Republican troll cythera, you are the only "bot"
[Read the article: Obama spokesman goes after Clinton on tax returns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And what you are is a living Spambot. If you were not being paid, I could almost feel sorry for you.

Can't we take it at face value?
[Read the article: Changes at top of Clinton campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If my candidate and her campaign had been putting up with the level of bullshit HRC has taken for the last year, I'd be ready to pass the baton too. I don't see any reason to look deeper into what Solis Doyle actually said. Woman needs a break. I bet Clinton does too, but she doesn't get to take one. Now if only Mark Penn would get exhausted.... But he seems to thrive on this shit.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you think cythera is the lamest poster on Salon, you should spend more time at Broadsheet.
Seriously, though, I don't think he is (or likes) Clinton. Just a Republican troll.

[Read the article: Changes at top of Clinton campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think they're just trying to drive wedges between Democrats. There seem to be several of them. Negativity suppresses interest and turnout, and that's all the Republicans can hope for this year.

YUCK.
[Read the article: Hey, skinny bitch!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Another example of people one doesn't want on one's side. C'mon, people - you're making us rational vegetarians and vegans look bad.
I am a vegetarian, started that way for environmental reasons, and have lost my taste for meat over the years. So even though I could afford the occasional local, humanely raise, grass-fed buffalo burger now, I have no interest. Meat just isn't food to me. I find that I don't feel healthy without some dairy fat in my diet, so I'm not vegan. I buy raw milk for the farmer up the road.
That said, I am not in charge of anyone else's choices. There are plenty of ways to be environmentally friendly, AND skinny, AND a meat eater. Eat whole foods, in reasonable proportions, with meat and dairy in moderation, and EXERCISE.
And I don't know if the authors of this book recommend Rice Dream (as in the graphic), but if that's their idea of healthy food, they obviously haven't read the label. Like almost all fake "milks," it is highly processed, empty-calorie, crap. And, more to the point, if you don't get enough exercise, it will make you fat just like cream will.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you an Obama supporter? Because your message of hope doesn't come through the static.
You wrote: "Does chaos within the Clinton campaign presage chaos within a Clinton administration? Just asking."
Cute. I am undecided, and no post or poster here is going to change that. But I'm always a little suspicious when people claiming to be Obama supporters try to tear Clinton down so ... persistently. Are you a Republican, perchance?
Anyway, to address your rhetorical question, depending on how a person looked at it, a person could say that someone who knows how to make changes in her administration when necessary is way smarter than the Man Who Would Be King up in the White House. Also, you may recall that John McCain and Mike Huckabee have both had top-down shake-ups that help them significantly. One of them is actually the de facto nominee now, while the other is staying in the headlines by pressing forward aggressively toward a post-mathematical "miracle." (I guess God helps those who help themselves.) After the last seven years of political hell, I look at Clinton's ability to see mistakes and correct her course as an amazingly refreshing change - something you expect from a leader. I hope I am not offending your (Republican?) sensibilities.
Anyway, her ability to run her human resources department is not going to change my vote in the least. The actual public results - e.g., whether the campaign keeps trying to start and/or further little rumors and lies and scandals about Obama - very well might.

I think everyone should just stop pointing fingers.
[Read the article: Paul Krugman criticizes Obama supporters]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am a huge Krugman fan on economic issues, but I'm not sure he always calls the political issues right. And to accuse one side of more finger-pointing seems ludicrous to me: Hey, who's been pointing fingers here? Why, it's [pointing finger] YOU PEOPLE!
But, regardless of one's allegiances, I think it's appropriate to ask both candidates for a strong statement that they will support each other so WE can win. Anyone who believes in ending the war anytime in the next ten years, in keeping reproductive choices open for everyone, and in making one final, desperate attempt to lessen the effects of the global climate crisis needs to be voting for a Democrat this year. I don't want to see the party self-destruct in this all-important election, especially over two candidates who, policy-wise, are virtually identical.
