Letter: I did not vote

Ralph Roy Waggener writes:

I have always voted no matter what but this time I stayed away. The Republican voters had a choice, I did not. President Obama or Mitt Romney: what difference does it make?

Whoever wins will be beholden to the money that pays for their campaigns. I did not know anything about the one other choice enough to make a decision. I could have voted for Obama or the other choice of undecided, but I really had no opinion between these two choices.

I felt that there was nothing on the ballot that was worth stating a vote for. I felt more patriotic this time by not voting than voting, don't know if that makes much sense but that's the way I feel about this presidential election. Obama or Romney - etiher vote would be wrong in my book! - Ralph Roy Waggener

Services are at 1pmCT, Thursday, May 24, 2012, at Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home, 210 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY
He was a quiet, strong man, whose heroism in War War II was too little realized until his death on Tuesday. An obituary was posted Tuesday night. It remains online, but last evening the one which follows was posted by Campbellsville University and last evening Richard Phelps and Louis McQueary sent it to us. We are posting it, additionally. It is a more eloquent, more detailed statement of the life of this Adair County Hero, more fitting for the temper of this Memorial Day period. -EW

James Nolan Cundiff of Summit Manor Nursing and Rehab Center passed into the presence of the Lord May 22, 2012 this following several years of illness and complications from diabetes. He was 89 years and 9 months old.
