Why do boomers hate America?
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Clinton-Bush attacks on the constitution, the sending of the young off to die in Iraq for the boomers political gratification--is it really about GOP versus the Democrats?
What is it about the boomers that make them want to trash every process, every institution, and blot the future for their own petty political gains?
Why are we even still talking about Clinton winning? If the situation were reversed, Obama would have had to concede long ago.
I'm not scared of 527s. I fear that Bush-Clinton-McCainism will continue to destroy our democratic traditions and trash our collective future.

@WES She "Is simply teaching the democratic party how to fight."
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yeah, like the sign said, "mission accomplished."

@WES Yeah, because none of us want hope or change....
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"It's not ending it's just the beginning....Even if Obama wins the nomination and miraculously wins the general and then his hope and change thingy falls flat on it's face, Hillary will come after him, the sitting president, again in the 2012 primary."
And what will Hillary do with her power, if not change us from the course of war and destruction that she and Bush set us upon? We should just bow down to Clinton now since she and her nasty worldview will ultimately triumph anyway?
And I thought I was cynical.

Democracy is not leftist.
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Constitution is not leftist.
The Bill of Rights is not leftist.
Sane international policy is not leftist.
Clinton and W.E.S. despise American values, not leftism.

"For the most part, she made very little money compared to her potential in the marketplace"
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Hillary Clinton]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Clintons have made over $30 million dollars in the past eight years. Not chump change. Clinton loaned her campaign $5 million dollars.
Voting for the Patirot Act and wearing a flag lapel pin do not equal patriot.

Why do the media use the word "misstatements"?
[Read the article: Clinton: Wright "would not have been my pastor"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think it's possible to misstate a fact or a misspeak, in the sense that you meant to tell the truth but you slipped up. Like, saying "red" if you mean "blue" just because red happened to be in your mind.
I also can understand that CANDIDATES might misuse the word misstate when they falsely state facts.
But why do the MEDIA use the term misstate or misspoke when politicians speak falsely, particularly after they admit to speaking falsely. That's a corruption of the language. Maybe Clinton misremembered, or more likely, she lied, but she spoke falsely. She did not misstate or misspeak.

Walsh reminds me of Rumsfeld
[Read the article: How the long primary battle helps Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Remember those surreal press conferences where Rummy claimed chaos was good sign for Iraqi democracy?
The point at which the contest helped strengthen the party is past. Clinton can't win without undermining the legitimate candidate and the democratic process.
Next up: Walsh promotes a "light footprint" in the general election!

The primary "battle" and the real battles in Iraq
[Read the article: How the long primary battle helps Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Walsh is of course shilling for Clinton, and that's her right.
What bothers me is Walsh and Clinton's callousness toward our soldiers. The upcoming war votes are going to be politicized not just between the Democrats and Republicans--which could actually lead to more carefully considered policy--but within the Democratic party. And I suspect that may be a disaster.
We already know that Clinton is willing to send soldiers to be killed to increase her political viability (not to mention Iraqi men, women, and children). I shudder to consider how she will calculate her votes this summer.
Maybe it's just part of her plan to edge out Obama--use his conscience against him.

Seeing Koppelman's face helped me understand this complex issue.
[Read the article: Can the president order state judges around?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But not as much as the ad with the hot chick in the hotel room that played first.
