Right and left are both equally guilty of corruption

I’m writing in response to the opinion published in the Nov 22 edition by Tom H. Hastings, “If you want to find corruption, just look to the right.”

I also grew up thinking that politics was a clean game. I’ve discovered it isn’t and it’s tainted on both sides, not just the right.

I am an independent voter and have voted both sides in many elections. But I was offended by the assumptions that any voter that didn’t vote Democratic was supporting sleaze, lies and corruption. Have you even looked at the corruption that has happened in both parties? It’s pretty even-Steven.

Everyone has a right to choose. If your party loses, quit whining. Take the high road to make a difference.

You have a Ph.D., name calling and accusations about people that voted differently than you puts you in the same category as your so-called ignorant, charlatan-Donald Trump. And this kind of response doesn’t look good on anyone.
