Where's the money?
[Read the article: A mixed message for Rudy from the Christian right]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wannabe VP Huckabee only raised 1M last quarter. Maybe Huckabee as VP to Scoop and Dump or Romney can provide the compromise the "first tier" GOP candidates need to sucker the evangelicals into the voting booth.

Wrong

Put the kool aid down
[Read the article: Burqas vs. lips like "a goose anus"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think this in danger of being a racist sentiment even though she's aiming at cosmetic surgery.
I think you are in danger of drinking too much of your own flavor of kool aid.

oh noes, call the PC Police....

[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Silenced shows us why Political Correctness divides people instead of supposedly uniting them. Oh my, some lady said something that someone somewhere might possibly, if put into a certain context, be taken as racist.
Who cares? This woman says how she feels and all of a sudden she is getting psychoanalyzed because, according to some stranger, she could have possibly made a statement that some might perceive as racist when put into a certain context. Maybe she should have realized that people in the US are used to constantly walking on eggshells and aren't allowed to say anything that others might consider offensive? Yay for multiculturalism and political correctness, I mean the modern psychological panopticon and self-censorship.
Divide and conquer.

Rudy's Macho Musk
[Read the article: Not that there's anything wrong with that]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Will prevent any of those under his spell from looking into this on their own. The True Believers have no need to verify the words of their leaders because they are obviously all true. The people that are gullible enough to buy into Giuliani are the Red State Fascists who are hypnotized by tough talking Authoritarians like Ghouls and who believe that Republicans are so virtuous that they can ONLY tell the truth, any attempt to say otherwise is merely a smear campaign by the liberal media. These are the same people who believe that the only people that tell lies are "liberals and leftists", and if you bring up something you saw or read that paints a Republican like Scoop and Dump in a bad light you get, "how can watch/read ? It is so liberal/leftist".
Yup, the only people buying old Scoop and Dump's snake oil are the same ones that are going to take him at his word and not waste their time reading up on the candidates, especially since all the stuff they find will somehow be tainted by "liberals/leftists" in their eyes.

It is going to come to...

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The social liberals will be forced to vote for Guiliani, while the social conservatives vote for Clinton?
Close. All the social conservatives and antiwar conservatives/republicans will be voting for Ron Paul, and all of the antiwar democrats and social liberals who are passionately against things like the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, Torture, FISA, etc. etc. will be voting for Ron Paul as well. I mean, we've heard all about heroic Dodd on Salon, so I imagine that those who value Civil Liberties read Naomi Wolf's recent article on HuffPo about Ron Paul introducing the American Freedom Agenda Act of 2007, and read the subsequent legislation, right? Amirite?

Oh wait, Paul isn't a Democrat, so there is no way the true believers will go for it, it must be a fascist plot of some kind. It would only be serious and newsworthy to a true believer if it was introduced by someone from its "side" of the isle.
