		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Obama thing is not about the words, it’s about the feeling, the emotional vibration, the poetry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the Edwards blog tonight there is an entry about Obama plaigarizing from a movie named Man of the Year, starring Robin Williams. There is also some talk of making an ad showing Edwards saying something (with the date) and then showing Obama repeating it verbatim (again with the date).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They aren’t too happy with Obama copying poetry being written by John Edwards.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;“choose not to buy health insurance”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the tucker carlson theory of young people…why should healthy young people be foreced to buy insurance. possibly the dumbest friggin jerk on the face of the earth
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess he’s never heard of a children’s hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
‘dumbest friggin jerk’ might be harsh. I’ve read some pretty stupid stuff by Repubs on blogs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Really laughing at Ron Paul. Mocking him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s what they consider debate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They can’t think of anything good, but they certainly feel arrogant, derisive, angry, etc.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Giuliani — we have the best in the world. Need free market — mass consumer demand will bring down costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘mass consumer demand’ for health care?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What’s he calling for, massive injuries to people or massive numbers of people with diseases?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bush got it mostly right — Giuliani — he put us on “offense.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it were a football game what Bush did would be like attacking the cheer leaders or the waterboy and leaving the other team on the field unopposed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;But there is no such person; there never is - Scarecrow above. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aye, there’s the rub and we need to come to terms with that. Repub debate interesting and looking forward to the Democrates.  Glad Ron Paul is included in first, angry that Kucinich is not in second.  They were most interesting on Moyers last night.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blessings,&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You seem to be saying the difference is between listening to a performance and a discourse. You may be moved by the drama of the performance, but if there was no content, the performance isn’t going to solve your problems. If you have real content in a discourse, even if you may lack eloquence, those who are looking for some sinew to build policy on might find it. The voters can seek details and elucidation during and after discourse. With mere performance, there’s little substance to respond to. You might walk away feeling uplifted, but when you go back to recall how you will accomplish the goals so eloquently espoused, you have nothing to work with.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
