Bush the 21st Century Model
[Read the article: The GOP on the verge of imploding]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush is the model for a 21st Century President. All Presidents after him will try to be "The George Bush". All candidates now, who are succeeding, are running on the Bush Platform.
All candidates who espoused Reagan -- Giuliani, Thompson -- went down in flames.
All candidates who espoused Conservatism -- Huckabee, Paul, Romney -- went down in flames.
Bush is not popular...but neither was JFK or Lincoln...or even FDR who was despised in his time by many.
Bush created the New American Order...very different from the globalism of his father. Bush is an American with American policies. He broke free of Euro-strangulation and UN hegemony. We finally cut our own way during Bush's administration...rebalancing power to where it really is (is France really a "Big 7" player? I think not...).

Charity Begins In Your Production Studio
[Read the article: I Like to Watch]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was actually sort of entranced by this series. The key thing for me was: here are all these type "A" personalities trying to "win" the show by doing works of charity.
So, how fast would they rush through giving out money to all the poor people ( normally called "losers" in their world ) so they could get on to the next leg of "Charity Survivor". It was hilarous to watch them trying to seem as compassionate as Mother Teresa when you know there was a stopwatch and calculator running in each of their heads thinking -- "is this the most sympathy bang for the buck"?
But the thing that turned me off to all this fun, as Oprah...who seemed to want her charity proteges to be good...but not too good! In her reviews, she slapped down a few of them who seemed to have a knack for virtue...almost as good as...Oprah?? No...it couldn't be, so the Queen of All Charity occasionally jerked the leash to let them know that She Who Signs the 4' x 6' check wields the ultimate power.

Obama, Grand Theft Party IV
[Read the article: CNN reports Clinton, Obama camps in talks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama won the Democrat slot by caucus, not by primary.
For a "e-zine" that is now whining about the valid Florida results of 2000, they should examine how a candidate who cannot win a single big state primary in his own party is suddenly the candidate...and how two states with exactly the number of votes to elect his opponent are magically excluded from the process!
Salon-o-crites are out in full force today as they are blinded by their GQ candidate.

No Reason To Whine
[Read the article: The ugliest election]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If the people really wanted Al Gore, he should have won in a landslide not a squeaker. Only the most dubious person could have performed as badly as Al Gore based on his stats. Popular in the Senate. Eight years in an administration that had 63% approval ratings? Gore should have walked away with it.
But he didn't. That little old man from Texas, G. W. Bush, took the prize while Gorebots twiddled their fingers.

Be Young, Broke and Fabulous
[Read the article: Flip this house. Please!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The housing market isn't really going to correct until the Baby Porkers start to expire and the birth rate in Mexico drops down to 2 (it's already happening).
Until then, instead being stuck in house with a pregger and unpayable bills, learn to live free and enjoy life.
Good things come...

HRC Heading for Mate
[Read the article: The new math in Florida and Michigan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary has played the game perfectly...now she will mate at the convention. Her delegates have been seated with half a vote. How long do you think it will be before they start mau-mau'ing for full voting rights and she seizes the nomination?
Her whole goal in this has been to hijack Obama voters without actually delivering Obama to them. She used him and let him appear to "win" so that new voters will be sucked into the Democratic Party. Now that he is no longer necessary, Obama will be spit out like an olive pit.

Cigar Chomping Fat Guys in White Shirts
[Read the article: The new math in Florida and Michigan]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm not really sure that the results of all this "populism" are any different than if the Democrat primary were controlled by cigar chomping fat guys in white shirts.
What do you, the readers, think?
