Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Salon watches the second Republican debate so you don't have to.
  • GeeJay nailed it ...

    When he/she said:

    "One historical note to keep in mind when watching these debates: Eight years ago I watched in dismay as one political hopeful’s outwardly sophomoric, ignorant, condescending, idiotic, smirking, donkey-laughing, and non-replies to questions propelled him to the Party’s candidacy."

    To which I would add:

    Whoever becomes the GOP presidential nominee, it matters not where he stands on Iraq, abortion, gay marriage, taxes, healthcare, education, the environment, global warming, the “war on terror,” torture, habeus corpus, or globalization. It matters not whether he’s a flip-flopper, wife-cheater, cross-dresser, believer in evolution, non-believer in evolution, strict constructionist, loose constructionist, etc. etc. etc. It matters not whether his opponent is HRC, Obama, John Edwards, or Jesus H. Christ.

    It matters only that the GOP propaganda machine successfully package him as a “leader” ... and if they could do it with GWB (twice!), they can do it with anyone.
