		<description>Thank God for our military men who are willing to speak out against these ten dollar Republican thugs. The American people are depending upon our military men to do the right thing and not serve evil men or take orders from evil men.

Their description of John McCain sounds a lot like the description of Heinrich Himmler.</description>

I did not mean that Lieberman was officially a Republican, and you know it.  Please do not insult my intelligence with your wikipedia links.  I&#039;m fully aware of his situation.

But his ideology tends to be as Republican as any GOP Senator, with the exception of a few (but not all) domestic issues.  My point was that &quot;McCain-Lieberman&quot;, which you gave as an example of &quot;reaching across the aisle&quot;, really isn&#039;t.</description>

		<description>Well, Hillary believes he, like her, has passed the Commander in Chief threshold and certainly has the experience to answer the red phone at 3am (never mind that he would need to be aroused out of his Geritol-induced stupor to do so); therefore, according to her own campaign soundbytes for him, it seems we should be voting for him because he will keep us safe.  I mean, Hillary is never wrong. [tongue now out of cheek and sarcasm button turned off]</description>

		<description>Why Hillary then keeps giving McCain  the good credentials to be Commander In Chief, and herself,of course...while trashing and belittling Obama...by saying &#039;Obama only made one speech&#039;...?????
McCain does not have the patience not to pull the trigger for another bigger war....that&#039;s what we should look at before voting for McWars.

Hillary might not be as fast in pulling the trigger...but she is party of the same war club.
We need a president who has common sense,and not a reactionary president. A president who will able  to listen to different views other than his own circles and gives the room for such views; a president who looks to solve world problems peacefully,and war will be his last resort...and not his first option..</description>

		<description>Katy, you are 100% correct about Clinton&#039;s odd statements about herself and McCain both having the necessary experience to be commander in chief, while Obama only has a speech.  Sounds as if Obama wins the nomination, she&#039;ll endorse McCain...or go so far as to ask for his VP slot.  I knew I didn&#039;t trust the woman but couldn&#039;t quite put my finger on &quot;why.&quot;  She certainly lost my vote in the primary when she voted yes on the resolution declaring Iran&#039;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a &quot;terrorist group.&quot;  She obviously doesn&#039;t learn, because she&#039;s given the Bush administration a wide-open door to attack Iran.  But this nonsense of comparing herself AND McCain favorably against Obama really reveals her ambition and her mendacity.</description>
