Two boys gave Mrs. Odette Moore, Kennewick, a leaflet advising her to vote the Democratic slate. "The Republicans hired us too and they're just as good," the boys told Mrs. Moore, "but the Democrats pay more so we just threw the Republican leaflets in the creek."

Millionaires in Congress
Millionaires in Congress
Don Clark (Letters, Oct. 16) wrote, "Anyone who champions tax cuts for the rich ... is seeking to create an aristocracy based on bloodlines ... We need to remove them (Republicans/wealthy owners) from our political system."
The editorial cartoon Oct. 20 depicted the Democratic donkey (jackass?) supporting "BBQ the Rich."
The letter and cartoon caused me to conclude that only Republicans are assumed to be the rich in our country. That conclusion is a stretch, at least when applied to Congress. Of the 535 members of Congress, 261 are millionaires -- 40 in the Senate and 221 in the House. The distribution of the top 10 millionaires in the Senate and House is five Republicans to five Democrats and four Republicans and six Democrats, respectively. Additionally, though it cannot be confirmed, there are probably more Democratic millionaires than Republican in the U.S.
Disgraceful behavior
Disgraceful behavior
At a recent debate of Republican presidential candidates, a soldier serving in Iraq who posed a question via video was loudly booed by the audience.
An American soldier serving in a combat zone, who is putting his life on the line every day for our freedom, was booed by an audience of Republicans.
This behavior is beneath contempt. Even further beneath contempt is the fact that not one of the Republican candidates seeking the position of commander-in-chief of our Armed Forces stepped up to defend this American hero. That's just disgraceful.
