Democrats are still on hook for abortion

Response to Chattanooga Times’ page Oct. 2, “Republicans Are Still Trying to Murder Obamacare.”

Why is it Pam Sohn never gets it correct? The truth would be “Democrats are still murdering, aborting innocent unborn babies.”

Limits on speed are not new for truckers

A recent article about trucks capping their top highway speeds was incomplete.

It seemed to focus primarily on independent owner- operators who make up only a percentage of trucks on the road that travel speeds in excess of 75 mph or 80 mph.

Obviously, these independent operators don’t want their trucks slowed down because it will cut down on miles traveled within duty limits. Which means a pay cut.

The drivers quoted feel that the speed difference will cause rear-end accidents. True.

The point is this. There are already thousands of company trucks owned by fleets such as Wal-Mart and Covenant Transport, whose trucks have speed-limiting devices and can only travel around 68 mph.

Not a new issue.

The article left that part out.

I know there are inconsiderate truck drivers out there, but they aren’t the only problem. I’ll bet some of the rear-end accidents are due to cars coming up behind them doing 90 mph or more. Truckers get cut off too, then can’t stop. That said, trucks shouldn’t be running two abreast blocking both lanes either. Something for everyone to think about.

Congenital liar as president? Never!

Hillary Clinton has claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. It is a bald-face lie. That’s right, Sir Edmund climbed Everest several years after her birth.

As part of her many countries traveled routine, she claimed to have landed under fire in Bosnia. Turns out, it was total fabrication.

Hillary remarkably turned $1,000 into $100,000 investing in cattle futures, all within less than a year. Her explanation was that she watched the prices carefully and invested wisely. Thanks, insider trading.

She is the one who hired private investigators to smear the victims of her serial sexual predator of a husband. It was her that came up with the “bimbo eruptions” theme.

Those who have the temerity to question or disagree with her are labeled as deplorables and right-wing nuts.

Hillary has accomplished virtually nothing worthy of any note. Name a treaty or pivotal legislation sponsored by her.

You do remember Whitewater, Monica, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and countless others.

Do you really want to invite that filth back into the White House?
