		<description>RE: &lt;em&gt;Vice President Dick Cheney&#039;s meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah on Friday “for talks that will include discussions on cooperation to stabilize the oil market.”&lt;/em&gt;

But...but...but...I thought Bush said it was best to let the market control oil prices.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;And Finally: Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) doesn’t have royal blood. Publishers of McCain’s book, Hard Call, say that the senator is “related to the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce, on his mother’s side,” but “genealogists and medieval historian” tasked to investigate the link say it’s not so, calling it “wonderful fiction” and “baloney”.&lt;/em&gt;

Oh, great precedent. A life of perpetual war:

		<description>5th Estate Says:

“I am not in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.” Lincoln, 4th Debate, September 18 1858
___________

**cough...** I&#039;ve been laboring under the assumption that the real reason Lincoln chose to issue the Emancipation Proclamation when he did was to screw up the South&#039;s economy.  He was hoping it would prove to be disruptive and require the South to keep more troops stationed at home to protect against roving bands of angry ex-slaves, no?

I mean, if Lincoln had been all THAT concerned w/ the slaves&#039; freedom, he could have issued that proclamation in 1861, huh?</description>

Remember that most of those lynchings were performed by Democrats who hated the Republicans for ending Slavery and supporting Civil Rights.

Yes, back then the Democrats were the reactionary bigots and Republicans were the progressives.  Those positions have reversed.  Try to keep up.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Among Obama supporters, 20 percent said they would vote for Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican nominee, if Clinton beats their candidate for the nomination. Among Clinton supporters, 19 percent said they would support McCain in November if Obama is the Democratic nominee.&lt;/em&gt;

Even were this horseshit a valid national sampling, and transferable to a post-nomination clime, it translates to &lt;strong&gt;1 in 10,&lt;/strong&gt; not 1 in 5. Somebody&#039;s  not up to 5th grade arithmetic yet.</description>

that comment was as stoopid as any trooll&#039;s...
and just as disrespectful...

it&#039;s one thing to profess your own beliefs, but it&#039;s wrong to belittle other&#039;s...

please contribute to the conversation... quit ranting... about nothing...
thanks.
we need all the help we can get...</description>

		<description>&quot;Remember that most of those lynchings were performed by Democrats who hated the Republicans for ending Slavery and supporting Civil Rights.&quot;

Ah yes! Lincoln&#039;s Republican party was a coalition of dissenting Whig, Free Soil,Liberty and Democrat Parties. In 1858 Lincoln warned of &quot;Slave power&quot; and promoted &quot;states rights&quot;.
&quot;I&lt;strong&gt; am not in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; Lincoln, 4th Debate, September 18 1858

Then he changed his mind as the South threatened secession.

The Republican and Democratic parties EVOLVED between the 1870&#039;s and the 1930&#039;s where the Republicans abandoned any pretense of representing the balck population whilst the Democrats gradually acquired a conscience as well as realizing the  potential for developing blacks as a voting bloc. 

It was the modern Democrats who forced the integration of the US military in WWII, the modern Republicm opposed. It was modern Democrats who fought against segregation in the 50s and 60&#039;s the modern Republicans who opposed.</description>
