		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many have said that it is a mistake for Obama’s campaign to respond and join McSame in the mudslinging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hate to tell you folks, but Obama, if he wants to win, has zero, nada, zilch choice in the matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some people love the mud, some love the slinging, some love the fight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What’s it about for John McCain? What would he do the day after being elected? NOTHING.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama might have some fun with all that, but in the end for Obama it’s about doing great things for America. It’s about the American people!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Palin looks like a ticking time bomb, and the McCain campaign is scared; the Truth Squad phoniness is overkill. They can’t get her off the ticket, so their only hope is to attack anyone who can reveal her as the fraud she almost certainly is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does that mean they’ll end up attacking Palin herself after she is interviewed or othewise talks?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The surest way of revealing your stupidity is to open your mouth and talk.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
… if McCain sells Palin to a White House victory, then US citizenry is not just media bamboozled they are the dumbest “advanced” country on the planet. And they’ll deserve that they get. Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me thrice …
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ve said it yourself, don’t be fooled again — vote for Obama-Biden!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The repubs have people who can get that crap out there. Sure it’s stupid, but it’s out there, and eventually something will stick. Where in heck is the dem equivalent?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dems have two things going for them: good looks and humor. Well, at least that’s to get you looking &amp; listening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seriously, Dems use the Truth and occasionally break out in wildly silly humor about pigs, lipstick and John McCain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the world waits with baited breath to see if we make the right choice and while our candidates let everybody know they know the issues and the seriousness of fixing them quickly the Republicans bring us Maverick McCain P.O.W., Sarah Palin the secessionist barracuda and lipstick pigs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This ought to be easy enough for the American public to figure out.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;jdmckay means “Obama’s speech to AIPAC”. In his trip to Israel he did not give a speech. He gave a press conference and had a very busy day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The presser looked like a speech to me.  And it sounded like the AIPAC speech.  You know, AIPAC… the guys who produced the made-for-TV thriller:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strike&gt;Get the oil from&lt;/strike&gt;  &lt;strike&gt;Destroy WMD of&lt;/strike&gt;  &lt;strike&gt;Liberate&lt;/strike&gt;  &lt;strike&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;FREE  IRAQ&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starring Michael Ledeen &amp; Paul Wolfowitz&lt;br /&gt;
Co-starring Richard Pearle &amp; Douglas “dumbest fucking guy on the planet” Feith&lt;br /&gt;
Guest appearances by Elliot Abrams, David Frum, Bill Kristol
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And don’t forget the sequel: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Birthpangs of democracy: Levelling Lebanon&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, you better not think about avoiding pandering to these guys, cause… uh, well… uhmmm… uhhh… our friends, right?    &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So this lunch hour, against my better judgement, I checked in w/CNBC again.  Seems Sarah wears some japanese glasses costing around $350 and everyone wants a pair!!!  Orders for those thing up 4 fold they said.  Ha ha ha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m getting an eerie feeling… Palin opens national chain of McMooseBurger “family sitdown” eateries.  Yes, the R’s mealticket: McMooseburger w/a side of freedom fries.  What’s not to love about that?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks to me like if W’ can just keep the economy from going toes up until Nov., these 2 have got a knee-capping chance for (what’s more American than) VICTORY!!!  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And when the economy does bust… when the USD is entirely abandoned, properly Mc’splaining that “it was the dem’s fault”… that should do the trick in keeping the franchise in the WH for another 8 yrs.  And all us proletariat liberals rightly can crack rocks to pay for our “liberal” squander that got us there.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what are we talking about?  Lipstick and pigs.  (bangs forehead on wall).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;wow.  (that one was backward, as my head just did a linda blair spin.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i know these people are beyond evil, but now they’re just so blatant about it, it’s utterly frightening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;check this out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Palin_survives_media_onslaught_for__09102008.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://rawstory.com/news/afp/P.....02008.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;
Republican strategist John Feehery acknowledged that facts are far less important than themes when it comes to shaping the opinion of voters in the remaining weeks leading up to the November 4 elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The more The New York Times and The Washington Post go after Sarah Palin, the better off she is, because there’s a bigger truth out there and the bigger truths are she’s new, she’s popular in Alaska and she is an insurgent,” Feehery told The Washington Post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As long as those are out there, these little facts don’t really matter.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>
