Very Good
[Read the article: The GOP on the verge of imploding]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Funny, 35 years ago I never felt such contempt for the Republican party as I do today. Even while Nixon was being impeached, I figured it was just Nixon. I suppose that's because there were still enough "sensible" or moderate Republicans in leadership that I didn't notice that the neo-con's were body-snatching.
George W. McCain has made an unholy alliance with himself and the neo-cons. He will serve as their new mouth piece and they will hold their noses and give him a few kibbles each year to call "his own." Besides, they will rationalize, it will help to keep the masses subdued while they plot their next Iran-Contra, Iraq invasion, or other hellish act that ends up destroying the United States.
The Republican Party is defunct. It's not a political organization, it's a cult disguised as a political party. It is infested with neo-cons who don't care whether or not oil is $100.00 a gallon as long as they can rule the world and get richer.
As for the current Democratic Party, it fits that they cannot figure out whether to shit or fall back right now either. You would think they would have figured out where they went wrong decades ago too, but nooooooo...
The gave the word liberal such a bad name - and let Republicans demonize them for so long - that they had to find a new word to describe themselves, "progressives." Hi-jacked for years by left-of-left elitists who seem undisturbed by the prospect of yet another defeat as long as they get to rub something in the face of their right-wing peers, they were pushed aside by the Presidential campaign of 1992, with New Democratic Leadership candidate Bill Clinton. Now, with a brand new mouth piece, Barack Obama, they think nothing of making the Democratic Party their enemy to get their nominee on the debate stage against McCain, regardless of whether or not he can win.
The left-wing of the Democratic Party through Barack Obama has not so much brought "new voters" into the party as they have sought to circumvent and dilute the existing membership base that clearly does not support their guy.
I'm not sure I want to trust my country to the judgment of a bunch of 20 years olds who rant against the very "old people" in the Party who are paying their college bills - or left-wing elitists who have nothing but contempt for working men and women who are not college educated and "not like us." Make no mistake, the Obamas, for all their real life backgrounds and upbringing, left that average, common life behind a million years ago! They don't identify anymore.
Let's face it: They all make millions, don't they? They all live lives the majority of the rest of us don't live and never will live. So what's the difference then?
McCain is a vast right-wing conspiracy waiting to continue it's march toward a date with facism.
Obama is a vast left-wing conspiracy that's been put out to pasture and now sees a shot at gaining access to government again only to create more ill-advised programs that do absolutely nothing to move our country forward either.
And Clinton doesn't seem to have a left or right wing conspiracy - just a "hey-why-not-I-want-to-be-President-ambition" conspiracy.
I'm voting for her - she's the one most likely to succeed.

Ya Know...
[Read the article: New York Times editorial scolds Clinton ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]first it was Clinton needs to get out of the race. Then it was she has to win Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania is the last battleground. Then it was winning Pennsylvania is not enough, Clinton has to win by a large margin. Then large margin was defined as atleast 10 points when polls showed Obama closing the gap to a few points. Then, after the election, it's become "it doesn't matter." And now, the Times has brought it all back to Clinton needs no only get out of the race, but she should be ashamed too? lmao
Sounds suspiciously like George W. Bush and the cable TV talking heads describing to us the progress in Iraq.
I have a new t-shirt: Bubbye Obama - Here Comes Mama!

Well, Yes, But...
[Read the article: Does that Vera Wang come in two-ply?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]ask any gay guy and he'll tell you how important it all is to us women. Actually, don't ask - he'll tell - and I'm pretty sick of gay men telling me what to wear, how to dress, what color to paint the bedroom, and how many poofs I need in that curtain that flows to puddles on the floor.
And besides, I love a party and any excuse for one is just A-okay with me, including a wedding.

Well I Prefer The ,,
[Read the article: Too bad to keep, too good to hock]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]old fashioned, low-tech approach: Visting the local the pawn shop and then mailing the sales ticket to him (showing the absurdly small amount of money I received from the sale), staped to a receipt for a large bottle of Absolut and party supplies.

What? You Don't Know?
[Read the article: What the hell is Microsoft's Live Mesh?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Instead of being a slave to just one devive, we now get to become slaves to multi-devices, somes simultaneously. No longer can you say, "I wasn't home to check email - and I was in a metal roof building and my cell phone did not ring - and my gizmo-gadget thang's subscription ran out and I was on hold with my cable company and couldn't leave the house for like a month!
