Naughty Nicole: An Open Letter to the Presidential Nominees Renegade Talk Radio Atlanta

Dear Presidential Nominees:
For the past few months I’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching the circus that is the Presidential race. In years past, this circus was entertaining, but by the time it came down to the wire we’d figure out who the leaders were and weeded out all the rest. The major parties, Republican and Democrat, have always been easy to identify. Republicans (the Right) are normally conservative, oppose gay marriage and abortion and promote the right of gun ownership. Democrats (the Left) on the other hand are liberal, they strive to be more inclusive of all viewpoints, they believe in gay and women’s rights, and feel American’s know best how to spend their money. But with changing times and blurred lines between the established parties there are new parties: the Independent. The Independent party started as a far right party and is often misidentified as a middle-ground of both major parties – which it usually isn’t. And then there’s the tea party – and I won’t even bother with them simply because I haven’t quite figured out where they stand on anything, and ironically, I’m not sure they’ve figured it out either, which is why most Americans don’t take them too seriously.

But here we are down to the wire, and I feel compelled to say something… something I think most Americans are thinking or feeling, and maybe we haven’t made it clear to the two of you: so allow me the opportunity to clear this up. We’re tired, oh so very tired. Of what, you may say? Well, you name it, and we’re tired of it. We’re tired of the mud-slinging and the name-calling; we’re tired of the promises and flat-out lies that you tell to garner our favor; we’re tired of the constant assaults on our senses; but most of all, we’re tired of each of you tearing down your opponent in order to win. Not once in this election season have I heard something even remotely like “here’s what my plan for will do for you and your family.” Just once Americans deserve a Presidential nominee that we have longed for; one that stands up and clearly says, here’s what I think you and your family need, here’s how I plan to do it, and here’s how it will affect you. Someone who isn’t interested in things that have happened in the past or how someone’s career up to that point has eliminated them as “Presidential” – quite succinctly, neither of you are Presidential in my book.
