Whither response Salon?
[Read the article: Was the 2004 election stolen? No.]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mr. Miller has responded to the factually lacking rebuttal by Manjoo. Why does Salon continue to employ someone that continues to neglect the facts of the matter and rely upon weak resources in his reporting? Manjoo's negligence is ill-serving a magazine that claims to be after the truth. I will not be continuing my subscription, I suggest others do so as well.

Unorginal
[Read the article: A song for Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She still comes off as pandering and unfunny. The first humorous ad which I have seen is from Bill Richardson.
-
My song for Hillary
[Read the article: A song for Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"War Pigs" by Black Sabbath, for her blank check for war to the Worst. President. Ever. (my apologies to Bartcop)
-
Give it up
[Read the article: Cheerful boos for Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wish Salon would stop using Republican ideas, repackaged. Clinton is no liberal, she's a centrist corporate shill.
-
It burns...
[Read the article: Art movies: R.I.P.]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ohh...the stupid...it burns my Precious.
-
Yes.
[Read the article: Are Democrats really so lame?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Here's two examples:
1) War with Iraq
2) FISA
Need I say more?

Quick! Someone tell Joan Walsh!
[Read the article: Why is the Democratic Congress so unpopular?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She seems to be (seems, nay IS) clueless and blames it on the blogs and money.
-
It was blown because they wanted to.
[Read the article: How the Democrats blew it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They failed to stop the GOP plan because they support it. Folks like Arthur Silber have been pointing this out for some time, it just takes some effort from people like me to overcome the cognitive dissonance of (formerly) supporting the Dems.

Ron's Racism
[Read the article: Ron Paul is a baby elephant]

Prescient
[Read the article: Democratic complicity in Bush's torture regimen]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Arthur Silber's been right for a long time.
The current crop of Congressional Dems want these powers too, so we shouldn't be surprised when they go along with the Repubs.
More Dems in office means more of this until the people wisen up.

Why I no longer subscribe
[Read the article: Dogma days ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Camille is one of main reasons why I, and likely many others, no longer subscribe.
I keep coming back for 2 things: Andrew Leonard and the comics.
Dump her and find someone less vapid.

"They" have nothing "on" the enablers
[Read the article: Harry Reid's FISA games]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]They only thing "they" have is the power which these slugs want.
America is getting the nation we deserve.
-
Why do you support?
[Read the article: Harry Reid's FISA games]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Bush administration has announced to the world, and to all Americans, that this is what the United States now stands for: a vicious determination to dominate the world, criminal, genocidal wars of aggression, torture, and an increasingly brutal and brutalizing authoritarian state at home. That is what we stand for.
And who says otherwise? The Democrats could -- and the most forceful means of doing so, the only method that is appropriate to this historic moment, the method that is absolutely required if we are to turn away from this catastrophic, murderous course, is impeachment. That is the one method the Democrats will categorically, absolutely not utilize -- because the Democrats are a crucial, inextricable part of the identical authoritarian-corporatist system that has led us to these horrors. They have all worked toward this end over many decades, Democrats and Republicans alike, and now the horrors manifest themselves explicitly, without apology, even with the sickening boastfulness of the mass murderer who is proud of what he has done, and who vehemently believes he is right.

Senators not good Presidents
[Read the article: Harry Reid -- compare and contrast]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The fecklessness of Obama and Clinton on the FISA vote only further demonstrate that the old narrative of political growth, Senator then President, is a hollow idea.
When was the last time anyone got really excited about a Democratic candidate who was in Congress? When was the last time one even was elected?
The skill set one develops as a legislator is not even close to the one needed to be President. As much as I love how Dodd has taken a leadership role, I think that in 08 it would be best if he stayed in the Senate, along with Obama (and the meager good which Clinton brings), and worked to overturn many of the travesties which have been foisted upon us by the GOP and their enablers like Lieberman.

/headdesk
[Read the article: Is Richardson in or out?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]See, this illustrates why I dropped my subscription (and keeping Paglia around). Rather than repeating lazy reporting, you could have just--here's something crazy-- CALLED the campaign.
-
Executive power
[Read the article: Mukasey's radical worldview is now the norm]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I would love to see a non-legalese weasel-worded denunciation of these "signing statements" by Obama, Clinton, and Kucinich and a pledge to declare previous void and to make no further statements.

Out-of-touch Farhad
[Read the article: How the Web pushes politics further left, further right]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]To understand why the DINO from MD lost, just look at Glenn's post today about the telecom immunity bill.
People are tired of Congress going along with the GOP, despite pledges to stick up for us, and hamstringing our civil liberties, not out of some loyalty to Ober-Meister Meisterbuger Dark Lord Kos.
-
Webb?
[Read the article: Amnesty Day for Bush and lawbreaking telecoms]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As in Jim Webb? He voted for this excrement?
-
Personality Cults
[Read the article: What's the Obama campaign's position on superdelegates?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Elections stopped being about policy and more about cult of personality a long time ago, it's not just one candidate. Don't tell yourself otherwise.
-
Don't forget Hillary's fundie pals
[Read the article: Various items]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Clinton has ties to lunatic Christians as well:
http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Plus-Nothing-American-Fundamentalisms/dp/0060559799
-
Jeremiad
[Read the article: Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What we see with Wright is a ancient method of upbraiding a society: jeremiads. They are always needed, but never popular. Seems Wright has taken his given name to heart.
-
This cinches it.
[Read the article: The haunting of the Democrats]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I stopped paying for this drek a long time ago. Since I can read Keef and the other comics other places, I shall.
Buh-bye.
