Mean girl

It would be fairly typical of reformers to take a stealthy approach to fighting entrenched polictical /big business networks. You could fight out in the open and it appears that she did to a point. To get the goods on a network however, you have to see it from the inside. Having done the that, she is free to react. I would recommennd to many Christian conservatives to first appear as liberals and get inside the circle to learn how corrupt and God-less they really are. Believing in all the "gods" doesn't count in America. We "tolerate" them, but to let them run the country would be the end of democracy and government by the people. Look at any country that follows a religion other than Christianity or no religion at all and has an election. Will there ever be a fair election with opposing points of view again? The 'Keep your faith inside the Church doors' crowd would insure that the Christian viewpoint would never be allowed to openly participate in the political process other than vote.

Finally, I have never seen "Salon" before and I'm wondering what hairdressing 'Salon' in Hollywood this eminates from.

As to the allownce of the F-word, I would like to know what

Rape (that is what the F-word means) has to do with good taste an properly addressing the political process. You need to screen your writers for offensive language. I have been out of the loop for a while having just returned from Afghanistan where I have served as a medic saving lives of our soldiers and wounded insurgents as well.

I ghost-wrote letters to the Editor for the McCain campaign

Margriet Oosterveen is ghost writing again it seems. Did her letter appear published in any newpapers? Can you produce a photocopy from said newspaper(s). Who signed it? Did anyone attempt to locate the signer and verify existence, address etc and put the person on record. If not, the Marge is just as well ghost writing for the hair salon you folk operate out of in Hollywood, How can we know the truth?

However, if you want a real story, I actually did ghost write for the Obama Campaign letters that were posted extolling the virtues of his voice ...how can anyone who speaks so eloquently and with such confidence be bad for unborn children and mothers to be. Contact me if you want my ghost-writing story.

It is amazing the hatred that is expressed by some of your contributors. Their language is truly edifying the Obama Campaign. I read his book and he doesn't seem such a bad guy for the average Joe, but the extremist who seem to participate here lend a negative aspect to his campaign. You are known by the company you keep...
