Doyle McManus: Biden needs to get off his duff and campaign more

There are approximately two months until election day, and we will be inundated with political ads. Ads full of lies and half truths. There will not be any ads promoting what the candidates did or will do to help our country but rather how much worse my opponent is than me.
				It is too late for this election, but this country must enact constitutional laws, on both, the national and state levels to: 1.immediately remove an incumbent from office if caught in lies and 2. the immediate removal from the ballot a challenger who does the same.
				When discussing politics with family and friends on both sides of the political spectrum, we don&rsquo;t discuss the virtues and accomplishments of our candidate but rather throw out how much worse your candidate is than mine. We haven&rsquo;t voted for the best candidate in ages because they don&rsquo;t exist.
				One illustration especially in our area has to do with &ldquo;saving social security.&rdquo; Every candidate will talk about saving social security. They have to save it. Where else are going to keep borrowing the money to cover, rather increase, the deficit?
				Why has our country come to this point? Very simply, if a candidate lies to get into office why should he/she change once there? If we don&rsquo;t change the election process and how we allow candidates to campaign, then both parties will be entirely correct when they contend that each is going to be responsible for the death of democracy and the United States as we know it.
				As a proud Vietnam Veteran, I served my country when asked. Looking at the country now, I&rsquo;m wondering why I did serve.
