		<description>Andre - actually my real complaint is that so many posters here think that calling me names is the same as offering rebuttal. &quot;Oh yeah! Sez you!&quot; was a lousy reply in the school yard and its even weaker in the world of adults. Your reply just reinforces the point that so many of you simply parrot each other and aren&#039;t capable of coherent replies, thus the reversion to childish name calling. Did you even read my original post on this thread? Can you read it? Then make a logical argument against it rather than just looking like another uneducated, illiterate bobbing-head. Progressives are a fringe group and with supporters like this always will be. You sure are entertaining though and occasionally someone types something worth pondering.</description>

		<description>Laura Bush and Kathryn Harris are exactly like the Stepford wives with a glazed over look accompanied by a continuous fake smile.  People die, they smile.  But it is an evil smile, nothing real about it.  These people thrive on death, both Laura and George are responsible for personally taking the lives of others.  How many innocent people have died because of this dictatorship?  Going back George Bush&#039;s days in Texas ordering more deaths than anyone in their history, to the slaughter of thousands of innocent people in Iraq to the deaths of thousands of our troops.  Every time I see the Bushes, I see death, death, death.  While many other Presidents, both Republican and Democrat, focused on peace, these people focus on death.  While all of this goes on before our eyes everyday, Bush says &quot;every life is precious,&quot; with a smile on his face of course.</description>

He must have forgotten to give her the right wing talking points before John Karl&#039;s interview. Talk about flip flopping right in front of your eyes. Why didn&#039;t John ask the right follow up question?

		<description>America, land of unlimited resources? I don&#039;t think so. You have to laugh at how rightous some people are acting, as they turn their backs on their fellow downtrodden Americans and openly welcome illegal immigrants that here to replace our weakest members. Then these same silly asses have the audacity to take about high moral values and even refer back to when our forefathers came here, as if times and circumstances have stood still for the past 200 years. This inability to carry an abstract idea in their pea sized brain is why Republicans hate us so much. &quot;Here&#039;s your clue. If you don&#039;t know what you&#039;re talking about, shut the hell up.&quot; The Republicans want all the illegal immigrants they can get to come here. Why? To lower the cost of wages for the working class. Phase 2 of  out-sourcing, only they simply bring the work force here, while at the same time  cutting the legs out from under the  middle class.
 
If you have a finely tuned sports car that demands constant attention to keep it in perfect running order, would you hand over it&#039;s care to illiterate migrant field hands who have never even driven a car? This is analogous to what&#039;s happened to the finely tuned democracy that once was America. One man, one vote is fine, as long as the majority of those voting are responsible with the use of their vote and intelligent enough to understand why their only loyalty must be to country and not party.  Our democracy has been entrusted to people who know little about democracy and understand even less about how it works and why it works. If you allow people to start disassembling the parts and abusing the engine that powers your sports car, soon you will have a pile of junk which won&#039;t run. I&#039;d say we need to get this old heap into a reliable garage with a certified mechanic or else we&#039;ll all be walking, and most likely walking down the road to oligarchy.

A poorly educated electorate, combined with a flood of immigrants unknowledgeable of the history and workings of democracy,  have allowed themselves to be duped by religious talking con-men who were out for personal gain. Giving pardons to illegal immigration, and allowing people to become citizens simply because we want cheap labor to mow our lawns and pick our produce  has helped America&#039;s decline to the brink of a truly fascist state. The uneducated, be they native born or immigrant, don&#039;t understand when they are being used and are simply too lazy to educate themselves.  It&#039;s so much easier for them to just let a  talking head political hack do all their thinking for them.

Democracy is a team effort. An effort required by all of those who vote. When more than half are intellectually challenged be it by intellect or language barriers, the team is going to lose to the wealthy corporate owners of fascism. Every damn time.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>America, land of unlimited resources? I don&#8217;t think so. You have to laugh at how rightous some people are acting, as they turn their backs on their fellow downtrodden Americans and openly welcome illegal immigrants that here to replace our weakest members. Then these same silly asses have the audacity to take about high moral values and even refer back to when our forefathers came here, as if times and circumstances have stood still for the past 200 years. This inability to carry an abstract idea in their pea sized brain is why Republicans hate us so much. &#8220;Here&#8217;s your clue. If you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about, shut the hell up.&#8221; The Republicans want all the illegal immigrants they can get to come here. Why? To lower the cost of wages for the working class. Phase 2 of  out-sourcing, only they simply bring the work force here, while at the same time  cutting the legs out from under the  middle class.</p>
<p>If you have a finely tuned sports car that demands constant attention to keep it in perfect running order, would you hand over it&#8217;s care to illiterate migrant field hands who have never even driven a car? This is analogous to what&#8217;s happened to the finely tuned democracy that once was America. One man, one vote is fine, as long as the majority of those voting are responsible with the use of their vote and intelligent enough to understand why their only loyalty must be to country and not party.  Our democracy has been entrusted to people who know little about democracy and understand even less about how it works and why it works. If you allow people to start disassembling the parts and abusing the engine that powers your sports car, soon you will have a pile of junk which won&#8217;t run. I&#8217;d say we need to get this old heap into a reliable garage with a certified mechanic or else we&#8217;ll all be walking, and most likely walking down the road to oligarchy.</p>
<p>A poorly educated electorate, combined with a flood of immigrants unknowledgeable of the history and workings of democracy,  have allowed themselves to be duped by religious talking con-men who were out for personal gain. Giving pardons to illegal immigration, and allowing people to become citizens simply because we want cheap labor to mow our lawns and pick our produce  has helped America&#8217;s decline to the brink of a truly fascist state. The uneducated, be they native born or immigrant, don&#8217;t understand when they are being used and are simply too lazy to educate themselves.  It&#8217;s so much easier for them to just let a  talking head political hack do all their thinking for them.</p>

		<description>I would like to see the next 15 seconds of this tape.  It appears like she was going to say something else.  If you want to represent her as a &quot;flip-flop&quot; politico then make sure you are accurately representing her or we all end up being maligned.  Name calling and spinning media to suit our needs isn&#039;t exactly moving toward &quot;progress.&quot;</description>
