Letters to the Editor

With the Iowa vote nearing, Clinton, Obama and Edwards reveal sharp tonal differences, betting the farm not on policy but on political panache.
  • There's nothing new here...

    Hillary will change with the winds; today she is the new, engaging, light-hearted Hillary who takes it all with detached amusement.

    Edwards, of course, is For The People and will stand-up to those interests that are not Teachers Unions, Public Employees' Unions, special pleaders or grievance mongers.

    Obama's charm makes him the man even Republicans could vote for, if they were not voting as well for ever more socialistic programs and naive foreign-policies.

    As with most Leftist, they are Santa Claus politicians, promising to sell-out American interests (Kyoto/Bali), abrogate contracts for populist appeal (the mortgage crisis) and mandate impossible economies (the legislation of 'energy independence' while crippling ANWR oil, new gasoline refineries and nuke plants.) They then fall back on the tired rubric of 'greedy corporations' while ignoring the ever more powerful facts of greedy politicians and gov't bureaucrats.
