And Iran/Contra was just an unfortunate boo boo
[Read the article: Why Ronald Reagan didn't completely suck]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]In the grand scheme of things, Ronald Reagan was probably, after Richard Nixon, the most corrupting influence on the Republican party. His tenure solidified the notion that a president could insulate himself from everything that goes on in the WH and get away with it. He was an ACTOR PLAYING A PRESIDENT. GHWB, father of the current abomonation, was the critical player in all the corruption. So we have Reagan to thank for Bush and Bush to thank for W. Ask the millions who bought crack brought into the country by Reagans toadies how great a 'man' he was. Geeze, get a clue.

Drop Brian a note
[Read the article: Joe Galloway blasts Pentagon and Larry Di Rita on "military analyst" claims]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We all need to keep up the pressure. Go to http://dailynightly.msnbc.msn.com and drop Brian a note. If you haven't been there yet, you'll be AMAZED by the worship he receives from his 'fans'. Utterly disgusting.

My hope for The Occupant
[Read the article: Mutterings over the graves of soldiers]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hope the Occupant occupies and 8X10 cell for the remainder of his wretched life. Along with Cheney, Wolfie, Pearle, Feith, Rumsfeld, Gonzoles, Mukasey, geeze, I could go on forever. But Republicans have lots of money so there is zero chance he will ever be brought to justice. Isn't it great to live in a country where money buys justice? I just so goddamned proud.

Two rules
[Read the article: Israel imposes a 10-year ban on American critic of Israeli policies]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1. The government is alway right.
2. In case the government is wrong, see rule 1.
Barbarians of a feather flock together. Today Israel, tomorrow, the USA.

Yes we can.
[Read the article: A new low in Clinton bashing]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That is the sad truth. Her campaign has been so dirty and so Republican-like that we no longer put anything past her. We do not trust Bill, Hillary or even poor little defenseless Chelsea. They have proven that there are no depths to which they will not sink. There are no smears they will not use. She has not earned even one bit of trust. AAMF, my trust of her has been completely used up. Just bringing up the assasination of a Democratic candidate during a Democratic primary when you are facing a Democratic candidate during a Democratic primary is unbelievably stupid. Haven't we had enough stupid in the WH to last a lifetime? Haven't we?????

As instructed
[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]All media that is owned by any entity with a 'Inc.' after it's name is following specific orders from the White House. Corporations have become terminator robots eating anything and everything to churn out profits from which to pay their CEOs and board members. All network news is to be viewed as government, no Republican, propaganda. My only hope is to see Cheney, Bush, Rice, Powell and the rest of the administration being tried for war crimes by the international community. If this does not happen, this barbaric nation will end. Maybe that would be the best solution anyway. When Germany kept starting wars, they spit it up.

He should drop out now
[Read the article: Does Obama have a lobbyist problem too?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hillary is our champion. She lies, cheats, and steals. Now that we're used to that sort of behavior from our representatives, it's really no big deal.

Can you say
[Read the article: Blow-back from Clinton supporters hurting Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]President McCain? I know all you Hillary supporters can.

The Very Best Descripton
[Read the article: "Sex and the City"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The best description of this show I've ever heard:
"I always thought the show was about three whores and their mother".
Can't remember who said it but it fits.

Someone get this man
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]one of those disgraceful 'Snitch and Die' t-shirts that the drug gangs distribute. Republicans-we'd RATHER lie.

Sorry about the language
[Read the article: Clinton says she's open to veep slot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]But fuck that shit. If Obama selects her as VP then he is not the man he claims to be. Period. End of story.

Calvinball
[Read the article: Clinton wins!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Calvinball: If you are losing a contest, change the rules so that by whatever metric you can find, you are winning.
Hillary Clinton is actually expanding Calvinball by going to the logical conclusion. If you lose, you have really won because if it were not for ____________, you WOULD have won. So, in fact, you did win. Clintonball it's now called.

Decisions
[Read the article: The other 18 million]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama does not have to do JACK! These women better decide whether they want Bush III or not. It is not up to Obama, it is up to them. From what I read, they believe that Hillary told them the truth when she said that Obama was the Anti-Christ. They wouldn't vote for him on a bet now. I say good riddance. If they can support a lying, cheating, stealing madwoman, then they will definately be more at home with a McCain presidency.

To Confuse and Confound
[Read the article: NYT front page reports on McCain's reversal on spying, executive power]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It is not 'like' he is changing positions every day, he IS changing position every day. It's his plan. He knows that the corporate sponsored media have been given their marching orders so he just says what he thinks they want to hear. So what if it's different from yesterday? The CSM just report what he says today, not what he said yesterday. A voter's view of his opinions depends on what day they listened to the news. The wierd thing is, IT'S WORKING!! He's pro life and pro choice. He's for withdrawl and agaist withdrawl. He covers all the bases. It's brilliant. I'll be totally blown away if any of this makes it to the nightly news.

Get Used To It
[Read the article: Comcast censors criticisms of itself and Rep. Carney]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The corporate control of our government is complete. No Republican OR Democrat can or will stand up to Big Media. If they do then they will not get their ads run. So just relax and enjoy the Facism. Obama can't end it. God can't end it. Congress is impotent. Just sit back and watch the end of the American experiment. Should be a good show.

That wasn't John McCain
[Read the article: John McCain then and now]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was JOhn McCain. See the difference? One man has a small o in his name and the other man has a capital O in his name. Totally different people. Funny how they never appear together though...

LOL
[Read the article: Supreme Court rules in favor of Guantánamo detainees]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does anyone REALLY think that anyone in the Bush crime family gives a rat's ass about what the Supreme Court thinks? Or what congress thinks? Or what the American people think? Or what the people of Iraq think? Or what ANYONE ANYWHERE thinks? Remember, Bush is just obeying orders from GOD to free the Iraqi people......from their earthly bonds.
