TRUMP: Words and hypocrites

| November 2, 2016 9:00 PM

Having spent many years in the Navy, I can tell you that our so-called congressmen and senators are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. If any of them had served in the armed forces, I am sure that they at one time or another had a pin-up from Playboy magazine in their locker, like 90 percent of the GIs did. They cannot convince me that they have never said or done exactly what they are so upset about what Mr. Trump was supposed to have said. So to make themselves look like good little boys they find it easier to jump ship, rather than own up to being a man.

I am not saying sexual assault is OK, it’s not. I am saying that men do in fact talk like that, and I am sure that some women also do the same thing, admit it or not. Can you say the word “Chippendales?” I am really confused. Are we electing a person on words that upset a lot of folks, or are we electing a person that can handle the problems of our country, and believe me we have them. I have worked in a job in the service that handled highly classified information every day. I knew what it was, and I was just a sailor. So, it is OK for the Secretary of State to not know, but not me. If I had done what she has done, I would still be in prison, where she should be.

I am ashamed to say that I am a Republican who voted those turncoats into office. If she wins, you will get exactly what you have asked for.
