TAKE HEED OF THE BELOW:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The republican party have no ideals of their own. But yet they continue to bash Obama.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you watched the RNC convention. You should have notice, they took (STOLE) all of Baracks ideals and&lt;br&gt;talking points. They implemented (STOLE) everything from the DNC convention with a twist and turn, but still could not top the DNC. American, please DO NOT be fooled by the RNC Karl Rove tactic. This race is about our children's future and American.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain offer up no real solutions to the American people, yet riding on the coat-tail of Barack Obama. They say Barack can't lead, but McCain is study following Barracks lead. Q: WHO IS THE LEADER? McCain played on the sympathy vote. Though McCain's service is commendable. We were flooded with the POW story every single night.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain even went so far as to say in his speech. It doesn't matter who&lt;br&gt;came up with the ideal (CHANGE).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What he was say in this statement was I STOLE your message of change, and you can't do anything about it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here we have the out and out right lying republicans. That introduce the american people to an unknown Gov. Palin, which is under all kinds of investigation. They don't want the media to interview her. Why? Because they are running out of campaign funds and want to use the media as free advertisement. How the media is fallen for this garbage is beyond me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The media should vet Gov. Palin, just as they did with every other candidate. As she had the nerve to challage the media. Who do she thing she is? We need to know what make her so different. They hound the heck out of Barack Obama for over 18 mos. She is running for the 2nd highest office in the nation and the American people have every right to know who she is and want make her tick and her views on all the issue.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With that said, I don't know how so many people who claim to be so educationed can buy into this garbage that the republicans are trying to sale.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The media should dig into her back ground hard and heavy and should not drag their feet. They owe it to the American people. I do agree her children have nothing to do with the issue.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My question to you the American people. When you have a chance to choose an original. Are you going to pick the copy? I don't think SO. NOT THIS TIME.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/MCPALIN</description></item><item><title>Palin brings aboard two Bush veterans</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/06/1358093.aspx#1358148</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:36:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1358148</guid><dc:creator>Justy, CA</dc:creator><description>For someone who is trying to get away from the bush administration he sure is bringing the lot of them on b oard. &amp;nbsp;Hypocrites!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is an off-hand analogy for you:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;this election is like Monsters, Inc. &amp;nbsp;They get energy by scaring kids but realize they get more by happiness and laughter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The GOP energizes america by scaring them. &amp;nbsp;The Democrats realize you can energize america more by lifting them up with hope.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pass it around...its simple and easy to understand. &amp;nbsp;Its a moral of a story but more importantly, its the moral for america to follow.</description></item><item><title>Palin brings aboard two Bush veterans</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/06/1358093.aspx#1358151</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:37:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1358151</guid><dc:creator>Mary, Warwick RI</dc:creator><description>BUSH, BUSH AND MORE BUSH OR SHOULD I SAY ROVE?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DO MCBUSH/PALIN ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS CHANGE!!

Obama-Biden are correct. If you support McCain-Palin, you support 4 more years of Bush! I sure hope small- town, working-class America is paying attention.</description></item><item><title>Palin brings aboard two Bush veterans</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/06/1358093.aspx#1358167</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:40:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1358167</guid><dc:creator>reality check</dc:creator><description>So this is like putting a dress and lipstick on Bush</description></item><item><title>Palin brings aboard two Bush veterans</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/06/1358093.aspx#1358170</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2008 19:40:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1358170</guid><dc:creator>Mark Thieme</dc:creator><description>&lt;br&gt;Speaking of narrative (aren't we always, you know, creating one?)...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The great Henry Miller was once commissioned by a publisher to create (perhaps autobiographically) an &amp;quot;Horatio Alger&amp;quot; story. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The kind of Hallmark card the folks in the cheap seats get teary-eyed over. Perhaps a heartrending Guideposts cover story like the saccharine-rich Sarah Palin rags-to-riches epic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Henry got a little upset about that. &amp;nbsp;Couldn't live with creating such tripe, even though he needed the money. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Apparently, though, there is still enough gold in them hills to inspire the dreams of a whole army of MSM/PR &amp;quot;burlesque&amp;quot; queens...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Henry wrote this back to the editors:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;	&amp;quot;I'll give you an Horatio Alger book .. . just you wait! My head was in a whirl leaving his office. I saw the army of men, women and children that had passed through my hands, saw them weeping, begging, beseeching, imploring, cursing, spitting, fuming, threatening. I saw the tracks they left on the highways, the freight trains lying on the floor, the parents in rags, the coal box empty, the sink running over, the walls sweating and between the cold beads of sweat the cockroaches running like mad; I saw them hobbling along like twisted gnomes or falling backwards in the epileptic frenzy, the mouth twitching, the saliva pouring from the lips, the limbs writhing; I saw the walls giving way and the pest pouring out like a winged fluid, and the men higher up with their ironclad logic, waiting for it to blow over, waiting for everything to be patched up, waiting, waiting contentedly, smugly, with big cigars in their mouths and their feet on the desk, saying things were temporarily out of order. I saw the Horatio Alger hero, the dream of a sick American, mounting higher and--higher, first messenger, then operator, then manager, then chief, then superintendent, then vice-president, then president, then trust magnate, then beer baron, then Lord of all the Americas, the money god, the god of gods, the clay of clay, nullity on high, zero with ninety-seven thousand decimals fore and aft. You shits, I said to myself, I will give you the picture of twelve little men, zeros without decimals, ciphers, digits, the twelve uncrushable worms who are hollowing out the base of your rotten edifice. I will give you Horatio Alger as he looks the day after the Apocalypse, when all the stink has cleared away.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Henry Miller, from The Tropic of Capricorn&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, he was a just a weird novelist, never had a Maserati...

McCain/Palin, you can't pretend to be an agent of change when you walked side by side with Bush and supported him over 90% of the time during the last eight years. I'm sorry...you have had your chance and you screwed it up. Now it's time for a real change in Obama/Biden. People will not be fooled this time around!</description></item><item><title>Palin brings aboard two Bush veterans</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/06/1358093.aspx#1358315</link><pubDate>Sat, 06 Sep 2008 20:13:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1358315</guid><dc:creator>FL</dc:creator><description>What happened to this so called change?

We knew it was just a matter of time the McCain campaign would have to peel off its fa&amp;#231;ade and America would see G W Bush staring at us. They are as far removed from his policies and him as the right side of their mouths to the left side. When they stand up in front of the cameras and declare Washington is broken they are speaking from the left side, and when they go behind the podium for props, policy briefing, campaign funding and procedures they use the right side. America is so tired of these horrible eight years we cannot afford another four years of GWB. All they have to offer is more of the same. NO THANK YOU!&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
