		<description><![CDATA[No president, without the support of citizens, is worth a damn. It is the actions of citizens (or the inaction of the same) that will determine our lives and our children&#039;s futures; by striving to be open-minded and fair, by striving to look at all sides of issues, to try to not let pre-conceptions cloud our judgments, we will become the Great USA once more. But by the same token, if we leave everything up to whoever wins the most votes, we are only hurting ourselves by letting them do what they want.

More on topic: LOL Febreeze. I&#039;m loving the man-crush between these two.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was there, I heard the media constantly bash Reagan as a war mongerer because he, not Ford, was building up our military. He was attacked at every turn for building up our military defenses, when all along he knew exactley what he was doing. 
Then it took years for the media to admit that he &quot;may&quot; have had something to do with the fall of the Soviet Union. 
By the way, Carter just sat there looking dumb during the entire Iran hostage crisis. It took Reagen to make something happen and get our hostages home.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well Jane we are not discussing 30 year old former African Child Solders.  My Comments were directed toward the youth included in the voting pool of this country.  You know the twenty something college grads who still live with mommy and daddy waiting for someone to hand them a six figure salary because they have a diploma.  Your choice of argument is ridiculous.  I would not discount the maturity of one who grew up in such an environment.  I would however stand by my argument that Obama is simply pumping Gen Y full of false hopes and empty rhetoric to secure their vote.  I also feel McCain is playing on the fear of change that exists with the older generation to secure theirs.  These are the choices we are given, one who won&#039;t remember his name in two years and the other whom spent many years listening to racism disguised in Sunday mass.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, what he said about tire inflation is true. He basically said that making sure your tires are properly inflated will save gas (it does, so does using nitrogen to inflate your tires), and that it adds up.  If you check the link in my name, the GAO estimates that tire under-inflation wastes about 1.2 billion gallons of  of gasoline a year, and that DoE estimates that offshore drilling would produce about 1.4 billions gallons of gasoline a year (after a number of years). So, he really wasn&#039;t that far off, and his claim isn&#039;t as far fetched as you are making it out to be. Your comments would be an example of that slant you are always decrying.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last quote was directly from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, not the media by the way. As for the unemployment rate, while its true that has fallen during the Bush era, that statement carries a major conservative slant to it. It also ROSE significantly during Bush&#039;s term, and overall has not returned to the levels it was at when he took office. In fact, Clinton is the ONLY president in the past 36 years that they have been recording the data to have the unemployment rate trend down the entire time he was in office. As for the AP staffing, thats an base stereotype with no real grounding. YES, the media shapes the news to promote their own agendas, but not all MSM aside from Fox News is left-leaning.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never meant to imply Obama doesn&#039;t lie.

But, this LOL is about McCain, so I commented on him. personally, I think lying is part of the job of being President (thought you have to be a little better at it than these two guys). I merely said I don&#039;t think McCain has any integrity. I happen to think that Obama is an inexperienced opportunist with zero foreign policy experience. I also think that the fact that he is newer to the system may not be an entirely bad thing. I liked McCain better when he stood up for his beliefs rather than kowtowing to the party line to gain support. I also get sick of the Media treatment of Obama, and think they were largely responsible for the outcome of the primaries. Say what you want about Hillary, at least she&#039;s been around and understands how things work.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are facts mixed in, but the overall slant of the stories has been to make them less favourable for the administration.

The definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. There hasn&#039;t even been &lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt; quarter of negative growth yet, but the MSM are talking the economy down.

And while unemployment has risen slightly, it fell significantly during Bush&#039;s term. But that wasn&#039;t given the same coverage.

AP and the like are mostly staffed by Democrat supporters, and they form the news to promote their political agenda. It&#039;s best to assume they&#039;re lying unless it can be proven otherwise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The minute I lost what little respect I had left for McCain&#039;s integrity was a few weeks ago when he was in Pittsburgh and showed himself to be either senile or a liar. When being interviewed by KDKA TV, McCain professed that he would offer up the names of the Steelers defensive line as his squadron mates when interrogated as a POW. He also said &quot;I was a mediocre high school athlete but I loved and adored the sports but the Steelers really made a huge impression on me particularly in my early years.&quot; HOWEVER, there are a few holes in this story. First off, the Steelers sucked prior to 1972 for most of their history, and had few notable players, and no notable defensive linemen, so it is unlikely that they were that recognizable or influential at the time. More importantly, in his own 1999 Memoirs, McCain himself says it was the Green Bay PACKERS that he would recite the names of (a far more likely scenario given the times). They even made a movie out of it. So, he was either lying to pander to the Democratic leaning people of Pittsburgh, or Senile and just plain forgot. Which is it, and which is worse?]]></description>

