Loyalty - Virtue - Politics : Rare 3-part oxymoron
How can anyone use the terms loyalty, virtue and politics in the same sentence, much less the same article? They never go together. Loyalty, when used in politics, is transient in nature and usually to a partiuclar cause or principle, rather than a person or even a party. It never survives difficulty or challange, unlike true loyalty. ...

Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"
I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

The Audacity of Accomplishment!
Among the many political advantages that Sarah Palin’s candidacy brings to the table is that her mere presence will inevitably invite all too predictable and insulting Barrack-attacks from Democrats, such as the patronizing and politically self-destructive comment made today by none other than Barrack Obama on “60 Minutes.” Obama condescendingly ...

The Spite Vote
I enjoyed your article and found many points you made to be right on the money. In particular, I find the attitude of disgruntled Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for Obama to be ridiculous and thick with irony. Their displaced anger and willingness to cut off their nose to spite their face in the name of battling sexism is laughable. ...

Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

Discursive Divisive Discourse
First of all, my apologies that this is a bit lengthly but I've tired of letting others 'create' and perpetuate this ever damaging discourse. And by the way, I am a retired Captain and can fully appreciate the abuse of power, especially during that shameful period of our country's history. The article: Although it definitely fills time and ...

Re: Enough maturity
I'm not seeing how maturity changes the point, and perhaps such notions are a part of the problem. Maybe the rvolt is more age rleated than gender or race. Personally I think the sooner we can get to a post-boomer candidate the better. Look at what Boomer class has accomplished. This self aggrandizing lot have basically wasted the 90s and first ...

Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...
... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...
