		<description>&lt;p&gt;Face it — the “liberals” and “conservatives” are only such UNTIL their ox is being gored.  (In many cases.)  Yes, the white boy lawyers who screamed when right-wingers whined about their rights being taken away — are now whining themselves.  (And since when is it a RIGHT to be considered first for any post, just because you are white?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey boys!  How does it feel?  How about getting some spine there?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Taken in context, it could be used as (as an example) that Judge Sotomayor might well have voted with Justice Ginsberg in support of Lily Ledbetter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is the most prominent example of how being a woman with some empathy and knowledge of the real world comes into play for me.  I’m sure I can come up with more examples if I felt like doing the necessary research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Would you prefer more stealth candidates like John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who vote as doctrinaire conservatives, even after claiming to believe in Stare Decsis?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Quote: ‘THE DOOMED REMNANTS OF THE REJECTED PARTY OF BIGOTRY, HYPOCRISY AND FAILURE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What’s left of today’s GOP is a genetically and or psychologically deviant mélange of morally and ethically defective mutants, miscreants and kamikaze loyalists who are crashing and burning all things Republican. They are the figurative buzzards and hyenas fighting over the last scraps of a carcass riddled with maggots and festering clumps of putrefied viscera. They are the opportunistic parasites whose very existence is and always has been dependent on sucking blood from the engorged bellies of alpha predators. The prevalence of fear, paranoia and irrational hatred in today’s GOP represents the antemortem gasps of a doomed species struggling to survive in evaporating pools of their own toxic waste as they mercilessly slice and dice one another in futile attempts to become the biggest fish in an increasingly smaller and smaller pond.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May I quote you?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;true true, I don’t mean to be sounding like I’m arguing with you, was trying to give you an explanation why he wasn’t considered the first Hispanic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To some, Hispanic is someone from Latin America, to others; someone from the Iberian Pennisula -and he is of there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No doubt back then, his Jewish ancestry was the Big Deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;–And this is the point where I suggest you do an Oxdown diary, it would be enlightening ;)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
