Your endorsement of Mike Rogers for Congress is a good example of the irrational, spineless voting decisions that have put this country in the mess we find ourselves.

While admitting you strongly disagree with some of his politics, you degrade one of his opponents, Bob Alexander, for legitimately questioning Rogers' record. You supported what little was said about Mr. Alexander's positions on the issues, and nothing was said about my positions, on which there was little disagreement.

To endorse someone because they "are the only viable candidate" is not only cowardly and unpatriotic, but defeats the purpose of elections, which is to find the best candidate for the job. You may as well just endorse the candidates who are leading in the polls.

As a popular saying goes, I would rather vote for something I want and not get it than vote for something I don't want and get it.

You have set a poor example for your readers, and I hope you consider your endorsements more carefully in the future.
