Glen - in the adult world people are responsible for their own actions. The Democrats are no more responsible for Bush's radicalism than I am for the ever more divisive content of your columns. People were responsible for themselves in the libertarian ideology too - is that not the ideology you originated from?
In my opinion your columns are beginning to have a consistent theme of encouraging the lefties to fraction off from a unified Democratic party a la Nader, etc.
The one and only point of worth he makes is that the anti-war fanaticism of the left and their refusal to recognize the Islamic threat is out of mainstream and corners the Democratic candidates and Congress into a very vulnerable position.
It's a pity that the rabid anti-Liebermanism that impermeates Salon readers psychology will prevent them from grasping this reality.
Clinton is our best shot by far at President. The GOP smear machine will eat Obama or Edwards for lunch within days. Neither one is able to contend with it, nor has the experience to. The lastest rounds with Obama's "management" of foreign policy questions proves it.
Clinton also can appeal to center left and independents where the others are unlikely too. Most important she has the EXPERIENCE and access to the best of the best to put on her cabinent, and hell only knows you'd have to be dead not to realize that's the most essential thing now given the state of affairs domestically and internationally.
re: He can't f#cking WIN
Barack Obama's candidacy is about his race, and, sadly, because of his race, his candidacy will end in failure. Two years ago he was a state senator of little accomplishment or repute - he has no foriegn policy experience, no executive experience, no military experience, no, well, no experience at all.
Exactly. And he'll be running against Big Daddy Keep-Ya-Safe John McCain and the GOP and the media will take him down in 2 days which is precisely why they've held their fire, snickering, given Obama free Rovian campaign help, sent their troops to the primaries to vote for him, and continued to have their media whores glorify Obama while willfully ignoring his no-show in the Senate and woeful lack of experience.
Similarly truthfully noting LBJ's accomplishments on civil rights is "racist" but 80% of black voters in Democrats voting for an arrogant sop without experience because he's black presumably isn't.
As for the white male liberals that typicaly write Clinton bashing idiocy on Salon letters, you just have to understand. About 1/3 of them apparently like "tom payne" are Republican trolls needing to interject Monicaism into every other sentence (incidentally my answer to that is at least when Democrats are philandering they're doing it with GIRLs and not underage highschool paiges and male hookers and soliciting police officers in airport restrooms).
The rest of the obama adulators/Clinton trashers appear to be those lefties that live to lose and victimize themselves so they can hang out on Salon tabletalk writing their witty little thread titles for each Republican instilled atrocity ("What fresh Hell is this", ad nauseum). The only good thing is the longer the Republicans destroy the middle-class it seems like they steadily drop off as they can't afford the Salon membership and the rest of us don't have to suffer through their arrogant fartfogs.
God willing Mrs. Clinton can pull through. It's going to be tough now between the Republicans and the liberal trolls who have now made it a black vs. white race war for her to win against the REpublican machine, but she still might be able to pull it off, whereas if Obama had been humble enough to admit that he wasn't experienced enough to yet run for Presidency this would all be a non-issue: we'd be looking at a Democratic landslide. Instead we're now going to have (at least) another four years of the GOP to further instill their ruinious policies on the people.
But my gut feeling is thanks to these trolls, both on the left and right, we better get used to saying President McCain and get ready for an Argentinan melt-down.
But please please don't blame this on the Democratic Party. Those of us who remember the prosperity, peace good governing of the Clinton years would in fact just love to "go back" to that. God please send me back to that!
Those of us with a tad of maturity understand "hope" isn't going to get you to square one without a plan, alliances, hardwork and experience.
Let's nominate someone with a chance, huh?
As far as presenting that to the "net roots" of Salon writers you may as well piss in the wind. Doncha know Hillary was single-handedly responsible for sending US to Iraq yet? And remember these were the geniuses who gave away a Democratic Senate Majority by demonizing and antagonizing a man who had an 87% record of voting with the Democrats. (and now proceeds to screw the rest of us in retaliation).
In short the liberal left couldn't find it's way out of a closet with a flashlight and a map. And now unfortunately they've willfully created a race war within the party and assured a Republican victory.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
