We might as well have the American Idol winner be president, they'd probably do a better job then Party Boy Obama would ever do. I didn't realize America was looking for their own Princess Di. With Obama, now they have that. I hope he fills the big gap those people have in their retched little lives.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Your partisan divide </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/30/1614302.aspx#1614384</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:35:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1614384</guid><dc:creator>cindy, Las Vegas, Nv</dc:creator><description>I've been to Obama rallies here in Vegas, and the energy is unbelievable!!!!!!!!! &amp;nbsp;And there were more white people than others. &amp;nbsp;I am so proud to be an American when I attend these rallies. &amp;nbsp;The Hope is awesome. &amp;nbsp;Here in Vegas we started voting on the 18th. &amp;nbsp;I hope we turn this state blue!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama/Biden 08/12</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Your partisan divide </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/30/1614302.aspx#1614390</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:36:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1614390</guid><dc:creator>the Pajama Pundit</dc:creator><description>While the racists are out there, I think that McCain might actually be correct on this one. &amp;nbsp;Some folks may not vote for Obama based on the color of his skin -- but I think most Americans, if they actually look at the issues, will get past that pettiness and vote their pocketbook.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe I'm an optimist. &amp;nbsp;I certainly HOPE that's what most Americans will do...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://thepajamapundit.com/"&gt;http://thepajamapundit.com/&lt;/a&gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Your partisan divide </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/30/1614302.aspx#1614412</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:38:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1614412</guid><dc:creator>Eric, Salinas, CA</dc:creator><description>While Obama fans engage in a frenzy of hope the McNasty fanatics are whipped into a frenzy of hate. &amp;nbsp;We need a lot less hate in our divided country and it's never going to come from the evangelical christian lunatic fringe who go against their lying bible and perpetrate hate instead of hope.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We need less Joe the Plumbers who are only taking advantage of this election to get themselves record deals when they stink at singing or book deals when they have nothing to say. &amp;nbsp;Money first, country last. &amp;nbsp;Joe the Plumber ought to go to prison until he pays his taxes that he's been a deadbeat paying.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Go Obama/Biden 08/12!</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Your partisan divide </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/30/1614302.aspx#1614446</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:42:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1614446</guid><dc:creator>Brian, Girard, OH</dc:creator><description>People cannot &amp;quot;summon&amp;quot; good reasons or reasonable explinations as to why they do not support Obama because they are easily duped into the LIE that is the McCain campaign.

After years and years of rule in Washington, the chickens are finally coming home to roost.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm not the least bit afraid of a totally Democratic Washington come January, 2009. &amp;nbsp;They can't possibly do anymore damage to this country than Bush and his buddies have done over the last 8 years. Between the economy, two wars with casualities upwards of 4500, our standing in the world, and so much more, we've got to get totally rid of the Republicans and start fresh. &amp;nbsp;Yes, America needs an enigma to get rid of the divisive, greedy, selfishness of the right and in just 5 days, we'll have it. Enough with them. They had their chance and gave America nothing but scandals and debt.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is no way America should consider voting for McCain - who as the days go by, his campaign gets sloppier and sloppier. Palin is a ditz opportunist just like Joe the unlicensed plumber. They can all get raked up and shipped out with the rest of the Republican garbage!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama-Biden '08!

Its the GOP that brought us the debate over torture. Its the GOP that fires up its base with accusations of their opponents' lack of patriotism, etc. Its the GOP that constantly resorts to fear.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All of this strikes me as blatantly un-American.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Your partisan divide </title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/30/1614302.aspx#1614595</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:56:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1614595</guid><dc:creator>Pat Huntington NY</dc:creator><description>McCain's rallies look more like mobs getting ready for a good old fashioned lynching!</description></item></channel></rss>
