CGerharsreiter..... The Tea party was "a media creation?" You are "mistified" by the disappearance of the Tea Party? I suggest you ask your eye-doctor to recommend a good proctologist who can assist improving your outlook, if not your thinking.....

Ginsburg is Jewish..... I suggest that the writings in the Torah are old, too..... Does she propose substituting the writings in the Qu'ran, which are much more recent than the Torah......

Derfel, you are historically ignorant ~ or ignorant of history! In your case, both are correct. When you say, "Your government," you label yourself a non-American. The use of atomic bombs to force the surrender of Japan saved far more lives than were killed ~~ lives of Japanese as well as those of Americans and our allies. If you are ignorant of that historical fact, I suggest you either begin reading history books ~~ or commit your ignorance to the realm of silence.

Let us just guess what you think with.....

If I'm correct, 45caliber is a large-bore!!!

Your question was obtuse..... Can't you spell I S R A E L?

Suggestion, ericynot ~~ take a few moments to calm yourself, sort thru your thoughts, and attempt to put them in a logical, readable order..... If you want your post to be read, please make it readable! y not?

I think every potential voter should be required to take and pass a political-literacy test..... But who would compose, administer and grade the test? Catch-22!!!

Michael, were you serious when you wrote: "Only one lonely, courageous voice among the top-rated national hosts (and that would be me) openly dissented and proudly (and perspicaciously) endorsed McCain." You "proudly {and perspicaciously} endorsed McCain."? The GOP candidate who failed to mount a creditable campaign against an absolute pretender to the presidency? A GOP candidate who failed to confront a Democrat candidate who had NO claim to the office of POTUS? A RINO who still falls all over himself in defending BHO, in total denial of the fiscal and social disasters spawned by this man is neither an intellectual nor an orator? This covert Islamist who can be correctly called a Kenyan-born sock-puppet? Shame, Michael!!! Shame.....

Can you cash a check without proving your identification? Can you use a credit card without proving the card belongs to you? I suggest the right of an American to vote in a free election is far more important than cashing a check or using a credit card ~~ that right has been paid for by the lives and blood of millions of members of our US military..... Is asking for proof of identity a "repeal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965?" Not if the voter is a US citizen, properly registered..... Asking for proof of identity is upholding a valid citizen's right to cast a vote..... No questions asked about skin color or religion ~~ just a request for the voter to prove it's truly him/her who's voting.....
