		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Even the polls show that most people believe&lt;/blockquote&gt;Just because people believe crap doesn&#039;t make it so, and there are large segments of the population that are dysfunctional for one reason or another (and stupidity counts, here).

And no the Republican party isn&#039;t &quot;the party of the rich.&quot;  It is the party of individual freedom, private property, civil rights, and the &lt;i&gt;pursuilt&lt;/i&gt; of happiness; which, as much as the Dems and RINOs would like to be otherwise, isn&#039;t guaranteed by the Constitution to be obtainable.

And it is mostly made up of responsible individuals who don&#039;t particularly care for the idea of turning America into another failed socialist state like most of Europe.</description>

		<description>&quot;Patrick - Why must your type be so dishonest? I asked the troll to name even one deregulation that President Bush supported and enacted that caused the credit crisis we are currently experiencing.&quot;

Why must your type be so full of it? President Bush supported the Community Reinvestment Act so he was just another contributor. Members of the Bush political party namely Phil Gramm SUPPORTED the deregulation and worked with Citigroup in order to dismantle the regulations that would of prevented the credit crisis. Even the polls show that most people believe republicans are more responsible for the crisis... they are after all the party of the rich. Bankers/CEO&#039;s et cetera..</description>

		<description>^ Maybe. Each party has gone off track. But someone had to win. 

How many will get mad at no free car or house - - those raw numbers would be interesting!</description>

		<description>All the liberals who want to sing the death toll for the conservative party are sadly mistaken. We have been down before and haven&#039;t gone away. Obama and his leftist illuminati practices will have many of the Obamaniacs running for the right before it&#039;s all said and done.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
Four in 10 voters overall said Palin was an important factor in deciding who to vote for, and this group &lt;i&gt;leaned slightly toward Obama&lt;/i&gt;. But nine in 10 Republicans calling Palin&#039;s selection important were voting for McCain.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g8BsExhV2UVbZa62nYpKgwyqkm5gD948EQ8O0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AP article on exit polls&lt;/a&gt;

So while Palin did hurt McCain, it could not have been enough to cost him the election.</description>

		<description>DRJ - Apparently Iowahawk read your comment ;-)

“Election Analysis: America Can Take Pride In This Historic, Inspirational Disaster

Although I have not always been the most outspoken advocate of President-Elect Barack Obama, today I would like to congratulate him and add my voice to the millions of fellow citizens who are celebrating his historic and frightening election victory. I don’t care whether you are a conservative or a liberal — when you saw this inspiring young African-American rise to our nation’s highest office I hope you felt the same sense of patriotic pride that I experienced, no matter how hard you were hyperventilating with deep existential dread.”</description>

		<description>Well, don&#039;t you worry data dave. Michelle has friends who give her great land deals and monster home markdowns... caviar and room service at the Ritz... private jets, $8,000 vacation homes for a few nights... that sort of thing.

The difference is, since you&#039;re a talking points spouting fool... the difference is, the GOP encourages work and opportunity and REWARDS. The Obama-Soros machine doesn&#039;t want you to have the yacht, the homes, the $6,000 earrings. Obama should live like his aunt or brother if he wants us to do without.

I heard something about &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;spread the wealth around&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. But, nah . . . musta been a rethuglican who said that. Not Barack Obama.</description>

		<description>Oprah&#039;s attachment to this whole thing is strange even if it is race-based. No problem with that, but here&#039;s someone who&#039;s as talented as many people we know, but for some reason, has been blessed over and over and over again. So the race issue apparently connects her to Obama, yet her career is securely anchored in capitalism (hard work, luck and rewards).

The fact is, her syndicated projects put hundreds of people out of work and &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;block&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; the existence of dozens of local shows. It&#039;s an odd result that she is a capitalistic hog, someone consuming more than her share of wealth.  Again, the tears and emotion just don&#039;t make sense. She has no connection to oppression; she has been richly rewarded beyond her talent and skills. The underdog minority thing from Oprah is a total puzzlement. Her wealth is so staggering it could easily be divided and distributed and she would hardly feel the pinch. I don&#039;t understand this woman&#039;s heart or brain. (And yes, I know she gives trips and gifts to her staff. None of them, far as I know, own several media empires and a portfolio of $50 million homes.)</description>

		<description>jd, we await something new that you have to say. Other than your fun name-calling you have nothing of note to say. 

Stay golfing will ya? Let the smart people argue and you should try listening for a change. 

Damn, Michelle didn&#039;t get an account at Neiman-Marcus? And when is Sarah going to give those hot clothes to charity, Michelle could use some. Last dress she wore in public was said to be only a hundred and fifty bucks...more than Target or WallMart shoppers...but not by much. 

a great looking family otherwise.</description>

		<description>If you were unmoved by the scenes in that Chicago park, then you have to face up to the fact that you’re nothing more than a racist.”


I was not moved.  I actually threw up in my mouth a little bit.  Especially when I saw big girl Oprah and those spiders on her eye lids, I wanted to yell at her &quot;Hey big girl!!!! , there are spiders on your eye lids, girl you better get them off&quot; but then I figured she couldn&#039;t hear me through her sobs.  

And then I threw up a little more when I saw Chris Mathews shaking a little bit, and I&#039;m not sure if it didn&#039;t originate from his mid-pants area because he proclaimed to the world he gets a little &quot;tingle&quot; up his leg when he hears Woebama speak and this made me think about him working on his &quot;tingle&quot;.

And then I really lost it when I saw Michelle&#039;s dress because girl she looked big and lumpy and it made me thnk of the Pillsbury doughboy and then I wanted to  eat a biscut, but I had throw up in my mouth.  Girl  that dress did NOT do her any help, if you look at the models it was supposed to be worn by probably a size 2 woman, not a 14.  

Dont&#039; see any racism in that, just pure commen sense.</description>
