So Tell Me.

[Editorial]

On the way home from a friends house in Massachusetts up near the New Hampshire boarder a campaign ads for Nikki Haley caught my attention.

Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign is launching its first ad of the GOP primary on Friday, highlighting “chaos in our streets” and calling for a president with “moral clarity.”

What caught my ear was…

“A president must have moral clarity and know the difference between good and evil,” Haley says in the ad. “Today, China, Russia, and Iran are advancing. There’s chaos in our streets and college campuses. Our security is threatened at home and abroad.”

[…]

“It’s time for a new generation of conservative leadership,” Haley says in the ad. “We have to leave behind the chaos and drama of the past and strengthen our country, our pride, and our purpose.”

She goes on to say what she feels is wrong with the country.

The reason why I am writing this is that almost all the ads for both sides just talk the negatives things “wrong” with this country and the other party. But… but… nothing is said on how they are going to correct these problems.

So tell me Gov. Haley how are you going to fix all the things that you mentioned?

• How are you going to fix inflation?
• How are you going to lower the high price of gas?
• How are you going to lower the high food prices?
• How are you going to end the Ukraine war?
• How are you going to end the Hamas – Israeli war?
• How are you going to end the immigration on our southern boarder?
• How are you going to deal with China, Russia, and Iran?

And tell me how are you going to deal with what you didn’t mention? Topics like…

• Abortion?
• LGBTQ+ people?
• The crumbling bridges?
• Lead in our water supply?
• Our antiquated electric grid?
• Lack of affordable housing?
• What about people who suffers from food insecurity?

She is not the only candidate who avoids telling us how they going to fix things, both parties are good at avoiding that. They are good at slinging mud at each other but short on fixes.

Since they don’t want to talk about what they are planning it is up to us, the voter, to look into their history. How did the vote on abortion? How did they vote on LGBTQ+ issues? How did they to fix the aging highways and bridges? How did they vote on issues important to you?

Voting is not an armchair sport, to be a responsible voter you have to look beyond the rhetoric and look into what they did while in office.
