Clinton will not change the political culture

Sadly, the deterioration in our country's political system continues at an increasing rate.

The failure of the VA to provide our veterans with proper care; the Supreme Court's politicizing of decisions rather than deciding based on the Constitution; the IRS attack on those they politically oppose; the FBI's very questionable decision on Hillary's actions; the blatant disregard of laws by the president and his attorney general because they don't agree with them; the unabated invasion of illegal immigrants; the targeting of businesses with a preponderance of new laws and regulations that has hurt economic growth and pushed more people onto the roles of the unemployed; and, the complete lack of foreign policy that pleases our adversaries and leaves our allies wondering.

Into this picture of incompetence comes a candidate who, given her background of lies, deceit, corruption and poor judgment believes she can con the American voters into making her our next president. She is counting on people who are not aware of her record of corruption dating back to when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas and her pattern of lies and deceit, which has become her trademark.

This election is not a popularity contest. We desperately need to change the Washington culture and Hillary Clinton is not the one who can or would to do it.
