Why on earth would you have to declare that?

It's a matter of public record.

Look, I have no idea about the nitty-gritty of Chicago life, but why can't rejected Republicans sue? I thought the US was generally under the Rule of the Law.

Discrimination based on lawful political affiliation is illegal in the USA.

Actually, political affiliation is not a protected catagory.

Sounds like a lawsuit in the making

I agree if what she says is true. Then again we haven't heard the other side and this just could be an excuse for a law suit from an editor who didn't do a good job.

'"I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.

"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."'

That's as believable as me saying a Republican called me up last night and said the reason they're so homophobic is because they fear they're all gay themselves!

Nope. Only the government is prohibited from firing you becaue of your politics. No one else has to put up with it.

You don't remember the big stink of the "socialists" getting to hide who was sending them funds?

I love this. The Democrats don't control the House, they don't control the Senate, they don't control the Presidency, they don't control most state legislatures, but by God, they will control the Playgirl editor board or die trying!

Hehe, that was exactly my thought when I saw that.
