[Read more letters about this article: Here]1: He has already given a speech on race - about that specific issue. It was big news when it happened. Oh, that's right, you Hillary cultists only focussed on him "Throwing his grandma under the bus." The whole bit where he said he disagreed with his pastor mustn't have made it past your partisan filters.
2: Or he is stating that politicians have historically treat them like fools and they have noticed. (And lets be honest here, bitterness in the North South divide is not exactly one sided.)
3: Link please?
4: A relationship which has been investigated thoroughly and found to have somewhat less substance than Hillary's links to Whitewater.
5: "I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold.
"I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy."
"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. Sen. John McCain has a lifetime of experience that he’d bring to the White House. And Sen. Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”
Yeah, nothing wrong with Hillary's politics there. Nothing at all. She only stabbed her party in the back in the hopes of winning a few more votes.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You know, the blame for just where this divide comes from comes from both sides.
The time has come to stop acting like there should be a double standard, like the South can't take it told straight that yes, the North does resent them just as much as they resent the North.
The North resents the fact that the South seems to think it is the "Real America" while the North is generally funding America. The North resents it when the South talks about how moral it is, in between flare ups of race related violence.
The North resents the whole anti-intellectual schtick. It resents the fact that being from the North actually counts against a presidential candidate - because it is not like Southern states are all that particularly well run.
And yes, the North does resent the fact that whenever it comes up to a vote, the South seems to think it should screw everyone, in order to stick its finger up the nose of the North, rather than vote in its interests.
The North resents the South's sheer phoniness.
It is time for it to be said clear and strong, if there is going to be a healing of the rifts opened between North and South the "rednecks" are going to have to come to the party too.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]That taxes weren't raised when the country went to war says one hell of a lot about how stupid Republicans really are all on its own.
Besides, it wasn't the war that led to the deficit, it was piss-poor management, a major component of Republican politics.
