		<description>angrywhitedude, I notice that you latched on to my one minor jab at what a dystopian future a Mormon government would give you, but you managed to completely miss the point.  You extrapolate my comments about what a dystopian future a Mormon government would give you into a me making some assertion about Romney.  Excuse me, is Romney the only Mormon?  No, and its beside the point anyway.  Whenever a group becomes the dominant majority in a community they start telling the minority of that community how they can or should live.  That, my friend, is 100% unamerican.  It is the worst of mob rule and is in no way compatible with a system of government based on individual rights retained by the people, endowed in the people by their Creator (thanks Mom) -- of the people, by the people and for the people.  I live in the closest thing the present has to a Mormon government dystopia future -- Utah.  I can tell you here that the Mormon majority likes nothing more than to routinely tell &quot;the rest of us&quot; how to live simply because they can shovel it down our throats as a majority.  Its truly ironic, because if anyone should understand in a deep visceral way why the majority should not be allowed to trample the rights and property of the minority, it should be the Mormons.  But in the end, they show us that they are just as human as the rest of us and can be corrupted just like anyone else.  They corrupt the ideals of individual liberty when they gather like 5 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.  So many times they claim the mantle of legitimacy through majority rule over the minority.

As for your pathetic quip about &quot;taking my medicine&quot;, that only shows the weakness of your position that you must liken those who disagree with you as suffering from some sort of illness requiring treatment.  I&#039;ve been debating politics on the net for so long that your feeble attempts to get me angry are just laughable to me.</description>

		<description>Dennster the menschner, yes, I am aware of the left-wing connotation of the name &quot;pink.&quot;  I was not inferring homosexuality.

And being called white trash by you??  I&#039;ll take that as a compliment!</description>

		<description>In a 2001 interview Obama srongly suggests the constitution impedes his desire to redistribute the nations wealth.Obama thought the Warren Court, when it helped usher in Civil Rights, should have&quot;broken free&quot; from the constraints placed on the Constitution and the courts by the Founding Fathers and the Framers. How would he , if elected President, take the oath to &quot; preserve  protect and defend the Constitution. ?

This plus his refusal to salute the flag because he sees it as a symbol of oppression, and changing it to his own version of what he thinks is appropriate, has really shown his true colors , and they&#039;r not red white and blue.

His assocciation with a pastor for 20 yrs. , who cursed America.
His association with Bill Ayers.

You have to ask yourself, does he really have the interests of the country in mind?

NO Obama-nation for me!!!</description>

		<description>Could it possibly be said any better than this?:

&quot;What will the GOP do after  a catastrophic defeat? You might think, perhaps hope, that Republicans will engage in some soul-searching, that they’ll ask themselves whether and how they lost touch with the national mainstream. But my prediction is that this won’t happen any time soon.

Instead, the Republican rump, the party that’s left after the election, will be the party that attends Sarah Palin’s rallies, where crowds chant “Vote McCain, not Hussein!” It will be the party of Saxby Chambliss, the senator from Georgia, who, observing large-scale early voting by African-Americans, warns his supporters that “the other folks are voting.” It will be the party that harbors menacing fantasies about Barack Obama’s Marxist — or was that Islamic? — roots.Also, the Republican base already seems to be gearing up to regard defeat not as a verdict on conservative policies, but as the result of an evil conspiracy. A recent Democracy Corps poll found that Republicans, by a margin of more than two to one, believe that Mr. McCain is losing “because the mainstream media is biased” rather than “because Americans are tired of George Bush.”
I’m not saying that the G.O.P. is about to become irrelevant. Republicans will still be in a position to block some Democratic initiatives, especially if the Democrats fail to achieve a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
But the G.O.P.’s long transformation into the party of the unreasonable right, a haven for racists and reactionaries, seems likely to accelerate as a result of the impending defeat.

This will pose a dilemma for moderate conservatives. Many of them spent the Bush years in denial, closing their eyes to the administration’s dishonesty and contempt for the rule of law. Some of them have tried to maintain that denial through this year’s election season, even as the McCain-Palin campaign’s tactics have grown ever uglier. But one of these days they’re going to have to realize that the G.O.P. has become the party of intolerance&quot;</description>

		<description>All is lost! All is lost!..and the blame game starts.LOL
Slow down folks...you&#039;ll have at least 8 years to figure out
how you let the right wing lunatic fringe hijack your 
party. Oh, wait...y&#039;all ARE the right wing lunatic fringe!
You are a distinct minority now...completely discredited, out of ideas,
money, credible candidates (unless you count a simpleton former Ark governor,
a Mormon cultist or a truly pathetic Alaskan gaffe machine) or VOTERS! 
Wed morning will be heaven...Squirm &amp; Enjoy aholes!</description>
