Did you read the cartoon? Do you remember what party FDR was? It was different under FDR. FDR was a democrat. It would be different under a democrat. Wow. That was hard to follow.

The Congress had enough on Reagan with Iran Contra to impeach. But "the country couldn't take another Watergate." Thus the republicans, in particular a young Congressman named Cheney learned that the Democrats would never impeach a Republican. Now impeachment is off the table and there are no watchmen in the night.

You wanna address racial inequality in this country? Use the FDR solution. Re-direct the countries energies away from wars and towards public works projects staffed by public employees. Turn all that money we piss away on Pentagon projects that don't work, missile defense I am looking at you. Turn that money towards massive infastructure improvments. Slant the hiring towards hiring poor / disadvantaged people from the inner cities, instead of farming the work out to Blackwater (LULZ). Putting people to work to build economic improving infrastructure will address most of these race problems along the way. Talking about racial economic inequality is good but if you want to address it you need public intervention in the economy.

Then get the civil rights division of the department of justice working again. Seriously. Didn't they only bring 2 lawsuits on behalf of black people in 7 years or something? Useless.

Romney has now ended his campaign. He admitted fault, something no Republican can do and expect support from their party. By firing his gardeners, he now acknowledges that he knew they were illegal immigrants. Every suspicion is now confirmed. He should have continued to obfuscate and spin around the issue. If he had, Republicans would have stood with him, as evidenced by 7 years of Bushco. When the debates continue and the question of who hates brown people more comes up, Romney is dog meat. He should save himself some of his own money and withdraw from the race.

JFK stood up for separation of church and state. If Clinton said that, she would be excoriated. How did it happen? How did Bush, Huckabee, and the whole GOP get away with taking the separation of church and state off the table? I know Salonistas would back Clinton if she said, "I stand up for separation of church and state." But she would be accused of being an atheist on the spot, and all her years of church going would be declared void.

Haven't we learned anything from McCain2000 Kerry2004 ? When a person says who they think is most electibile, what the hell do they base that conclusion on? "Uhhh, I think most people will vote for person X." That is pure speculation! No one can reliabaly speak for what others will do, even if you gather up a few thousand people they still have no idea what anyone else will vote for.

Head to head matchups speak loud and clear. A polled person in a head to head matchup has to make a decision for themselves, instead of speculating about how others will vote. A person knows how he himself will vote, most of the time. However, only the chattering pundit class assumes they can guess how others will vote. Do you recall how inevitable Romney was in Iowa? Do you recall how inevitable Guiliani was in SC? Huckabee is beating them both in both states now. Even people who get paid to speculate about how other people will vote are usually wrong. So I see no reason to take these "electibility" polls seriously.

I say this and prompt laughter but I am convinced that turning Jerusalem into a UN stateless zone would be the best guarantor of peace. There are three major religions with holy stuff there, and if any one religion owns it the other two get pissed. So, like King Solomon, we take the city from all. We put the new UN building there, and use foreign troops to secure the place. Then everyone can worship their religion there, but no one can own it. I think it would be a good way for the UN to resolve the mess it made by moving the Jews there post WWII.

Seriously. Sometimes I wonder why I argue with free market religion types and you just reminded me why. Making people suffer for the short term in order to "save" them as the Phoenix Squads did really is crap. Man it would be great if one day, we have an executive that firmly denounces what ever other executive since FDR did before him. And then that executive stopped doing that torture bullshit. Man that would be great. I would hang flags over everything I own. I think all the other countries would hang up our flag as well.

That there is a "Charlie Wilson's War" advertisement above your article makes it that much better. Nothing like glamorizing handing the highest tech weapons in the world to the same guys that try and succeed in blowing up the WTC in the name of free market capitalism! Look at how sexy, and charming Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are as they had weapons to Tim Osman (Bin Laden's old code name). We should all give a rousing cheer to those counter terrorists we arm, and all the great things they do. Like bringing us the Taliban, WTC 1993, WTC 2001 (because we didn't learn the first time), The Afghanistan Wars, The Crack Wave (Nicaragua), Plan Columbia, and who can forget Pinochet?

Who are these Bush Enablers working for? I don't get it. Republicans hate them more than Judas. Listen to what Limbaugh says about Harry Reid. So ... is it just corporate ties? Big money interests? Or is it really just a shallow media centric ego fest where we have Dem leaders pandering to the Joe Kleins of the world?

SEE THAT BUSH? Iran is not the leading exporter of terror. The terrorists want to ATTACK Iran! All the Jihadists are confused as to why there aren't more terror Ops in Iran.
