Merle Stanley, Westchester, NY</dc:creator><description>I've said this before and I'll say it again........John McCain has absolutely NO chance whatsoever of becoming President. 
People saw him allow the Bush camp to push him and his family around in 2000. 
They saw him disavow any "kinship" with a fellow Vietnam Veteran in 2004, and they saw him flip flop from disagreeing with Bush on just about everything in 2000, to becoming one of his chief congressional apologists throughout Bush's tenure. 
Now, he is once again distancing himself from Bush in an attempt to re-invent his 'persona' before 2008.
Uh,uh, we aint that stupid. It aint gonna work.
In fact, Obama has a better chance than McCain does, and that really isn't saying much.</description></item><item><title>Oh-Eight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/27/15789.aspx#15936</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Nov 2006 01:25:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:15936</guid><dc:creator>American in West Texas, El Paso TX</dc:creator><description>GOP needs a new moderate face, but who may that be?

He should openly lay out his plans how to come out of Bush's misadventure in Iraq. Above all he should convince the younger generation that there is hope in him for the country. </description></item><item><title>Oh-Eight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/27/15789.aspx#211596</link><pubDate>Sat, 02 Jun 2007 10:41:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:211596</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><description>Wij vonden de beste hits voor jouw!</description></item><item><title>Oh-Eight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/27/15789.aspx#258757</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jul 2007 16:08:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:258757</guid><dc:creator>Tess, Seattle, Washington</dc:creator><description>It is about time that some light is being shined on subjects such as AIDS and global heath issue. &amp;nbsp;As one of the nation pledge to fullfill the goals of the millennium development project, US has done very little to achieve them. &amp;nbsp;According to the Borgen Project, whose purpose is to fight global poverty, it only takes $19 billion dollars annually to end world hunger and $23 billion dollars to stop the spread of AIDS and Malaria. &amp;nbsp;However, our government has already spent $340 billion dollars on the war in Iraq. &amp;nbsp;As caring and responsible citizens, it is time for us to support the candidates that cares about these important domestic and global issue. &amp;nbsp;We should support someone who is willing to commit to taking actions against global poverty. </description></item><item><title>Oh-Eight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/27/15789.aspx#259302</link><pubDate>Thu, 05 Jul 2007 21:08:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:259302</guid><dc:creator>Josh  Rock Island, Illinois</dc:creator><description>What this country needs is someone who still respects the constitution on which it was founded. &amp;nbsp;As Ron Paul is the only canidate willing to stick to his guns on this issue (and a good conservative tas well) I will be supporting him.</description></item><item><title>Oh-Eight</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/11/27/15789.aspx#282080</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:26:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:282080</guid><dc:creator>Rich Johnson</dc:creator><description>You didn't cover Tommy Thompson? &amp;nbsp;Why not? &amp;nbsp;Don't you think adequate journalism requires discussing his policies and covering his campaign?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Say what you like, Tommy Thompson has two abilities George Bush does not. &amp;nbsp;He can recognize political reality. &amp;nbsp;He can recognize reality. &amp;nbsp;And he is able to act accordingly. &amp;nbsp;For that reason alone, Thompson is head and shoulders above the current field and not half the embarrassment that is the current DC Establishment. &amp;nbsp;He is nothing if not authentic, unlike Fred Thompson's fauxiness/folksiness. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At MINIMUM you owe the American people adequate coverage until they can hear ALL the candidates and make THEIR choice.</description></item></channel></rss>
