"Spending More Time With Family?" R-i-g-h-h-t!
[Read the article: Can you say "cut and run"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Golly. So, more and more Repooplicans are leaving to "spend more time with their families", huh?
If that's the case, then, that space under the fridge from whence they all slithered is sure gonna get crowded!
May I suggest someone build a Republican-sized "Roach Motel"? That should take care of most of the Bush Maladministration.

[Read the article: The Rush and Rove Show]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Limbaugh and Rove agreeing on politics? Where I come from, we call that mutual masturbation.

Hand-Wringers, Nervous Nellies & Assorted Whiners.
[Read the article: Giuliani's dangerous bluster]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To my fellow Progressives who wring their hands and bleat that "Hillary will never win!", to my fellow Democrats who simply quiver with nervous-nellie dread what a Hillary candidacy will do for the party and those whining Liberals who checked their spines at the dor, I have only one thing to say:
Strap on a pair and get to work on winning in '08!
You can't win an election by being timid, weak or non-resolute. Those bastards across the aisle surely don't play patty-cake in elections. They "swift-boat" people, send phony e-mails out, tie up get-out-the-vote phone lines, smear the opposition, use ANY tactic to thin the opposition's voter rolls and fix voting machines!
Am I saying that we should stoop to their level of illegality or immorality? No...I'm simply saying that we will be hit hard by the Repooplicans in '08; we don't need a bunch of losers on OUR side to help them win!
Grow a set of balls, folks...or, go join the enemy. I'm here to fight the good fight and win...with Hillary or whoever as my candidate.

Like A Loaded Gun? Depends.
[Read the article: Pit bulls are innocent]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Let's face it: by themselves, pitbulls are just another breed of dog. They only get their bad rap because of the people who own, breed and/or train them to be bad or aggressive; that's when pitbulls become the equivalent of a loaded Glock pistol. By themselves, pitbulls can be just plain sweet and loveable.
However, take a look at the kinds of people who own those nasty and aggressive pitbulls: gangsta thugs, drug-dealer-types and general pain-in-the-ass neighbors. The ownership of a fierce dog somehow makes up for their failings as men: call it the dog-as-substitute-for-the-lack-of-a-penis syndrome.
I see the pictures of the pitbulls available at the local humane shelters...loveable faces, sweet dispositions and wagging tails. I couldn't, however, adopt one, bring it home and trust it not to turn on me or my family. Who knows what that poor dog has gone through prior to being offered for adoption. That's just a fact.
I do remember, though, when I was a child, I was nipped by aggressive dogs twice: once by a Collie and once by a friend's Yorkie. I was bitten by yuppie puppies with not a pitbull in sight!
That goes to show, I suppose, that Collies and Yorkies have better press-agents than pitbulls.

Well, Rove's Half-Correct!
[Read the article: Fantasy island]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Rove called himself "Moby Dick". He is half-correct...just not about the "Moby" part. He's simply a "Dick".

Propounding Propaganda
[Read the article: Ari Fleischer's misleading message]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I've seen those egregiously grating FreedomsWatch "issue ads" on CNN's Wolf Blitzer political program in the afternoon as well as on the ABC/NBC/CBS local network stations, sandwiched between the local news and the national news. In all cases, they were some of the lamest pieces of drek-filled propaganda ever.
In my case, according to Joe Conason's article, they seemed aimed at our "wavering" US Senator Arlen Spector. With the number of whipsaw turns and 180's from Senator Spector on the Iraq imbroglio, I'm surprised that ANYone knows what his position even is!
Rather then spending their money on worthless, misleading and indefensible crapaganda, these Repooplican fatcats could donate that money to a homeless shelter, a foodbank, a battered-women's shelter, a humane society or directly to either veteran's relief or the families of those who are currently serving in uniform.
Of course, that wouldn't serve their purpose, which is to prop up their boy Dubya and his blind fealty to their continuing profits.

Jiminy God! Another Crotch Christian Hypocrite
[Read the article: "Jiminy God!": The Larry Craig story]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I call 'em "Crotch Christians". Those are the so-far-right-that-hypocrisy-is-normal Christians who infest our government and are obsessed with ANYthing even remotely sexual. Their mantra is "If it's between the neck and the knee, it's bad for you and me!"
From nursing moms to abortion to school sex-ed to gay issues to pre-marital sex to...who knows what else...these people see prurience everywhere. Our Pilgrim ancestors are alive and unwell.
Matter of fact, the right-wing moral mullahs Focus On The Family are so obsessed with the subject that their name should be changed to Focus On The Fanny.
So, for Senator Craig to be a closet-pervert and yet be a member of the Crotch Christian cabal makes perfect sense to these people; remember the sexual misadventures of Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker and the rest of the preachers and moral puppets of the Right?
Always beware the High Priests of Morality; you can be sure that they have some skeletons in their closets...pun intended.

John Edwards: When A Good Man Becomes Oprah
[Read the article: John Edwards turns on his fellow Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]John Edwards lost me, and my '08 support, during the '04 elections. That's when he basically grabbed his ankles during the "debate" with Dick "Iron Smile" Cheney. His fawning manner, "getting in touch with his feelings" when answering, lack of a move-in-for-the-kill agility with Cheney and overall wimpiness just grated on my nerves; with his wife Elizabeth strapping on a pair of brass ones recently, his persona has been cemented: wuss.
Hillary is tough. I like her positions on the issues, her long and distinguished record and her plans for the future. Plus, she retains her feminity. Nice combination of power, strength, grace and self-assuredness. Just what I want in a President.
Sorry, John...perhaps you can organize a group hug and we'll all join you in singing "Kum Ba Yah" while doing so.
