| Dr. Jill and Joe Biden hosting their biggest donors. |
I heard on the news that Joe Biden's reelection campaign raised $42 million just in the month of January. That's crazy talk! Who is throwing money at an 81-year-old man with a failing memory, increasing dementia and long a history of illegal activities and outright lies so he can be our president? And what is that money being used for? TV commercials denigrating the opposition and billboards, lawn signs, bumper stickers, buttons and pamphlets featuring Joe's creepy, crepey face. Not to mention all those lattes, pizzas and hotel rooms for the staff. And if you write a big enough check, maybe you'll get a fancy dinner at the White House with Joe and Dr. Jill.
There are countless better ways to spend my money, and anyone else's too. Like food for the poor, homeless shelters, and blah, blah, blah -- you know the rest. Politics these days is a hideous waste of money in light of how many Americans are standing on street corners holding signs that read, "hungry, anything helps."
Imagine if a candidate said, "Donate to my campaign and I will give it to the following causes," listing things like the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and so many others. That candidate would have my vote, regardless of party. But no such candidate exists in what has become a reality show where the poorest candidate gets voted off the island. I am old enough to remember when the issues facing the country were what mattered, not the size of a candidate's war chest.
