McConnell would keep him regardless..
[Read the article: Craig lawyer: He may stay in the Senate no matter what]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Everything you want to know about Republican morality was made perfectly clear by Mr. Righteous himself, Pat Robertson.
When Swartzenegger first ran for the California Governor's spot, Robertson supported him.
When asked how he could support a, feminist loving, pro-gay, pro-abortion and a not so religous guy in general, Robertson emphatically replied .."Because he can win."
Vitter, Stevens, Craig, so what if they were in the stall together.
When the very people who used to pretend to give a shit about what everyone else does, are caught in their own shit -they make lemonade out of it.
And the Democrats and the country buy it.
It is NOT good to be an American right now.

A 'delegate' is, in effect, a party insider/crony.
[Read the article: The presidential primary scam]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Scherer's article should be added to every high schools' curriculum - if schools still even teach 'Government.
Being a delegate looks like such a proud American kind of thing to do, doesn't it? Hardly.
I equate it more to a recess appointment.
Once, in a fit of patriotic 'duty' in the 2004 cycle, I tried to become a delegate.
I supported Howard Dean for President, had enthusiasm but no money, lived in a Red state, and had a castrated DLC run state party whose leader had already publicly proclaimed Dean to be somewhat crazed.
To qualify as a delegate, I had to buy my way in to every inner circle party gathering and convince that gang to vote for my candidate Dean.
Not even with Hellary's bankroll could I have accomplished such a mission.

Clinton will never make it.
[Read the article: The gloves come off on Iraq]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This shining star of the DLC in 2004 and the only A*P*C approved and funded candidate of the bunch, can no longer get away with hiding a hard line pro-war, anti-progressive record.
And if Bill tries to cover her ass on that, he does so to his own popularity's peril.
Might I also point out to those less uninformed -her base supporters really wouldn't mind if she lost.
Just so long as a real Democrat isn't elected.

# 11. Uh Oh! Hot Dog!
[Read the article: How Hillary could tank]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I absolutely disagree with one of your own contentions, which contradicts the very point of your piece.
Hillary is not 'the Democrats choice'!
You and others can argue this all you like, but just as DLC party insiders brought the pro-war Lieberman back to life to screw up the Senate and demeaned Murtha to crown the pro-Iranian war Steny Hoyer in the House, it's now the same bunch who push Hillary, a key DLC leaders, to rule over us all.
And look how well they've handled things since they won.. -completely screwed over the very people who put them in power and manage to piss off 86% of the public.
Do the Democrats, or anyone else for that manner, want more of that? Hell NO!
Hillary knows that. And I believe her positions indicate she's going after the same kind of win Lieberman did. Without the majority of the Democrats.
But a word of warning on these early polls;
Hillary, to the general public, is like a hot dog. Hot dogs are known by everybody and are -OK to most people. In a general poll hot dogs would rank the highest in a race between, say a hot dog, a slice of quiche and cup of yogurt.
But that does not mean that are the best for your health or that one will want to eat hot dogs every freakin'day!
And, that poll result is going to fall like a stunned pig -as you suggest- after an eleven month onslaught full of all the grisly facts and details and visuals of what goes inside of a hot dog.. you know.. the lips and fat and sodium and artificial collagen and ..oh jeez, wait till the public hears about the ..the noses!

...and what about the doozy on 'good relationships'?
[Read the article: It was a joke (we think)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A hilarious show.... "If you think good relationships and good diplomacy means I get to tell you what's on my mind" - then you must be George W. Bush.
If this guy appeared in a comedy club they'd label him retarded and would call for an intervention...then laugh their asses off after he left.

....but it got even funnier...
[Read the article: It was a joke (we think)]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"If you think that after Iraq and Katrina I can "rally the world" around going after Iran" - you must be George W. Bush.
Wowiee.
(Has Dick conned George into playing 'Rendition', the home version?)

Steny Hoyer and Harry Reid gave it all up - out of pure paranoia.
[Read the article: Wimps]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I will not vote for any un-American Democrat in 2008 -and I've been a die hard activist. They took the voters mandate and hid it under the red carpet doled out to the neo-cons and A*I*P*A*C.
And if you don't think so, you better listen to now to Bush and Gates. Gates today was asked about the joint Congressional/Presidential approved road to WWIII involving Iran. They first hoped to get Iran 'because Iran is destroying our troops and Iraq'. Since no one bit on that now they trot out this pathetic excuse: Here's their new twisted propaganda out of the mouths of the 'independent' Secretary of Defense:
(paraphrasing)
"It's not that we want war with Iran. It's that 'someone else' may attack Iran in a defensive response to Irans nuclear ???? and of course we would have to join in (like we did in Lebanon) -thereby starting a possible WWIII scenario.
(Now pout your lip for effect) And you don't want that, do you?
What about poor Israel".
Have you seen the new Israeli slogan and decals saying "I'm a fan of dis-proportionate response"??
The public has had just about enough out of Washington DC. And soon you'll hear "..Fine. Just shut the hell up and go for it -but just remember Cheney, you're house won't have to be hidden from Google anymore -and your oil and Israel can kiss their asses goodbye".
