The Truth is that Diebold Stinks!
[Read the article: Was the New Hampshire vote stolen?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Diebold owners are big Republican contributors. They give us a receipt for a banking transaction, yet there is no receipt for your vote. They could easily fix and verify our voting machines but have not done so.
It is ridiculous to put up with them. Proprietary software for these voting machines is a joke. We MUST look at their software or they DO NOT get the contract.
Who else do we know that is a very, very secretive organization? Right you are, it this corrupt, lying, thieving Administration that tells us to shut up and take their word for it. They are also Republican, like the Diebold owners.
Forget about it, these boys must go.

Obama Wins By 28 % over Clinton !
[Read the article: Edwards finishes third in South Carolina, will press on]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This was a huge win for Barak Obama! If you added Clinton's vote to Edwards' vote, Obama still wins 55% to 45%. And where did Hillary go as the vote totals came in? Why she was in Tennessee giving a speech and telling us that "only politicians look to the next election". She didn't even say farewell to her followers in South Carolina. At least John Edwards had the class to congratulate Obama as he THANKED his South Carolina followers.
Hillary was in Tennessee and Bill was in Missouri. Both were giving speeches. The Clintons are both behaving like cowards tonight. They can gang up on Obama, but they will lose this nomination. As a Democrat, I am sick of this cowardly behavior from the noble Clinton family.
One last point, 525,000 people voted today in South Carolina, 80,000 more than in the Republican Primary last week.

A Record Vote in South Carolina Begets a Record Victory for Obama
[Read the article: An old-fashioned thumpin' in South Carolina]

Has Barak Obama 'Any Knowledge of International Issues' ?
[Read the article: An old-fashioned thumpin' in South Carolina]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In 2002 both of today's senators, Barak Obama and James Webb, concluded by separate means that invading Iraq was the WRONG thing to do. Both of these men said so publicly. However, Senator Hillary Clinton voted with the Republicans to green-light President Bush to use force against Iraq. She admits that she did NOT read the current NIE at the time.
So how did two men not in the U.S. Senate know more than Senator Hillary Clinton? Where did they get their information if not from a knowledge of international affairs that was available to intelligent human beings? Hmmmmmmmm ...

In 2002, Hillary in Senate, Obama Not in Senate
[Read the article: An old-fashioned thumpin' in South Carolina]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]James Webb, elected to the Senate from Virginia in 2006 and a former Secretary of the Navy, came to the same conclusion as Barak Obama on not invading Iraq. They reached this conclusion in 2002 and said so. Senator Hillary Clinton failed to read the pertinent 2002 NIE and green-lights President Bush to invade sometime after October 2002. What is unclear?

Every SOTU by Bush is Marked by a Lower Approval Rating
[Read the article: The dismal state of George W. Bush]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thank you Mr. Shapiro! Your facts are daunting. They summarize for many of us the "dismal state" of our country after 7 years of the George Bush style of leadership and his Republican enablers.
'Style of Life' of an individual was noted by the psychiatrist, Alfred Adler. Adler believed that " The style of life of an individual is wholly accomplished in earliest childhood..." He went on to say,
"I do not doubt that some persons through experience bring their mistaken style nearer to a social adaptation but always only if their common sense (a social function) is working for improvement. Otherwise the failures we observe do not change in the least degree."
Early in George Bush's life his mother, Barbara, noted that his behavior was disturbing. She said so to others. Barbara Bush is quoted in Frank Shaeffer's "Crazy for God" as asking Shaeffer's mother, an evangelist, to pray for George.
