Our Party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. And that man is John Kerry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith, and service because they’ve defined his life. From his heroic service to Vietnam, to his years as a prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he's devoted himself to this country. Again and again, we’ve seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His values and his record affirm what is best in us. John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded; so instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he offers them to companies creating jobs here at home.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren’t held hostage to the profits of oil companies, or the sabotage of foreign oil fields.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Kerry believes in the Constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties, nor use faith as a wedge to divide us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#753706</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:27:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:753706</guid><dc:creator>Brian Lamers, Houston Tx</dc:creator><description>McCain has ties to lobbyists? Say it ain't so! All those earmarks he includes in bills must be to pay off to the lobbyists. Wait, McCain doesn't do any earmarks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And about the tanker plane. America is getting a better product for the money, and doing most of the assembly work in the US. McCain gave the taxpayers their money's worth, unlike like protectionists Clinton and Obama would do.</description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#753739</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:34:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:753739</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corps christi texas</dc:creator><description>The Washington Post seems to be as desperate as The Clinton's, having to dig back a LONGGGGGG time to find something juicy about John McCain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John McCain releases his medical records....&lt;br&gt;Now If only Hillary will release her tax records....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#753782</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:42:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:753782</guid><dc:creator>Amy Andersen, Eden Prairie, MN </dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;I have more scars than Frankenstein.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;-- John McCain&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A hundred years of war, tied to lobbyists, and same old republican economics -- more scary than Frankenstein, that’s for sure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama/Webb 08&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#753858</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:55:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:753858</guid><dc:creator>Class Warrior, D.C.</dc:creator><description>You mean the Cubans didn't waterboard him?!? &amp;nbsp;Maybe they considered that inhumane torture that never really results in accurate information. &amp;nbsp;I didn't think a banana republic like that could be more moral and outwit us like that...Maybe Mccainadunable should've voted that the Cubans use waterboarding, too...</description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#753986</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:18:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:753986</guid><dc:creator>Dave, Tn</dc:creator><description>Well when you need a story on a Republican go back to your base the communist party. </description></item><item><title>McCain: Those lobbyist ties...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/11/753658.aspx#754091</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:33:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:754091</guid><dc:creator>Nicholas: Minnesota</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Top current advisers to Sen.
