How many times we have heard that actions speak louder than words?  The term is a well-known cultural phrase and platitude that gives higher importance to action over talk.

I am not defending Donald Trump for his words; I am simply stating the obvious.  Donald Trump has been in the public eye almost all of his life.  He has made many embarrassing statements in his time in the public arena.  There is nothing new here, either in the original Access Hollywood video or the apologetic video he recorded last night.

The same argument can be made for the Hillary speech dump.  Trump will have to live with everything that has been disclosed (good, bad, and ugly), just as Clinton has had to do.

Donald Trump said, "I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not."  Honestly, we all knew who Donald Trump was before he entered the race.

Macho male locker room talk is not illegal or criminal.  Trump is known to be an occasionally boorish man in private.  Hillary and her husband have been unindicted criminals for forty years.  Locker room talk, as much as it is distasteful, doesn't kill people.

I agree that actions speak louder than words.  It has been reported that Hillary got the rapist of a 12-year-old girl off and then gloated about it.  So here's the difference: Donald Trump has said awful things, but Hillary has done awful things.  I think what is more important in this election are jobs, the economy, national security, illegal immigration and open borders, the last of which Mrs. Clinton willingly advocates.

Let me disillusion some people.  Trump is not Jesus Christ.  He is not a flawless man.  He is a wheeler-dealer turned politician.  People of this land have a choice of a sort: Hillary or Trump.  Some say it is no choice.  Well, they can complain all they want to, but nothing will change.  Once again, it is decision time.  We do well to recognize that short-sighted people with short memories are prone to make terrible choices, even when they have the best of intentions.

The foremost topic on the mind of American voters is how to make America safe again.  Some believe that the Democrats can indeed be the answer.  Unfortunately, their answer most likely will be disastrous.

Faced with a ruthless enemy bent on your destruction, you either stand and fight or cut and run hoping that the enemy will not pursue you to your grave.  For the past 8 years, the policies of Obama and Clinton have been one failure after another.  The list of failures for this loser team is indeed long and glaring.

Here is partial list of Hillary Clinton's dirty laundry.  Of the two candidates running for president...

Only Hillary Clinton was caught lying to Congress.

Only Hillary Clinton got the rapist of a teenage girl off on rape charges then laughed about it.

Only Hillary Clinton lied to the American people about Benghazi.

Only Hillary Clinton lied to the American people about her emails.

Only Hillary Clinton lied about being under sniper fire.

Only Hillary Clinton was involved in "Cash Cow."

Only Hillary Clinton has a long list of scandals.

Only Hillary Clinton nationally belittled her husband's sexual harassment and rape accusers.

Only Hillary Clinton is a career politician.

Only Hillary Clinton will not release her speeches to Goldman Sachs and other banks.

Only Hillary Clinton is tied to Monsanto.

Only Hillary Clinton was labeled "extremely careless" about national security by the FBI.

Only Hillary Clinton said she will raise taxes on the middle class.

Only Hillary Clinton benefited from the DNC rigging an election.

Only Hillary Clinton had to return stolen items from the White House.

Only Hillary Clinton said the Benghazi victims' parents were lying.

Only Hillary Clinton wants you to vote for her based on her gender.

Only Hillary Clinton has been investigated by the FBI and found to have put national security at risk.

Only Hillary Clinton has had two or more movies and several documentaries made about her questionable ethics.

Only Hillary Clinton was called "Broomstick One" by the Secret Service.

Only Hillary Clinton made Congress and others spend millions and millions of tax dollars having hearings and investigating her to find that she lied, that would not have been spent if she would have simply told the truth in the first place.

Only Hillary Clinton has called half of the America people "deplorables" and "irredeemable."

Only Hillary Clinton has regularly cussed out and belittled her Secret Service detail.

Only Hillary Clinton, only Hillary Clinton, only Hillary Clinton over and over again.  Perhaps Trump can use some of these talking points on the next debate.

Folks, this election is not about Donald Trump.  This election is not about his debate performances or even what he says.  This election is about the future of America.  It is about the survival of America.  Mrs. Clinton has made a career out of corruption and crime and has been breaking the law since her work on the Watergate committee.  Everyone knows that.

American voters will have a choice to make in November – between change and the status quo.
