Ashley Todd
Maybe if Ashley Todd had a $22K a week make-up artist she wouldn't have had to carve the backwards "B" on her own face? Just thinking...

From Wikipedia
The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, first published by McClelland and Stewart in 1985. The novel explores themes of women in subjugation, and the various means by which they gain agency, against the backdrop of a totalitarian pseudo-Christian theocracy which has overthrown the United States government in the near future.

Econowives are women who have married relatively low-ranking men, meaning any man who does not belong to the ruling elite. They are expected to perform all the female functions: domestic duties, companionship, child-bearing. Their dress is multicoloured red, blue, and green to reflect these multiple roles.

Fringe Party : GOP loses traction in 21st century
People naturally want to feel good again about their country. Americans want to be able to provide for their families. Americans want a president at least as intelligent as they are.
well- maybe not these Americans:
McCain Supporters hurt their own candidate with racist rants and displays
This kind of behavior is not mainstream. You can't do stuff like this anymore in a civilized, industrial nation. There's no excuse. It's racism. It's ugly. And it's finally started to really die off.
Let's bury it deep and salt its grave so it can never spring up again. Bring garlic- I hear they don't like that either.

Michael Barone/Thug bonehead disharmony
Hello there- just a short note to let you know that I find Michael Barone's Thugocracy article highly offensive.
It is hysterical that the Right believes that Freedom of Speech means they can just lie and lie and lie in the hopes that repetition will make people believe it's the truth. Sorry- we've seen that story before- (even if it is coming out next weekend starring Josh Brolin.) And judging by the current tracking polls, most Americans are sick of that rhetoric too.
Your editors should be screening out ugly, hardly subtle, racially tinged hate instead of publishing it. Thug? Come on. That's weak

questionable article at Rasmussen
