  • The Sophisticated American Electorate

    [Read the article: Rush Limbaugh was right]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    This is the electorate so sophisticated that they permitted Bush to steal an election in 2000.

    This is an electorate so sophisticated, that a majority believed Sadam Hussien had a part in 9/11, and a sizable minority still believes that.

    This is an electorate so sophisticated that they actually elected Bush in 2004, many believing they were re-electing him.

    This is an electorate so sophisticated that at times in the past 8 years a majority have supported government torture and the imprisonment of hundreds of people without trial.

    This is an electorate so sophisticated that the media attention over a magazine cover will reinforce their notion that the Democratic candidate is a Muslim radical.

  • Sadly for Biden, the Palestinians Don't Count

    [Read the article: What makes Biden Biden?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's a shame that Biden's moral backbone turns to rubber when he faces the reality of Israeli apartheid and Israel's ongoing illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

    But then he knows he'll never lose a vote for having the 'guts' to speak harshly to a flake like Gadhafi, or for having the moral purity to take his sons to Dachau.

    It's a very different matter to speak the truth about Palestine.

    The moral?

    Be brave, outspoken and moral, but not if it endangers your campaign funding and your standing in the media.

  • Because Dems Are Too Nice (And it's Going to Cost Them Again!)

    [Read the article: MIA at convention: Anti-Bush swag ]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Because the stupid fuckwitted Dems think you can win elections by being nice and being positive.

    Talking about being born to lose.

    Instead they should be going on and on about King Dipshit and his butt buddy John McSame and keep quoting McSame in all his ass-licking glory in praise of the great King Dipshit himself.

    But that would be 'taking the low road' and 'engaging in gutter politics.'

    Honestly, what is it with the Dems?

    The American people gave them the keys to Congress and they turned it into King Dipshit's rubber stamp.

    Now the people are desperate to get rid of King Dipshit, but the Dems are being ever so shy and nice and cute that McSame might even end up with the keys to the castle himself.

    Sometimes I think Dems enjoy losing, or more charitably, King Dipshit's theft of the election in 2000 has left permanent and very serious psychological scars.

  • Don't Mention Duel Loyalty!

    [Read the article: "I find her offensive"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Of course statements like this:

    "...that's how these people feel about Israel, it's like their child."

    Have absolutely nothing to do with the taboo subject of duel loyalty.
