Dear Editor:
“There are no saints in hell, but there are plenty devils in heaven.”
In response to the many rabid calls for the immediate resignation, removal or forced ejection from office of Governor James E. McGreevey I suggest we focus on the facts and not fabricate this situation to fit one’s political party bias or underlying fear of the borderless boundaries of sexuality.
This Governor has made many serious errors in his choice of key personnel. The most notable was his initial choice for homeland security chief. Surely one cannot help but question his decision to have focused more on a particular person for this job than to look at the past performance and skills to determine the best person to do this job. However, the Governor’s underlying character is not too far a field from what has become the “self-serving” character trait of elected officials.
An adjacent state’s former governor renovated homes and took large financial gifts. The nation’s most senior office holder took what was a despicable act and placed a spin on it so to remove a “family enemy,” provide an opportunity for friends to obtain easy access to a valuable resource and billion dollar “restoration contracts,” and in this process has led others to injure and kill thousands in the name of “democracy.” We need to “open our eyes” to the facts. Looking at these political eruptions in the dichotomy of parties, only further guarantees that each election day we will be setting-up the scene for the next disappointing act.
When looking at issues join the right and left eyes together and look at the deeper meaning and search for the real truth (it’s not too hard to do, just turn-off the television and demand more enlightened media choices.) There are no saints in hell, but there are plenty devils in heaven. Be an individual. Leave the political babble and “moral indignation” aside and judge the situation for what it is.
