I am no fan of Clinton, and as a lifelong democrat, have a real problem with the prospect of voting for her. But, hey, let's do the same with Mitt! This phoney empty-suited pretty boy &amp;nbsp;would be the ideal republican nominee. His tax plan for the middle class is more republican garbage - throwing the rabble a bone so the wealthy can continue to rape the nation.</description></item><item><title>Romney, Brownback in SC</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/16/320350.aspx#320456</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:12:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:320456</guid><dc:creator>facetious</dc:creator><description>Middle class tax relief, no tax on interest, capital gains and dividents, Romney you rock!
