reconcile this
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The only problem with reconciliation here at home, is that the GOP refuses is become reconciled to the fact that their ideas and policies have become proven failures.
-
Hhhhmmmm that's a tough one.......
[Read the article: Who do you believe: Bush, or Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not!
You don't have to know the first thing about economics to answer this question. Considering that Bush is retarded and that he's been completely wrong about everything, I would have to go with Obama.

now we know.....
[Read the article: Obama takes Wyoming]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]......why the patriot act is so vital. If Bushco did not have the authority to eavesdrop on Americans, we might never have known about Eliot Spitzer's daliances with a prosititute. I feel so much safer knowing that Bush is spying on Eliot Spitzer.

Now we know.....
[Read the article: Report: Spitzer caught on federal wiretap]
[Read more letters about this article: Here].... Why the patriot act is so vital......so the GOP can dig dirt on their political rivals. I feel so much safer knowing that Spitzer solicited prostitutes.

the legacy of Gonzo
[Read the article: Report: Spitzer was starting point for prostitution ring investigation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well I guess now there's no disputing that this administration has turned the justice department into a political weapon.... not to excuse spitzter.

i hate george w bush
[Read the article: Five years of Iraq lies]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's kinda hard to stop lying when you tell a whopper like the original: "Hussein was connected to 9/11". Why he was not impeached soon after those statements, which were so obviously, patently false, is a huge mystery to me.

Obama and the white working class
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The white working class has got to wise up and start voting in their own self-interest. They need to stop getting distracted by red-herring issues like flag burning, gay marriage, school prayer, stem cell research, and gun control. And they need to stop getting distracted by dirty, elitist-baiting politics of the GOP and the Clinton campaign. And they need to cut loose from their white working class identities. So Joan Walsh is Irish Catholic - Big whoop! That does not mean she can't vote for a smart peron like Obama. She's still got a brain in her head, right?
Tell you what, if the white working class reject Obama based on Clinton's accusations, then it will confirm that what Obama said was true.

Joan Walsh
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My affluent, white-collar, over-educated, agnostic side chafes at your Irish-Catholic, working-class pig-headed ignorance.

irony
[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The irony is too much.
Hillary Rodham-Clinton, the one who went to wellesly, the one who went to Yale law school, the fmenist who hyphenated her name, the one who made snide remarks about first ladies baking cookies...
is accusing Barack Obama of being an elitist, liberal, left-wing, Ivy-educated snob?!?!!?!?
Hillary remembers every barb and arrow she's suffered and she's throwing them all back at her natural ally, while she cozies up to the GOP.
The woman is twisted.

What I really want to know
[Read the article: Dick Cheney was never a "grown-up"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I've known for quite some time that Cheney was a radical, and that I disagreed with him on virtually every issue, but what I still don't understand, is WHY he holds his views. I've read bits and pieces of neocon ideology, trying my best to appreciate their thought process, but I never can. It all seems so anti-democratic, so cruel, so paranoid, so un-American, so belligerent, so insane. Could anyone out there clue me in to what makes them tick. Is there a lense through which I can view Cheney's mind, and have it make any sense at all? I suspect it's a need for complete domination, driven by a very deep seated fear and an almost animalistic instinct for survival. Am I way off base?

Russert=Coward
[Read the article: Russert should debunk nonsense, not repeat it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well at least in this instance, Russert's negligence or cowardice won't get us into a bloody, trillion dollar, never-ending war....... not directly at least. If McCain gets elected as a result of these flag pin distractions, who knows?

not so fast sidney
[Read the article: The GOP on the verge of imploding]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes, it looks as though the GOP might finally have destroyed itself, but just look at the past history that Blumenthal recounts. They keep screwing up on a monumental scale. From the corruption of tea-pot dome to the incompetent laizes-fare policies that lead to the depression, to the sinister undermining of our democracy suring watergate, to the huge debts of the Reagan administration, again to the sinister corruption of Iran-Contra, they keep coming back to life. The GOP is like a vampire or a zombie that jsut won't die. Even after the photos of Abu Graib and the open knowledge that the rationale for the Iraq invasion was a sham, Bush got reelectd. You cannot chalk it up to democratic incompetence. Their is something wrong with our system, with our culture, with our people. Not quite sure what it is exactly, but whatever it is, it's still there. The fact that polls show McCain even or ahead of Clinton or Obama, after the demonstratable disaster of Bush, proves it.

Disgusting!!!
[Read the article: McCain: "Clear who Hamas wants to be the next president"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]McCain has morphine completely into bush with that comment. That's right. Let's aggrevate or enemies, let's provoke them, let's heighten tensions. "Bring 'em on!"
Disgusting!!!!

run away obama
[Read the article: I was wrong about Wright]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Obama needs to run away from this nut-job egomaniac narcissist fast. Denounce him. Disparage him. Call him unstable. With friends like Rev. Wright, who needs enemies. The part of my brain that concocts conspiracy theories is telling me that Wright is on Rove's payroll.
-
Amen to that
[Read the article: A new round of superdelegates for Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Good news. Looks like the super-delegates are doing what they were designed to do - be the voice of reason and experience when push comes to shove.
What Clinton was thinking when she started siding with McCain is beyond me. Desparation, I guess.
Go-bama!!!!

Junk in, junk out
[Read the article: Obama Veepstakes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dartboard or not, those questions were deeply, DEEPLY flawed. Hair part?!?!!? Be Real. This is Salon; we're not idiots! And where was John Edwards? Maybe the most obvious choice. Good idea - very poor execution. Do this again, but do it better. Treat it as a real academic analysis, not a gimmick to entertain your readers. Your readers, for the most part, are not entertained by gimmicks, but rather academic analysis.
