		<description>&lt;p&gt;McCain said today that: “Obama doesn’t care whether American wins or loses in Iraq.”  But there is nothing there for the taxpayers of America to “win.”  McCain cares only about two things: bragging rights for himself and oil rights for the Cayman Islands oil cartels who are picking up the cost of his campaign.  It’s a losing game for Americans no matter how you play it, and the longer you play a losing game, the more you lose.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of course, McC probably knew Cicero&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I believe McCain referred to him as that young whippersnapper.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;IT IS questioning his patriotism to say he wants to “forfeit” in Iraq; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Specifically what McCain says is that Obama wants to “surrender” in Iraq, should that this highly qualified commander-in-chief material doesn’t understand the difference between withdrawal and surrender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The U.S. military has withdrawn from lots of positions when they became untennable and/or no longer strategically significant.  Any military that doesn’t is incompetent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The U.S. no longer has a vital interest at stake in Iraq.  In fact, we never did.  The mission’s stated objective had already been achieved by Bill Clinton before the mission began.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Pres.W has been talking to NO…I swear he is drunk telling folks all the things he had been predicted about bringing NO back.  Not make mistakes of the past; no low income housing but great mixed income neighborhoods.  The resident saying “We’re not back.”  Liar.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; this entire war was sold on bleeding-heart compassion. The coldest proponent of real-politik would have behaved more ethically than has the politics-and-punditry caste in the U.S. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i agree.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s face it, John McCain was the only presidential candidate in either party this year who had the qualifications to be president /s&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes.  What a resume:&lt;br /&gt;
– graduated near the bottom of his class&lt;br /&gt;
– got shot down multiple times&lt;br /&gt;
– signed an anti-America confession:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further injuries led to the beginning of a suicide attempt, which was stopped by guards.[30] After four days, McCain made an anti-American propaganda “confession”. [Wikipedia]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;– commanded a training company for a year&lt;br /&gt;
– used his self-promoted celebrity to get elected to congress&lt;br /&gt;
– also to marry a wealthier wife&lt;br /&gt;
– and bring in lots of lobbyist money.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
