&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Timmeh loves him some torture…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why does Timmeh love to torture us?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gawd, most of the time listening to him IS torture.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Totally in EPU territory. Tried to post this earlier but got lost in EPU land.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My closest friend from high school is an Oxford PhD candidate studying immigration law. Basically she is an expert on this area of the law. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Timmeh did not researh his horrible question (or maybe he did) regarding the immigration law. The fact of the matter is that the law says the state and local governments cannot enforce those laws unless they have a memorandum of understanding with the feds. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Strangely Hillary’s answer was closest to the reality on the ground and the reality is that the law was written that way for a reason.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Timmeh is staying away from John Edwards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He IS a scary guy, huh? Did he give Timmeh that big toothy smile? LOL&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hillary: we’ve got to get back to fiscal solvancy.&lt;br /&gt;
Our current president has never like SS.&lt;br /&gt;
Bipartisan compromise.  Fiscal responsibilty is first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In ‘93 that was the right approach. But, today after the Republicans took a surplus and turned it into huge debt you can’t just continue fighting up that hill and watching them build more debt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s a political fight. The Republicans keep that bright shiny object out there (debt) for Democrats to ’solve’ and like Lucy they’ll keep putting it there for Dems to kick. But, we’ve gone down that road once and they’ve shown they’ll keep spending in forever silly ways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, Democrats have to begin changing the economic policies to make America better and not focus as much on balancing the books. It’s the direct way Repubs can’t prevent us from using to rebuild the middle class and improve the safety net for the poor.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;So Hillary talked a Gravel longer than her nearest rival, nearly two gravels longer than Dodd, 2 1/2 gravels longer than Kucinich, and 3 gravels longer than Gravel.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;THANK YOU!!!!!  Why do I pay Social Security on my entire annual income and my boss only on his first 6 weeks of income?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Buffett and Gates state they pay too little in taxes, WTF???  Hmmm….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be fair, the repubs should be asked a religious question too.  Rudy, what’s the 7th commandment?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LOL&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;AHAHAHA!  Tweety just revealed himself with the question to Dodd, “do you find it difficult to debate a woman?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s almost as good as Bill O’s shock that black people have manners when they go to a restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
