Misplaced party loyalty

I don’t know if it’s my age or the history that I have studied, but politicians have made some disturbing statements during recent interviews.

Many of the politicians appear to regard party loyalty to be more important than the issues and what is best for the country.

I keep flashing back to the Nazi Party and the Communist Party and the results of that came from following them whether they were right or wrong.

It scares me to think Americans are following in these same footsteps. We need someone who doesn’t place the party above God and country.

David Anderson,
