The Only Choice For Hillary
[Read the article: A voters guide to Hillary music]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When careful, stiff-as-a-board Hillary, (eyes widened, nodding slowly to let us know we were to have a bit of fun with this,) asked for suggestions from the slobbering masses for a theme song, the first one that popped into my mind was "The Bitch Is Back!"

Hardball? Hardly.
[Read the article: Ann Coulter gets what she deserves]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am bitterly disappointed in Chris Matthews and MSNBC for providing a platform for Ann Coulter. After listening to Elizabeth Edwards' calm invitation to Ms. Coulter to raise the level of political discourse, I am disappointed in my fellow voters for not recognizing that both John and Elizabeth Edwards are fine people. They certainly deserve better than the snide jokes about his hair, their home. We've not heard one word about his comprehensive health care plan or anything else substantive from the media. Just the usual bread and circuses.

Common Decency: How do you feel about it, Mr. Buchanan?
[Read the article: Bashing Elizabeth Edwards]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Please ask Mr. Buchanan to consider what effect his "good friend," Ann Coulter's hateful words and wild accusations doubtless have on the Edwards children. Common decency is a concept apparently foreign to Ms. Coulter. How does Mr. Buchanan feel about the Edwards children hearing this woman joking about their dead brother, hoping their father will be assasinated by terrorists, calling their father a "fag," to a laughing audience, etc., while their mother is fighting for her life? Does that bother him at all? It should.

Query
[Read the article: The pro-choice pirate]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does Ms. Gomperts, founder of the pro-abortion activist group, "Women on Waves," tell her clients about the physical and psychological risks associated with abortion? Does she take the time to carefully listen to them before aborting their children, to explore alternatives, to share with them ultrasound pictures of their living children and to discuss post-abortion syndrome? It seems to me that women contemplating such an important "choice" be given all possible information. No one, including Ms. Gomperts, would want these women to make anything less than a thoughtful, fully informed, careful decision.

On the other hand...
[Read the article: No visible panty lines]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course, the "Pure Fashion" ad sounds off-putting, but on the other hand, have you ever taken pre-teen and young teen-aged girls clothes shopping? Ever tried finding them a modest bathing suit?

You Didn't Mention The $5 Million Payoff
[Read the article: The ballad of Ramos and Compean]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You left out some information that infuriates those of us that have a big problem with the prosecution of these two border patrol agents.
The U.S. government went into Mexico to find the illegal alien drug dealer, who was attempting to bring yet more drugs into the U.S. They put him up in a luxury hotel here and pampered him at U.S. taxpayers' expense, to get him to testify against our own Border Patrol. He sued the U.S. government for his "pain and stress" to the tune of 5 million dollars and apparently got every penny. If this isn't outrageous, what is?
The drug dealer has been caught bringing drugs across the border since this case was decided, but has not been arrested nor prosecuted.
The border patrol agents have not been put into protected custody in prison, which is unusual, but have been cruelly allowed to be beaten severely and permanently injured by other prisoners who have been told that they were former border patrol agents.
Why is this illegal alien drug dealer being given such kid gloves treatment while our own border patrol agents are being singled out for such especially harsh, cruel punishment?

Query
[Read the article: Values voters rake the GOP over the coals]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why do none of your posters speak to the young lady who survived an attempted abortion? She was a human being at the time of her planned destruction. She is surely a human being now. She is entitled to the answers to her reasonable questions.
I am pro-life because it is a logical extension of a liberal philosophy. It is a civil rights issue. It must hurt to be aborted, dismembered, scalded.

"The Big Freeze" From Obama. Why?
[Read the article: Whither Edwards?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's been my impression that Hillary Clinton has personally reached out to Edwards, several times. Her campaign seems interested in more than an endorsement from him, but he's been repeatedly been trying to meet with Obama, and at best getting a decidedly cool reception. Wonder why?

A Real Gem
[Read the article: Is women's studies dead?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's been many, many years since my undergraduate days, but I remember my favorite class very well. It was a Women's Studies class, taught by the gifted and inspirational Sandra Dykstra at SDSU, that introduced me to wonderful, amazing writers that I wouldn't have learned about otherwise. True, I could have done very well without the inevitable "Rubyfruit Jungle," but all the other books were jewels. I treasured everything written by the incomparable Tillie Olsen, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Rebecca Harding Davis, Kate Chopin, Anzia Yezierskia, et al.
In those days, I was a young, single working mother of two children, going to school part time. I did not consider a Women's Studies major or minor, but this particular class was a real gem.
