		<description>&lt;p&gt;I would like John McCain to address why he refuses to allow his POW records to be released. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During his POW days, McCain regularly collaborated with the Communists to help the Communists murder American fliers. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the extent of his collaboration and granting assistance to the enemy remains a mystery to the American people so long as McCain, exercising his rights under the ‘McCain Act’, refuses to permit his records to be released.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only by reviewing his POW records will show America if John McCain is a Traitor that gives aid and comfort to the Communists, or if wrecking 5 airplanes during his military service makes him a war hero.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are a couple links to stories debunking the myth that Senator McCain (R-Arizona) votes to support our troops with his votes in the US Senate. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Who supports American Troops by voting for bills to help our Troops and Vets in the US Senate?&lt;br /&gt;
Ask the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Disabled Veterans of America, Vietnam Veterans of America, American Legion, Vote Vets, or the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the unanimous answer is –&lt;br /&gt;
Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois), of course!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;So George Will believes every single White Person is racist?&lt;br /&gt;
What an ignorant fool!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is a sign of lazy thinking to lump all Mexicans together as being identical, all Japanese together as identical, or any group of people as being identical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having voted 5 times for Republican candidates for President, I hope George Will says that Every Republican should vote for Obama because as a believer in Fiscally Responsible government, I have already sent in my Ballot registering my vote for Obama!&lt;br /&gt;
(The only time America has had a balanced budget since the Carter Administration was under Democrat Bill Clinton. Every Republican President since Reagan was a Borrow-and-Spend Republican!)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I like Obama am of a mixed race but thats where it ends,I am American Indian and white and I hate that race keeps coming to play when so much more is to look at here such as the fact this man came almost out of no where with little experience!! And more scary is we still dont even know if he was really born here! Now Im no bible thumper or Republican but i do know this much,MCcain is the lesser of 2 evils and he is no Bush as the democratic’s try so hard to drill in Americans hearts and minds!!I also feel fully that some of the money being raised for Obama is coming from our very enemies that wish to see our end!They like many Americans are so attracted to this Messiah like being that some are even clling him that,Scary cause im not a bible person but i do know this much,the bible warns of this!!I want to believe that in the end the American people will not be decieved on election day that in the end they will choose experience and a proven background over a Man coming out of no where,with ties to our very own enemies and its been proven yet he so eloquently Lies and lies more,all the while mass amounts of human beings just keep buying the lies all because we are being fed by the media and large amounts of campaign money that its ok to over look the lies and the ties he really has because “he is gonna bring Change” Please people wake up and protect not only yourselves but your family and there family!! Im sure this what im writing will bring plenty of bad words to me but if it wakes up half the voters its worth it all!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t see color here. I see Powell in the same light as Judith Miller ex writer for the NYTimes.Shills for Bush/Cheney and the Iraq invasion.She is paying the price but she just got hired by Fox.Obama would be better off without the brother.Let him pay the price.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here’s your FACT CHECK…This is what I pulled off of the site :&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who is Barack Obama? A man with “a political baptism performed at warp speed.” Vast ambition. After college, he moved to Chicago. Became a community organizer. There, Obama met Madeleine Talbot, part of the Chicago branch of ACORN. He was so impressive that he was asked to train the ACORN staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What did ACORN in Chicago engage in? Bullying banks. Intimidation tactics. Disruption of business. ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we’re in today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No wonder Obama’s campaign is trying to distance him from the group, saying, “Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.” But Obama’s ties to ACORN run long and deep. He taught classes for ACORN. They even endorsed him for President.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But now ACORN is in trouble.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reporter: There are at least 11 investigations across the country involving thousands of potentially fraudulent ACORN forms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Announcer: Massive voter fraud. And the Obama campaign paid more than $800,000 to an ACORN front for get out the vote efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pressuring banks to issue risky loans. Nationwide voter fraud. Barack Obama. Bad judgment. Blind ambition. Too risky for America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It appears Obama is a dirty politician, no matter how much he tries to sugar coat things.  You will all see in due time if he is voted into office.  Just wait.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Fucking retarded.  If this wasn’t about race, then, Obama wouldn’t be only concerned with the black voters’ quotas of registered vs. unregistered voters.  I don’t see him advertising on the Spanish Channel, trying to get their votes…or the Home and garden channel trying that, either.  Point is…we are at WAR, people.  With MUSLIMS.  What is Obama’s religious background???  MUSLIM.  If you want to know where all thos “unaccounted” for campaign contributions came for, you probably will never know, because terrorists won’t want the American people knowing they are putting one of their own in OUR office!  Go ahead…vote your enemy into office to control YOUR country if you want to.  I’m a Republican…and last I chcked, that stood for “for the people.”  Democrat means “let the government control everything.”  This is what your race for presidence SHOULD be about…not making skin color history.  Get your heads out of your asses, people.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
