am i the onLy one who's day can be ruined by a LTTE?

[sniffa]

i read at Least 2 newspapers a day (the boston gLobe and the metro) and i aLways make sure to read the Letters. some of the whack jobs in my "LiberaL" state Love writing Letters to compLain about Libs and so on... some of the writers i recognize because they write so often.

- such as migueL guanipa of whitinsviLLe, ma.

anyhow, aside from my dismay - is there some sorta standard for LTTE's such as "onLy print so many of their Letters in a given week" or more importantLy.... "identify who the writers are"

that Last Line refers to poLiticos, and insiders writing LTTE's but posing as the common citizen. for exampLe, the founder of (i'm drawing a bLank, but it's "citizens for cathoLics" or something Like that - he's one of the asshoLes organizing against gay marriage here) occasionaLLy writes a LTTE but he does NOT identify himseLf as being the founder of the RW group. shouLdn't you be required to identify your agenda?

another writer, "aLthea garrison" has been getting quite nasty LateLy (economy is great, if you're out of work you're Lazy. if you're kids schooLs are doing bad, it's your fauLt, etc). so i finaLLy googLed her today

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22althea+garrison%22

she's a "recurring candidate" who runs for pretty much any/every office that she can. (i was shocked to find out that she was bLack)
shouLdn't she be required to identify herseLf? most Letters from poLiticians, groups, and such address who they are, and who they represent... so why are these freepers aLLowed to "pretend" to be an average joe?

1. Well, in the Daily Oklahoman, there were some today that tried my patience

I don't understand the big deal about Kerry changing his mind. It sounded like a good deal at first. Then George Bush screwed it all up and now he's against going any further with those kinds of things. These idiots think taht you should stay on one side of an argument no matter if you discover later you're wrong or not. These people piss me off!!!

3. umm.. he DIDN't "change his mind"....analogy here...

I don't remember where I borrowed this from, but:

Timmy asked Daddy if he could get an ice cream cone from the ice cream truck. Daddy said "OK".

Timmy ran to the truck, killed the driver, got behind the wheel, ran over two little old ladies and a baby carriage with twin toddlers in it. The he crashed the truck through the window of a homeless shelter, killing 4 more people, got an ice cream cone from the freezer of the truck and went home.

His father, aghast, cried "What have you done? Have you gone CRAZY?!?"

Timmy answered, "Hey, you SAID I could get some ice cream.

2. Nope - Sorry this is long, but stupid people really make me mad

I'm here in Atlanta and read our local rag, the Atlanta Jornal-Constitution, everyday. And as you can see, I love Jimmy Carter. Love him.

So after President Carter's scathing op-ed piece on Monday, the stupid fools here wrote in questioning his "credibility" on elections. CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE THAT????????

Here they are:http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/letters/index.html

Carter's credibility tank on 'empty'

I have appreciated former President Carter's contributions to society since he left office, but he is in danger of rendering his opinion irrelevant.

His latest comment about Florida elections is an example. The Florida problem in the last election, if we set aside the attempt to throw out military overseas ballots and the early false call of the election by national media, was the errant design of the ballot by an election official who was a Democrat.

Here's my response:
I read with great amusement that some people seem to think President Jimmy Carter’s “credibility” is lacking because he dared speak the truth concerning the upcoming election with regards to Florida. I laughed because of the woeful ignorance of the writers about the workings of the Carter Center, an organization founded by the Carters that is dedicated to promoting democracy around the globe with fair elections. President Carter is one of the few people on this earth with the knowledge and experience to truly assess the voting situation in Florida.

It’s sad when places like China and Indonesia can get fair and accurate elections, but the United States cannot. Some “superpower” we are.

4. true, peopLe are idiots

aside from the common idiot, what about freepers of prominence.

Let's say raLph reed wrote in a Letter, but didn't note that he is THE raLph reed. isn't that dishonest?

5. Exactly

But when you call them on their shit, they scream that you are puppeting liberal talking points or that you misstated what they meant.

Lying hypocrites.

But speaking of Ralph Reed, there is a Democrat finally running for something in his home district. Not one has run in 14 years. The candidate's name is Don McDaniel. He's a Dean Dozen member and a great guy (sorry - plug for a friend :) ) Please check him out: http://www.electdonmcdaniel.com/
