		<description><![CDATA[MegaDittos. 

I would also like to add that these people might vote, and then the GOP might never win another election and polls would have to count Lil Wayne as a likey voter. 

There isn&#039;t a problem in the world that can&#039;t be solved with a F-22, except rain. How many likely voters did we prevent from spuriting through the cracks with that nifty diversion?

This is about election results, which is the greatest extent to which democracy can be expressed in this nation, and every GOP model for winning rests on low voter turnout, every GOP polling firm undercounts non-whites and women as not likely voters, so really un-people with un-interests. If only White voters voted in 2008 then John McCain would have won a LANDSLIDE election with 54% of the vote. If only wealthy White People voted, then we really might have that Nationalist Socialist Dictatorship with the GOP crowning 66-70% of the vote, that FOX keeps accusing Obama of running. 

Representative Democracy is supposed to reflect the interests of all the people. When you are White, Male, and have a little tucked away, you are more likely to vote and give time and money to politicians so now we have a  a refraction of reality instead of a reflection of the population in our democratic republic, so the results of the endevour serve only nterests of 5% of the population and those goals and priorities govern the rest of us. This is ass backwards. Not a freemarket of ideas. A spoils system dupololy that Jefferson knew need to be tended to and fixed constantly so that we can remain free, but that means including all of the people this Union is for, by and, of and that means bringing the poor to the table via health and education so they can participate effectively, and it shouldn&#039;t matter if you are rich or poor, we should all have equal access under the law, all man made problems have man made solutions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Health care might help poor people... and most especially, COLORED poor people. Very Serious commentators who know and understand these issues can&#039;t have that. If a poor person dies of cancer because they can&#039;t afford medical bills, then maybe they just shouldn&#039;t have gotten cancer in the first place! They had a choice not to!

2. Wars are awesome.... Especially if they bring freedom (bombs) and democracy (missles) to Ay-rabs and other weird foreign peoples who aren&#039;t white and don&#039;t speak Gods chosen language of English. As a side note, wars also provide great masturbating material for Bill Kristol who likes his air strikes with a little bit of freedom lube on the side. Health care on the other hand just can&#039;t provide that kind of intense action.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;The Catholic Church lasted hundreds of years on tithes. Why should government be a bigger religion?&lt;/i&gt;

No, not a religion - the opposite: Caesar. 

And the reason: because the government does more than the Church, and so requires more.  But if you want to talk cutting the massive military budget some, I&#039;m with you comrade.]]></description>
