    It does not matter what they believe. It matters what they can sell to 45-48% of the voters. Don't be shocked when/if the calls for Obama's impeachment start on January 21 and persist to the last day of his first term. Don't be shocked when/if GOP tactics make McCain's campaign look clean in comparison. You do realize you've just handed a Billion dollars to Fox and Hate Radio who will now spend every second of every minute of every hour of every day screaming that President Dredlock Osama is a Muslim communist terrorist who will smoke crack with Satan from pipes made of the bones of aborted white Christian children, don't you?

  • There's a good case to be made to not appoint a banker

    [Read the article: The Treasury secretary sweepstakes]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Geithner is a banker. That's what bankers do. The Treasury secy has a entirely different role and scope of responsibilities. We really don't need two Fed Chairmen at the helm, do we? Also while Geithner may have spoken out in the past, in his role as NY Fed Gov, he has had a deep and wide role in this financial mess. He's lent his organization to offering up cheap almost free debt for years. THAT apparently didn't stick in his craw.

  • We said this two weeks ago.

    [Read the article: Sarah Palin, Alaska's next senator?]

    This isn't news, this is what the smart money says.

  • Obama will find that no one there really knows what's been going on

    [Read the article: Team Obama plays nice with Bush White House]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The White House has been on cruise control for more than a year. I'd be shocked if Bush shows up to work 3 days a week.

  • An that goes double for airlines, steel companies too

    [Read the article: Is Detroit worth saving?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If we bailout car companies then the line of people with their hat in their hand will never end. Airlines, steel, chemicals, drugs and the homebuilders will all be lined up around the White House. And each of every single one of them should be allowed to fail for their failures. If that means 50% unemployment and the nationalization of every single industry in America then so be it.

  • It's not the crime it's the coverup

    [Read the article: Foley: "I'm trying to find my way back"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's not even the coverup it's the hypocrisy. If it were Kwame Kilpatrick having an affair with a woman, the real crime is still the coverup, the lying and the threats of retaliation. No one really cares whose slot-b your tab-a goes into. But if you preach about it don't expect to throw yourself on the mercy of the court. It's a very small target.

  • Living wills, medical proxies, probate court

    [Read the article: "It's about the human heart"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Family court, adoption, life insurance, DNR orders, mortgages, custody agreements, power of attorney, hospice care........

    That's what this is about. Nothing more nothing less.

  • It sounds like a FEMA trailer

    [Read the article: Victoria's secret: Formaldehyde?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Oh wait, one of those things is bad and the other is foolish.

  • That's nothing compared to Obama's possible pick for AG.

  • The Sandwich Generation will be crushed

    [Read the article: She has Alzheimer's and I don't want to care for her]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The boomers who are now taking care of their parent and their children will soon be crushed. Then who will you blame for everything?

  • Will it get me better service at restaurants?

    [Read the article: Wow! America is cool]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    If so, wonderful. If not, I really don't care what complete strangers in far away places think. Since 95% of the world has never met an American or someone who has, what they feel is besides the point. Maybe they think we don't have horns and worship Muslim Satan anymore. Ok, so there's that.

  • Are not these the very same Union workers you had nothing but praise for YESTERDAY?

    [Read the article: Is Detroit worth saving?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I have to wonder what you plan to do with a million out of work people who YOU claim helped elect Obama? Sometimes bailouts are nothing but social and political jobs programs. Let's not be too hasty to toss out that option just yet. If the price of that is a few overpaid executives and some Soviet era cheap shoddy cars no one REALLY wants, then so what?

  • You miss the wider deeper point

    [Read the article: Palin vs. Couric]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Palin is the New Hottie of the GOP BECAUSE she's a dolt, not in spite of it. That's what real populism is. The belief that any ignorant dunderhead can do as good or better a job as 'those people'. Where do you think fascism originates?

  • Let's all get naked

    [Read the article: From "terror sex" to hope sex]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    then we will be uber super mega ultra cool to the world.

  • Does Salon do anything

    [Read the article: Barone: Media mad that Palin didn't have an abortion]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Other than boomerang insults back at other worthless 'pundits'. Seriously, do you people sit around the staff meeting table once a week and pencil in all the stupid ass stories you plan to cover all at once or do you take it one day at a time? Who cares what retards like Barone say?

  • Let them fail and don't replace them

    [Read the article: Is Detroit worth saving?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Place an absolute cap on the # of vehicles permitted to be owned in the US and place a rationing system on the quantity of fuel Americans are permitted to purchase. Then cut road funding by 10%/year for a decade. People who aren't forced into moving into the cities are on their own.

  • No student loans aren't useful for the most part

    [Read the article: Henry Paulson has a brand-new plan]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    We don't need all those millions of backwards hat wearing losers taking up space in colleges EXCEPT as a form of subsidizing the people who do need to be there. Cutting student loans by 75% minimum is a good start. It's the only way to control the endless spiral of price increases.

  • He must be impeached

    [Read the article: Save Lieberman!]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Convicted, put on trial and sent to prison, at a minimum. I for one would be happy if Congress cancelled the seats of the GOP seat holders and threw them out of Congress outright.

  • Is there a way to 'close' Congress?

    [Read the article: The Democrats of 2002 and 2007 haven't gone anywhere]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Someone should be looking into what real penalities can be levied against Congress for this. In other countries the duly elected leader closes the Parliament and disbands it should the emergency arise. That may be something we need to look into. All those Democratic seats seems to have been wasted.

  • This is my 5th or 6th end of the world

    [Read the article: Unemployment meteor threatens planet]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    So you'll excuse me if I don't jump off the roof.

  • So what is Dollar General's reason

    [Read the article: The Wal-Mart trade deficit]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    DG and Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, etc often have lower prices than Wal*Mart. They don't have anywhere near the weight to throw around. So it's often not a simple matter of size.

  • I was there just today

    [Read the article: The Wal-Mart trade deficit]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    No Satanic crack babies jumped out at me. I rather like their $4 generic prescription plan. It's way cheaper than my employer's Medco mail order plan. In fact if Wal*Mart provided health care like my doctor or my dentist, I'd jump at it. I just spent almost $1000 on a crown - and that's my portion of it after my oh so generous 30% coverage from the plan I pay for.

  • You're really going to bang this into the ground aren't you

    [Read the article: Stuff white people like: John McCain]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    You Do Know that even Comedy Central is starting to poke fun at this whole "Black is the New Master Race" thing, don't you?
