Professional Journalism
I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

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 ...

Let's get on with it
Both are electable. Both are relatively centrist Democrats who flirted with more progressive Democratic policies in their younger days. There is little difference between them in terms of what they would do as President, and either would be a great improvement over the current Republican sucking bog we have sunk into. They differ in identity ...

Re: Hillary
What these self serving Obama supporters fail to see about Florida and Michigan not being counted, is that angry primary voters in those states may either stay home in November or vote for John McCain. They are fine with that so long as Obama gets the nomination. The DNC are morons, it is the voters who will say this loud and clear as they vote ...

Re: are you nuts
The sad thing about it is how media allows any negative Obama issues like ''phrase borrowing'' and countless other things, to go by without proper coverage. Media wants to see ''this generation's JFK'' elected. Period. Who cares about poverty, healthcare, women's issues, experience, Rev. Wright, the ''typical white person'' remark... His ...

Re: Hillery 's Rocky song
I agree, this has been a rigged deck from the beginning. Obama stutters and stammers his way through many early debates and big media is silent, Hillary in the PA debate only says she understood where former NY Gov. Spitzer was coming from concerning illegal immigrant driver's licenses and all media came down on her! Obama will do nothing for ...

Edwards a victim of circumstance.
The tone of this article, I feel, misreads the feelings of voters who either abandoned Edwards in Iowa and other states, or did not even give him proper consideration. Everything we see from most media has been Obama Obama and more Obama. Sure Edwards got coverage as has Clinton, but the real heart of coverage has been Obama. I cannot back this ...

74 Percent
This is what women earn, compared to men. And it's worse for Black women, Hispanic women and Asian women. And try living on Social Security or a pension that is paid out based on how much you earn in your lifetime. Or try caring not only for children, but aging and ill parents, as well on earnings that are just 74% of men's wages. And try being ...

sexism is a global issue
But, this is an American-centric argument. Globally, women are still second-class, the underclass, of the world. We're not just talking white women here and their lifestyle perks. Women live in poverty around the world in greater numbers than men because they are women. Electing a woman sends a global message of empowerment. Why can't we move ...
