And everybody knows the Clintons are tough, and they're going to do tough things along the process. She's not alone in that regard. But we'll see what the tolerance level of the American people really is.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is a serious conservative who knows what we are up against.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Listen up!&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Thompson's Iowa closing tour</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/19/526899.aspx#527217</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Dec 2007 04:11:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:527217</guid><dc:creator>Tim, CT</dc:creator><description>on energy, thompson is right.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.secureenergy.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Energy Security Leadership Council says 25 years of real effort and we're still dependent on foreign oil. &amp;nbsp;With a massive effort to move vehicles from oil to, say, fuel cells... maybe sooner. &amp;nbsp;But five years (i haven't seen Huckabee say that) is absurd. &amp;nbsp;It really is. &amp;nbsp;Going to the moon was easier because we were building one vehicle (ok, several). &amp;nbsp;But this requires a replacement of probably 100,000,000 cars that are on the road.</description></item><item><title>Thompson's Iowa closing tour</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/19/526899.aspx#527306</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Dec 2007 06:11:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:527306</guid><dc:creator>Imogene Wilson, Selah, Wa. </dc:creator><description> Think he is can go far. not sure yet </description></item><item><title>Thompson's Iowa closing tour</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/19/526899.aspx#527430</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Dec 2007 11:48:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:527430</guid><dc:creator>just a reminder,, Fact</dc:creator><description>Attention::&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shall we Gather at the River to was away our Sins?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Be the truth, Everyone has a ax to grind with Washington!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet meaningless and the standard phrase &amp;quot;&amp;quot;I'll look into it&amp;quot;&amp;quot; is the classic rhetorical all Washington self serving paper hangers use to side step issue!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Candor and yes &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Never show get out of my face&amp;quot;&amp;quot; that will turn the whole cart up side down!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The professional Politics and those who self serve are well practiced professional liars. As this Congress openly defies the voice of the People. Both sides of the isle fill the room with conjecture and agenda which brings more deflection to reality. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The very shame is , they want you to again vote for a new breed of President. One of Past and the accomplished failed of the present &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Clinton's&amp;quot;&amp;quot;, Americans are to short minded as to the damage of moral being this nation suffered while they plopped down in the White House. Yet today the total voting conjecture which comes along with the want to be the next President. One moment Yes, next NO.
