		<description>Hi - You said: "But I think the battle that Obama is going through with Clinton will make him stronger and give him some much needed experience."

Well, what does it say that the candidate who touts experience is taking a beating from the candidate who is supposed to wish for "much needed experience"?

How much experience did George Bush need to steal not one but two elections?  And how much experience did he need to wreck the economy?

It is obvious to me that Barack Obama has far more experience now than the sitting President.  And each day he will gain more.</description>

		<description>Yes, I'm hoping that the alternative fuels can become more practical and eventually scaled up so that they can actually have a significant effect on reducing fossil fuel consumption. This could keep oil prices in check while also reducing the temptation for governments to interfere in Middle Eastern politics.</description>

		<description>Huckabee  is still in there because Conservatives have a voice that will push McCain closer to them whether he admits it or not.  Huckabee is a voice to sstay out there for the Republican party and has now commented on the latetest entry in the race. Huckabee  stated "I think it always would probably pull votes away from the Democrats, not the Republicans, so naturally Republicans would welcome his entry into the race and hope that maybe a few more will join in," he told CNN. 

Sorry to say that IS what will happen and the country will not be any better off.  Green Party deserves to run a candidate when we have those in power in the congress as well.  A loner President will not have the backing to do what he may want, however good it may be.</description>

		<title>Comment on Romney Takes One For The Team by Danny Vice</title>

		<description>have a question for Conservatives who claim that there is something honorable about not voting for McCain. Who spend more of their time beating down a fellow Republican, while ignoring the extreme liberal forces that are about to kick their butts completely out of every branch of government. 

This is not just about who will be President for 4 years.  There is a movement afoot to wipe conservative thought completely from all aspects of public life....  While conservatives sit home and complain.   

You'll trade 50% of McCains ear for zip out of the liberal who is convinced any kind of conservative thought is archaic.  Great strategy! 

What is honorable about sitting on your butt at home, refusing to vote – allowing all branches of government to be swarmed by RABIDLY liberal opponents who have vowed to undo everything conservatives have fought to achieve over the past decade?

I hear endless whining and griping from Conservatives – while the extreme liberals, who are bent on reversing every conservative principal – out number us at the polls nearly two to one.  Is that principal or  do conservatives just have a death wish to see our country turn to the extreme left (who has no problem getting their hind ends to the polls)..

What is so conservative about beating down the (soon to be) nominee who supports our troops, instead of the extreme liberals who insult our troops and degrade them every single day in front of the entire world?

By punishing John McCain for not being conservative enough – you are really punishing all conservatives by making absolutely sure they will be governed by radical, rabid liberalism for the next 4 to 8 years.

By stomping your feet and refusing to help, you in turn assure that the laws of the land will have few conservatives in a position of power to stop a runaway liberal train that will further infiltrate our school, explode your tax burden and socialize every part of your life it can.

If you must be dragged to the polls, then don’t bother complaining when our courts are swarmed by the liberals who will put judges in power.  

Please think twice before punishing the rest of us conservatives, who may not love McCain, but are smart enough to realize the living nightmare that will ensue, if things continue on the path they are going.  

I see nothing conservative about being so focused on the anthill, you completely ignore the volcano that’s about to wipe your entire cause out.  That is not principal.  That’s political suicide.  Will conservatives ever learn?.

		<title>Comment on Tax Rebate Passes Congress by Tony Iovino</title>

		<description>It is not a tax rebate when people who haven't paid taxes are getting a check.

It is not a tax rebate when not all of the people who have paid tax are getting a check.

It is not a stimulus for our economy when most of the funds will wind up, through Hillary's friends at Walmart, in China.

It is not a stimulus for our economy in that I thought we had gotten past the old Keynesian theory of deficits stimulating the economy. We already have a $200 billion deficit-- how will more debt help?

If we are going to insist on burdening our children and grandchildren with more debt, the least we could do is build or repair some roads, or bridges, or help end our dependency on foreign oil by building more refineries or by slapping solar panels on every flat roof in America-- something that will help the next generation.

Anyone receiving this check should know what it is-- a welfare check drawn on our children's checking account.

This isn't just sour grapes--and on other sites I've received a lashing that anyone earning over $75,000 "doesn't need" a rebate. That's not the point. If the government is doling out a check based on "need"--then guess what? That's welfare. And they should have the guts to call it what it is.

Shame on every politician that supports this wasteful giveaway, and shame on every person who cashes the check.</description>

		<description>It's not about free speech Vince.  It's about celebrities ABUSING their celebrity status. The people have made them celebrities because they are good entertainers, not because we care about what their political views are.</description>

		<description>I agree Eddy. Those people who have debt and can't save money are going to spend the rebate checks which is just what the government is hoping will stimulate the economy.</description>
