Here's when something will be done...
[Read the article: "Sicko"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...after the day comes when polaticians have their FREE FOR LIFE healthcare benefits cut off. Untill that happens they'll be delighted to fill their pockets with donations from the insurance companies, drug companies and medical organizations...and a big "fuck you" to the rest of us.

"a heart, enflamed with a desire to serve God"
[Read the article: "It is impossible to miss the discrimination against ... believers"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bow-chica-bow-bow
It sounds like bad porn. Why do all of these religious nuts phrase everything in such a lurid fashion? Its like they're so sexually repressed they turn their labidos to god
Of course a con man like Gingrich is just serving up the overheated Jesus stew to the braindead multitude. You know he doesn't believe a word of it. Neither does bush. Have you ever seen him sitting in church with that smirk on his face? Religious, my ass. He may have traded a scotch on the rocks for Jesus on the rocks, but now its just a cottage industry for him.
One day the "flock" will wake up and figure out Falwell, Haggerd, Robertson, Gingrich, Bush, etc. have taken them for a big fat ride. Then they'll...well they just turn to the next charletan ready to feed their bitterness and bigotry with another line of bullshit.

Write your representatives
[Read the article: Playing chicken]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wrote both of my senators (Durbin and Obama) as well as my congressman (Emanuel). They need to know the utter disgust being felt by the people who put them into office and expected more than licking George Bush's ass.
2008, I vote straight Green Party.

They lost me
[Read the article: Compromise or compromised?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I vote straight 3rd party from now on. they're no better than the Republicans, and in some ways, thier limp-dicked spinelessness makes them worse.
I have written my senators and representative (that's you Mr. emanuel) and told them they lost any future vote from me.
It really is time for a viable 3rd party.

I put weddings into the same category as...
[Read the article: The marriage industrial complex]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...friends asking me to help them move. I respond to both with "I'm sorry I'm busy that day."

The wedding is the public part, where their friends and neighbors get to view the couple
[Read the article: The marriage industrial complex]

[Read the article: Can Dems spin Iraq war cave-in as a victory?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and don't forget, they ALL take money from the same greedy mofo's who don't want the cash faucet called Iraq turned off. The Deomocrats can "Why I outta..." all they want, but they've been bought and paid for just like the Republicans. NO ONE is talking about that gargantuan embassy that is being built. We're there for a very, very long time. Make no mistake about it.

and just wait...
[Read the article: Clinton will still go to Iowa]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...until Clinton and Obama vote "yes" for the war spending bill. Edwards' poll numbers will go through the roof.

Fool me once...
[Read the article: Do Dems now share equal blame with Bush for Iraq? No]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They lost my trust, my respect AND my vote.
I've come to the conclusion that we have to let things get far worse before they'll get better. Iraq was THE issue in the 2006 elections. The Bush administration and the Republican Party's fear mongering fell on deaf ears, and the American people wanted a path out of this shamefull disaster. I don't think anyone expected a simple quick solution....but no one expected to be sold out. Its time to let the Republicans continue to trash this nation and let the Democarats whither and die on the vine. Time for something new to emerge, but it has to get worse. It will take time. $4 a gallon for gasoline and all I see is people driving around in their SUVs with the windows rolled up and the air conditioning on (on a lovely spring day). When the American people deserve something better it will happen. Unfortunately, with the state of our society this is exactly what we deserve.
From now on I vote straight third party. If it means a Republican win, so be it. The system is rotten to the core, and it needs to fall apart.
We're living through a dark age. Maybe we will re-emerge at some point all shiny and new, or maybe something will replace us completely. Either way, what we have now is unacceptable.

cowards
[Read the article: Biden alone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama and clinton both waited untill the the outcome was certain before casting their "votes." Neither spoke out against the bill with any conviction before the vote was taken.
I have already contacted Derbin and Emanuel's offices to inform them that I would not ever consider voting for them in the future (I had epressed my feeling to both of their offices earlier this week). I also told them to remove me from their mailing lists.
I'm only one vote, but its the only way I can hold them accountable.

"No doubt I will vote for whoever the Dems nominate"
[Read the article: Biden alone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's why we're in this mess. They're no better than the Republicans. I won't vote for either, and untill enough people do the same thing, we'll continue this downward slide.
There is no quick fix. If we want real change, we have to start the slow process now. Withold your vote from both corrupt parties.

"Talk to the hand girlfriend..."
[Read the article: A three-way presidential candidate catfight]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Notice, none of the the three offered the least insight to what they would do as president to bring this situation in Iraq to a conclusion. THAT would have been leadership.

You know there is something more important and more sacred than "the troops."
[Read the article: Dithering Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's the nation and principles it was founded on. "The troops" those brave people who willfully volunteered are unfortunately caught in the crossfire of this disaster, but the most important consideration must be what is best for the nation, not the troops. This war , this administration and its policies are destroying the fabric of the nation. Any decisions made to stop this fatal condition must be made with the vital interest of the nation as the focus. This is way beyond "the troops."
"Just watch, by fall the Republicans are going to be running scared and will have to answer for their support of one of the stupidest policies in American history."
Yeah, but there will be a whole lot of Democrats who better be running with them.
