Had Obama been caught in a lie of this magnitude, his campaign might well be over.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Maybe you and Ferraro and others of your wrinkled, dishonest ilk have to lie to yourselves these days in order to do what you are doing.
I take offense at your characterizing wrinkled folks as dishonest. Many of the best among us are grannies for Obama, black, white, all. Otherwise, your comments are spot on.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Notice how quickly the male species want to appropriate odog as one of their own. No dice you alpha, rambunctious, leg up on the hydrant pissing dogs. The he is a she, not in drag, but in full blue dog democrat hysteria, lest these uppity colored boys start kissing our lily white lasses again, and they will once again force us to lynch them for these horrific crimes.

With the kind of morals you have, you will only come back with a new handle and the same tired shit.

I have not a humorous bone in my body. Why would I be trading verbiage with you if I had any humor?

Why the Clintons are courting McCain
[Read the article: Moving beyond Obama and race]

What Mr. McCain almost never mentions are two extraordinary moments in his political past that are at odds with the candidate of the present: His discussions in 2001 with Democrats about leaving the Republican Party, and his conversations in 2004 with Senator John Kerry about becoming Mr. Kerry’s running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.
There are wildly divergent versions of both episodes, depending on whether Democrats or Mr. McCain and his advisers are telling the story. The Democrats, including Mr. Kerry, say that not only did Mr. McCain express interest but that it was his camp that initially reached out to them. Mr. McCain and his aides counter that in both cases the Democrats were the suitors and Mr. McCain the unwilling bride.
Beware of all Clinton shills who espouse not voting for Obama in the general. Let them. They are blue dog democrats in the first place. More in line with the GOP than the Democrats. They are the 25% who have crossed over to vote for Hillary in the first place. Now clothing themselves as li-li-liberal Democrats they would like nothing but to dog Obama at every twist and turn.
Obama has outsmarted them all. He has run a clean campaign, with no lobbyist or special interest money, and has managed his financial and organizational affairs magnificently.
Hillary has not only botched the $140 million she had to start with, but has also alienated AA, staffers in her own campaign, former staffers and White House aides and colleagues, not to mention members of her own party, i.e. Richardson, Kerry, Daschle, Pelosi, Kennedy, Lewis, et al. Is this the kind of divisive president this country wants? Not. Do not be at all surprised to find her on the ticket with McCain. Remember who said that first when that happens.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does the genocide of Native Americans trump slavery? I think not. They should be both discussed. If a Native American talked about the genocide, would you consider that a lecture as well? Of course, it all depends on whose lectures you are open to.
