Review and Comment

We often have noted that elections are referenda on incumbents' performance.

If they have performed satisfactorily and competently and continue to offer a governing philosophy that aligns with our nation's founding principles — that is, a defense of and promotion of our unalienable rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and freedom from the despotism of the tyrannical “state” — those candidates, in our view, deserve another term.

So block out the ads; turn off the TV and radio. Take the time to evaluate the performances of the candidates up for re-election and whether their opponents have demonstrated better competence and that their ideas will further or reduce your liberty. Who has more of what it takes to lead?
