		<description>&lt;p&gt;I havent been here in a very long time - it is nice to visit briefly and see how energized you all are.  Anyway, I truly think this veto was all about Bush’s revengeon his own.  He wants to screw them come the next election and picking something so popular to veto just makes all the sweeter.  Bush is and always has been a selfabsorbed spoiled boy with a massive chip on his shoulder. I expect more spitefulness as time goes on.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Bush said this: “Why, all they have to do is go to the emergency room.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reminds me of: “Let them eat cake”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was Bush advocating that the poor should ignore the bills?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lot of people have gone bankrupt from those bills.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trouble with Libertarians like Tucker, Neil Boortz and John Stossel is that they end up promoting the Rethug party by default.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If, for once, they noticed the recent NeoCon Republicans haven’t been the party of Eisenhower or Teddy Roosevelt or Lincoln, then they might see it as sensible to either win with Ron Paul, sit out the general election or swing over and vote for a Democrat to avoid further problems from today’s Republicans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m hoping they give it their all with Ron Paul and if he fails they switch hit Democratic. That would certainly show the Republicans the cost of getting out of control.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I didn’t realize how inarticulate  Rahm Emanuel is, he’s on PBS and he’s a blithering idiot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He speaks too fast.&lt;br /&gt;
He isn’t articulate.&lt;br /&gt;
His statements are confusing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end they looked like a used-car salesman and a sleazy banker trying to get us to buy something. Makes me wanna throw up.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

… He’ll get a place in history books, but not the one he wants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;God, I am so ashamed of my vote for Baron Hill in light of how he’s turned out. I don’t recall him being this conservative during his first tenure in congress. I’ve already told him I’d never vote for him again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t blame yourself. Sometimes we just get lied to. Simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just don’t vote for him again and listen in to conversations on blogs like this one to get ideas of which candidates might be good to go.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I am in total shock because here I sit in the middle of PA, with its wide swath of red running down the blue state, and my congresscritter voted YES.  I am amazed, and will drop him a note thanking him for that vote and urging him if it comes to a vote again to repeat his affirmative vote.  This is the 19th District of PA which practically NEVER EVER votes against Bush.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Government subsidizes the tobacco industry to the tune of around $550,000,000 per year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do we also subsidize gun manufacturers?&lt;br /&gt;
Porn publishers?&lt;br /&gt;
etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Bush’s responds:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ya see, for each dollar we don’t waste saving some damn kid, we get to spend it on killing one troop.  That way we can keep the war going until I retire!  Pave the road to my retirement with the dead!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
