It's "rum, romeism"
[Read the article: Rum, Romanism and James Carville]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Shapiro misquoted the old republican attack line by Blaine against the Democrats, which referred to the Donkeys as the party "of rum, romeism, and rebellion". Misquoting a quote fits well with this article, however, which is a little "off".
General McPeak deserved at least censure and ridicule for comparing Bill Clinton to "McCarthy", for Clinton's very mild criticism of Barack Obama. Nothing Clinton has said about Obama is out of line.
On the other hand, Samantha's calling Hillary Clinton a "monster" was definitely past the boundaries. So was Henninger's article claiming that "surrogate attacks" on Obama were all orchestrated by leaders in the campaign. Since that article, many pro-Obama posters on the net have spread that accusation. I think Geraldine Farrarro decided on her own to state Barack Obama is where he is today beause of his race. It is the truth and Ferrarro should be commended--not attacked--for stating a simple fact.
I'm certainly no fan of Carville, but it is also a fact that Richardson shows all the characteristics of an ingrate for his strong public endorsement of Obama after his long associaition with the family. Did VP ambitions make Richards on do it, or merely a cabinet post, perhaps?
I have never seen such blatant, unquestioning media support for a Presidential candidate as the media has shown for Barack Obama. It is the best measure of the extent to which the corrosive and sinister Cultural Revolution/Political Correctness hysteria has taken control of American Society.

[Read the article: Hillary's team crosses the line]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Am I take Mr. Conason's article as another media advertisement for Barack Obama? Sure reads like it.

On Nafta, Clinton and Obama differ
[Read the article: Hillary's team crosses the line]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There were differences in the Clinton Camp over NAFTA in 1992-93. I think I read at the time that Begala opposed the treaty, but I didn't know until just reading that Hillary Clinton privately opposed it then. So it is not at all odd that Hillary Clinton would oppose this terrible policy.
Barack supported NAFTA until when, March? Then he took a position similar to Clinton's publicly. But he sent a staff member to Canada to reassure the Canadians that his campaign position didn't mean anything.
Obama's appears to favor NAFTA, but to criticise it in public. Doesn't sound or look or smell like a campaign of idealism and non-political tactics to me. MOre like Chicago Daley style tactics.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your posts Lies; Lies II; and Liesiii, are great. The truth will set the nation free of an Obama Presidency, let's hope.

Don't do it John!
[Read the article: Why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't know why John Edwards hasn't endorsed Barack Obama, but I sure am glad as hell he has refrained from doing so. Barack Obama is the worst candidate among a trio of contenders for the presidency.

McCain thinks, once we're in, we have to stay.
[Read the article: McCain's Vietnam obsession]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If McCain had his way, the US would still be in Vietnam, and I am happy to see an article on that central theme in his mind.
McCain is the last person in public life, so far as I can tell, who maintains a WWII/Cold War mentality. I think it will become more appaent during the remainder of the campaign. That mindset alone is enough to disqualify McCain for the office of President. We were wrong to go into Vietnam: We were right to leave Vietnam.
Vietnam taught us a couple things the WWII/Cold War generation believed in were wrong. Vietnam proved that we cannot be the world's policeman. Vietnam proved the basic justification for the Vietnam-"The Domino Theory" was wrong. Like "Weapons of Mass Destruction" were in Iraq were. And, the Vietnam War ended the draft. McCain (and maybe Obama) wants to bring back the draft.
Like fellow conservative Ann Coulter said, Hillary Clinton is the best candidate among the wretched choices we are left with.

Why are americans ready for a black president?
[Read the article: Americans more ready for a black president than a woman?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think a number of factors have increased the acceptance of a Black individual as President by the general public. Particularly among people under 35, the selling of urban black street "culture" in the form of Rap and Hip Hop music, style, and behavior has had a tremendous influence, and the drug dealers are usually black, too.
But the greatest influence has been the rise of the socio/political hysteria descended from Mao's Cultural Revolution we call Political Correctness and the myriad influence its manifestations have had on our nation since the 1980s.
To a substantial degree, I think people embrace the notion of Barack Obama for President primarily because of those influences: they do not want to be percieved as "racists", and supporting Obama is a way to prove they are "post-racial". Something Barack Obama clearly is not. Race is the subtext of Obama's campaign, period.

Suspended Animation?
[Read the article: Barack Obama in suspended animation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So were Lenin and his 121 marxist henchmen in the sealed train hurtling from Berlin to Russia before they were unleashed on the world in 1917. They prevailed, to the misery of Russia and the world for almost a century.
Hillary is the only hope to stave off the programmatic and pragmatic descendants of the zealot Obama crew, while its pied pipered victims anxiously await the train's arrival in Denver and Republicans cheer Obama on as his train runs down the heroic but harried Clinton.
I truly wonder how Republicans are going to feel when the Obama special leaves Denver and does to McCain what it is now doing to Hillary Clinton. A lot like the Germans after the Bolsheviks took over Russia and killed their German engineers along with the imperial family. Too late to worry then, McCain.

Oboma is no libertarian
[Read the article: Is Barack Obama a libertarian paternalist?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Libertarians believe in individual liberty and few government restraints.
Barack Obama is a marxist. He believes in equality--created an enforced by Government.
Are these nuts at the UofC Obama supporters trying to confuse imagery, sell illusions and falsehoods. It's the marxist thing to do. Saul Alinsky encouraged it.
