Thanks for the hardy few

These letters in “letters to the editor” with personal attacks on people running for public office are a classic example of the “tall poppy” syndrome — anyone who sticks their head above the crowd deserves to have it chopped off.

So thank God there are a few hardy souls who stand out anyway and will run for a public office.

I find it sad that supporters of one candidate have to resort to innuendo and false accusations to get a candidate elected. Remember, when you point one finger forward there are three pointing at you, especially when you have not been involved.

Thanks to anyone who is willing to stick their head above the crowd and cope with personal attack and innuendo.

I work and shop in Wasilla and if I could vote, I would vote for Marty Metiva.