Jobs brochures are seen on display at a state unemployment office in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Jobs brochures are seen on display at a state unemployment office in Sunnyvale, Calif.
A shop keeper makes change in Montpelier, Vt., Thursday, July 31, 2008. The country didn&#039;t get the energetic rebound in economic growth hoped for from the government&#039;s tax rebates in the second quarter, and the economy jolted into reverse at the end of 2007, raising new recession fears. Ramon Pichardo waits to take the subway home after appying for unemployment benefits with the New York State Department of Labor on Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Pichardo recently lost his job as a cook. An unexpected jump in weekly unemployment claims reported Thursday by the Labor Dept. stirred concern about the health of the nation&#039;s businesses and consumers. Stephanie Simon, an employee of Target, works on the back to school display, Tuesday, July 29, 2008, in Tallahassee, Fla. The nation&#039;s retailers are entering the critical back-to-school season, the most important period behind the holiday season. However, economists _ who closely monitor sentiment since consumer spending represents about two-thirds of all economic activity _ didn&#039;t interpret the slight uptick as a beginning of a rebound in shoppers&#039; mood.

Wall Street expects a Labor Department report today will show the economy shed jobs for the seventh straight month in July. Economists polled by Thomson/IFR predict that payrolls shrank by around 72,000, beyond the 62,000 positions eliminated in June. So far this year, the economy has lost about 438,000 jobs.

The Labor Department releases July employment numbers today, a day after news that the economy grew at a lower-than expected pace in the second quarter. The unemployment rate is expected to have risen to 5.6 percent from 5.5 percent, and could rise more as the lack of credit stunts businesses&#039; expansion plans.

The employment report, often regarded as the most important economic reading on Wall Street, gives investors insights into the health of the consumer. People who have lost their jobs or are worried about being out of work are likely to spend less, a disturbing prospect for investors as consumer spending accounts for more than 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Economy grows by only 0.6 percent in 1st quarter of 2008 	
Apr 30 11:52 AM US/Eastern
By JEANNINE AVERSA
AP Economics Writer

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The economy, boosted by $90 billion in stimulus checks, grew at a faster pace in the spring but not as strongly as expected, the government reported Thursday.

The Commerce Department also lowered its readings on growth in the two previous quarters, resulting in the first contraction in the economy since the 2001 recession. The report is likely to spur further debate over whether the economy has fallen into a recession.

The gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation&#039;s economic activity, grew at an annual rate of 1.9% in the three months ended in June. That&#039;s up from a revised 0.9% growth rate in the first quarter.

Still, the reading was weaker than expected, as economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast growth of 2.3%.

The first-quarter reading was revised lower from a 1% growth estimate a month ago.

The Commerce Department revised the fourth-quarter 2007 reading to a decline of 0.2%. The previous fourth-quarter reading was 0.6% growth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Funny, &#039;cause as i recall it was Reagan and Daddy Bush who thought that supplying a bunch of religious nuts in Afghanistan who hated the Soviets only slightly more than they hated us was a good idea, who also thought that providing materiel and diplomatic support for Saddam Hussein in his war with Iran was also a good idea and that kissing Ayatollah Khomeinei&#039;s behind to fund an illegal proxy war in Central America was a good idea too.  The people you would believe &quot;keep us safe&quot; are the same ones who help make the monsters that we end up with later...and before you trot out that tired crap about &quot;blaming America first&quot;...screw that...I&#039;m blaming REPUBLICANS first and they are no more the literal embodiment of America than are any Democrats]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[EP. when it comes to unqualified and inexperienced, I believe you&#039;re talking about the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave (failed in every business venture his daddy and his cronies set up for him, avoided travel and had no practical basis of his own for his foreign policy). and your suggestion that Obama has had everything handed to &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt; on a silver platter is a dose of irony which ultimately means you&#039;ve been huffing the talk radio fumes for perhaps a little too long. 

On top of that, the way you throw in the phrase &quot;Affirmative Action President&quot;, could you be blowing that old dog whistle any harder? Quit playing at civility and just throw out one of the more obvious epithets you&#039;re biting back from the tip of your tongue...we can almost smell from here just how badly you want to...

Besides, Reverse Ace McCain (personally destroyed 5 or more US aircraft) only got his spot in the Naval Academy because his daddy was an Admiral...but then, hey I guess actually having life handed to you on a plate is only OK if you&#039;re a Republican scion, right?]]></description>
