Letters to Editor - bLetters
We welcome your opinion on public issues, in either of two ways. You can submit a letter to the editor for possible publication in the printed edition. The Virginian-Pilot welcomes letters to the editor on all topics, although concise letters (150 words or less) on public issues will receive priority. Letters may be edited for length, style and clarity and writers are limited to one published letter every month. Please add your name, city, street address and daytime telephone number for confirmation.
The other way is to comment on the published letters in this blog. In this online forum, you can comment as much as you want by using the comment box at the end of each entry.

"I also find it amusing that its the neocons who just socialzed the largest insurance company in the world (AIG)."
They are not the largest in the world, just the country. Also, by slight of hand the insurance divisions are profitable. They are dependent on their investment arms to continue to be so though. That part of their org is a holding company.
Jsut do you know, the State of New York is in the process of selling off all of the profitable parts of AIG. They will not be socialized. They just want the goverment to buy the poor investments that they gambled on.
Apparently the information is available from other sources than the local paper.
Dems are Big Goverment?
I would like to point out that the largest increase in size of the goverment occured on the republican watch, I also find it amusing that its the neocons who just socialzed the largest insurance company in the world (AIG). I always thought the Repubs were against big goverment, bail outs and nationalization!
Rhetoric Support Only- No Job Safe
Everytime a election comes around both political parties have a wagon load of political bull manure rhetoric seeking union money and votes. Both promise jobs and benefits and to protect American jobs which entices some to vote for them. Both the Democrat and Republican parties have sold American jobs by agreeing to the so called free trade agreements which was the biggest hoax ever sold to the American people.
I support organized labor and unions, but I would not count on either of these political candidates to keep their word.
Applaud
This seems to be one of the most thought out letters to editor in a long time!
I applaud you and your vote, you hit the nail on the head so to speak.
Some bargain
Obama and his apparent Santa Claus complex is certainly troubling. He seems to have never met a social program he didn't like. He proposes a trillion dollars to fight global poverty, and about that much in new domestic spending.
But McCain will expand spending as well. He intends to take the Bush doctrine to even more insane lengths, with a pledge to "defeat evil" wherever it may be found. Think the Iraq fiasco has been expensive? McCain offers the hundred year war, and "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."
One candidate wants to be Oprah, the other wants to be the Superfriends. If your criteria is "I know either of these men will bankrupt my country, but who will keep my union steel job safe," then who knows - maybe McCain is your man.
