<title>Comment by Just asking, Chris! er, Christopher!</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Christopher, the word around Capitol Hill is that Josh Feit quit because he couldn't get a promotion. Now Chris, you know something about that, right.</p>

<p>Dan rights about his kid, his plane rides, his licked door knobs, his rides in limos, etc etc. So how can we get the story?</p>

<p>You celebrity has left the stage. Full disclosure, please!</p>

<p>.....Unless Josh was a dickhead and you just wanted him gone.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>#14:</p>

<p>Of course it is.</p>

<p>Pro-woman fascist.</p>

<p>(I KID! I KID! as if I can't take a skewering)</p>

<p>The best candidate, like the cream on milk, came to the top. It's up to US to figure that one out.</p>

<p>Although I'm still torn between McCain (republican/leftist) and Obama (democrat/rightist) and I lean towards Obama, although I don't like him.</p>

<p>Still better than McCain.</p>]]></description>

<p>Nope. You, though, apparently were. Who do you back, and who do villify?</p>

<p>McCain leans left to attract the dems. Obama leans right to attract the Republs </p>

<p>What kind of idiot does that take to figure out?</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Fnarf</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, McCain is super, super, super leftie.<br /><br />
He's going to double the tax cuts and double the deficit. And he's just hired the guy as his chief aide who believes that there are NO restraints on Presidential power -- "near-dictatorial powers" are the words he used. McCain and his staff vigorously support torture and the obliteration of civil rights. Super, super lefty there, I can see where you're getting that.</p>]]></description>

<p>I'm sorry, I do apologize, some part of the original reply got cut out and I don't have the patience to reconstruct it...but if you want to argue, I will. If not, let's let Obama be the candidate and move on.</p>

<p>Honestly, I'm as tired of campaign bullshit as the rest of you. </p>

<p>Really.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Derek</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>You have two choices for president: </p>

<p>The first one has one of the longest lines of political experience in history. He is exceedingly popular in congress. He also volunteered to defend the our country in the US Navy. </p>

<p>The second one has no real political experience outside of Illinois. He is tall and lanky with big ears. He even lost a few of his first attempts at gaining political office. He is an excellent speechwriter and orator. He is a good attorney and has a successful law practice. </p>

<p>So which one would you choose? </p>

<p>This is a trick question because both were already Presidents of the United States. The first one is the 15th President of the United States, James Buchannan. He is the President who mired us in the Civil War by declaring the action illegal but doing nothing when the south decided to seceed from the Union. He is largely considered by historians as being the worst President in American history. </p>

<p>He was followed by the other man who became the 16th President of the United States: This man is credited with the end of slavery, the end of the Civil War, and unification of the nation. He became president at a dark time when our country was deeply divided over very polarizing issues. He had no experience in Washington prior to his Presidency. He is widely considered by historians as one of the best Presidents in American History. His name was Abraham Lincoln.</p>

<p>Sound familiar?</p>]]></description>
