More to it than job numbers
[Read the article: Hewitt: Romney's loss real reason for stock dip]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of course Hewitt is exaggerating Wall Street's reaction to the Obama/Huckabee wins but they certainly added to the magnitude of the sell-off. The employment numbers could have easily been shrugged off as anti-inflationary etc. and I suspect they would have if Romney had won big. A big Romney win would have given the ultra-wealthy a warm fuzzy feeling. A Huckabee win looks a little too much like the rubes trying to actually take some power.

Oh boo hoo hoo
[Read the article: Stop him if you've heard this one before]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So Obama isn't getting a free ride on his coke days. Big effing
deal. Just ask Gore or Kerry what free ride they got for minor
transgressions. Ask Bill Clinton what all he got a free ride for. Obama is really starting to show what a dirty piece of work he is.

Uh ,Glenn, apparently you didn't get the memo
[Read the article: CNN's John King responds]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The memo from The Dictatorship read:
"McCain beats Obama. Make it happen"
John King's name was on the cc'd list.

So who is behind the rumors
[Read the article: Barack Obama: "Committed Christian -- Called to Bring Change"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama is most certainly fighting the "secret Muslim rumors".
Who is behind the rumors?? My understanding is that it was
started by Limbaugh and company and conveniently blamed on
Clinton, which is win win for GOP but also allows Obama to
smear Clinton.

The only excesses of the 60's and 70's
[Read the article: Who among us does not love Ronald Reagan?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]were that Labor and working Americans were getting too much money. Reagan put an end to that and today Americans are still afraid to vote their own economic interests. They rather vote about gays and abortion and religion. That is the real Reagan legacy.

I remember the '70s
[Read the article: Who among us does not love Ronald Reagan?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]College tuition was about $400 a semester. Stagflation was
mostly a media invention. The Iranian hostage "crises" was also
a media creation. The hostages themselves suffered but came out alive, unlike the 250 marines killed in Lebanon which the media just shrugged off because they couldn't blame a Democrat.
The bottom line on Reagan is that 200 million Americans just got ripped off.

Yawn - wake me up in 10 years
[Read the article: Bush's delusions die in Gaza]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]when Gary Kamiya explains how Israel has to negotiate with Hamas blah blah blah.

Oh my God
[Read the article: Clinton "firing" fallout?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is the most important scandal since John Kerry's "who amongst us doesn't love NASCAR" crime against humanity.
I'm so glad that Salon is on top of this.

This is a good thing
[Read the article: How the Web pushes politics further left, further right]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Centrists" that are simply tools of the plutocracy need to be eliminated from government. The European's have much more progressive governments because they have a stronger difference between parties. It will take years but if progressives vote for progressive candidates, change can eventually happen. "Centrists" have no incentive to change. They feel quite comfortable continuing $500,000,000,000 Pentagon budgets while a college education slides beyond the reach of even the middle class.

Simply tools of the oligarchy
[Read the article: Network news anchors praise the job they did in the run-up to the war]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I stopped watching TV news years ago during the Clinton impeachment. When I do catch a glimpse of CNN or FOX in a
restaurant or hotel lobby it is so obvious that only tools
of the oligarchy are even allowed on. This is an incredibly diverse nation of 300 million people yet the range of opinions allowed on all the networks and cable news shows could be measured in fractions of an inch.
