		<description>&lt;p&gt;OK, thanks for the funding call.  I didn’t know if more money at this stage would be useful.  I’m in for another $100.00 to Blue America Pac.  Actually, I’m not sure if that’s my first to the pac, but I’ve consistently used the FDL link to support our candidates via Act Blue.  Again FDL, thanks for giving me the chance to contribute.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I have not understood why Lamont has not used “have you had enough” re: Lieberman (&amp; Hadassah) per pharmaceutical “donations.”  He’s been too nice on issues other than Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I voted yesterday for Carol Voisin.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                182              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eight die in Israel’s Gaza offensive&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Gaza is a gulag.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;True, but……&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone who has read my comments here over the past 15 months knows I’m both knowledgeable about Israel-Palestine issues and highly critical of some Israeli policies.  That being said, let’s leave this subject alone until next Wednesday.  Please.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don’t get what you’re trying to say.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-358484&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;GSD @ 80 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;George and Dicks “alternative interrogation techniques” are wonderful for US troop morale!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some soldiers would rather &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/columns/pressingissues_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003345862&quot;&gt;die&lt;/a&gt; than debase themselves for the most corrupt presidency in US history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fucking disgrace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps George W. Bush should apologize for this…can we get a media outlet to start demanding that please.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-GSD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Disgraceful and tragic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reminds me of the old samurai practice of committing seppuku rather than following the orders of a corrupt lord.  Their suicides were a form of protest, and meant to bring shame upon the corrupt lord.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, there is no shame in this administration.  Sociopathic &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:pigf@#%25ers.&quot;&gt;pigf@#%ers.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;D&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I’ve been with you all summer Howie, and I’m in, too.  (Still filling out the form, but I’m in!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God bless your soul. We’ve done so well. I keep wondering if the fascsist are going to come kick down my door, declare me an enemy combatant and torture me. And who will open the mail I keep getting from our pal Sherrod?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Way deep in EPU, but this made me laugh out loud.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-358620&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;seepeesate @ 199&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-358601&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;FJM @ 186&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What happens if Lieberman gets a higher % of Dem voters on Tuesday than Ned does? What did he, and we, accomplish?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you kidding?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listen, I’m not even a Democrat, so let me tell you what the netroots (and the Lamont campaign specifically) has done for me. Before the Lamont campaign, I completely despaired about our nation. The Republican party is the sleaziest, most corrupt and treasonous lot I can imagine being in power. The Democratic party plays the beaten wife to the Republican’s drunk husband — shtus up, takes it, and enables her abusive mate in every concievable way. I firmly believe that the Democratic party is fully infiltrated with a fifth column working for the same ends as the evildoers in the Republican party. They’re clearly allies in crime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, what hope was there? Even if the Democrats win, I reasoned, it will still be the exact same policy as the Republicans offer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Lamont campaign changed my thinking, and gave me hope — there actually is life in the Democratic party,and the Democratic party can be a vehicle to getting things back on track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if Lamont loses, what the race has accomplished is far beyond that and is not negated. It ahs shown me (and many of my friends) that things aren’t hopeless. It has motivated us to work on other races and issues. It has been, if I may be a touch hyperbolic, manna from heaven.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without the Lamont campaign, I wouldn’t be agitating, let alone voting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OOOOH… SNAP!&lt;/b&gt;  Nicely done, and thank you for joining us in the good fight!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hate to say it but I just can’t see the point in giving any more money to Lamont’s campaign. It’s just a lost cause and I’d rather give it to the guys like Trup who have a fighting chance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s your priviledge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Um…thanks?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess I’m just disheartened. I feel like all of the promise and hope and entusiasm that was present before the primary just fizzled. There wasn’t the same sense of urgency. What happens if Lieberman gets a higher % of Dem voters on Tuesday than Ned does? What did he, and we, accomplish?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, if he does win, at least he’s out of the closet now, so to speak. We now know that he’s no democrat. But it ain’t over til it’s over.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
