by her sinking ship.   On Tuesday, I'll be voting all "D's", except for the Secretary of Agriculture.
