		<description>Let&#039;s not forget this the a guy who said &quot;I think when you spread the wealth around, it&#039;s good for everybody.&quot; in defense of his tax plan.. When killing UBL and passing a healthcare program (that 70% of Americans hate) are the only things you can run on... I&#039;ll be amazed if a Democrat doesn&#039;t take a run at this guy?</description>

		<description>@brian,

Ah, my Dartmouth friend!

I&#039;m glad we now have everything ironed out between us, though it is a sure thing that we shall ne&#039;er see eye-to-eye.

Cheers, mate.</description>

		<description>Chet,


 I could not agree more. 

And again to all on here, I am sorry to have offended you or belittled any of you.

 We are all in the same boat. Lets not sink it together by fighting each other.

Take care all.</description>

		<description>I usually don&#039;t comment much, but I will in this case.

In my opinion, the MAJORITY are disgruntled, upset and concerned.  Anger with regard to the way our country is moving, is not discriminatory.  Left, right, the middle...it affects us all.  

There are uneducated, ill informed and misunderstood in all classes, beliefs and spectrums.  None more than the other.

Many people are playing &quot;catch-up&quot; because they have not been paying attention, UNTIL NOW!  But the fact that they are no involved, should be encouraging.  And we should countiuing to encourage them, not belittle them.  Education, common sense and a past record of involvment are not requirements to be a patriot.  

Surely we all understand that the meida (and youtube junkies) will focus on the people that will cause controversy, and therefore, sell.  It only takes a few to make the whole bunch look bad.  That is the case now, and that was the case several years ago.  Calm, informed, civilized people will not sell in the media, and will not get you hits on youtube.

You (generally speaking here) can search all day on the internet, you can listen to all the T.V. and cable shows you want and you will never be truely informed.

The best way to be informed (which is still not full-proof) is to look at the voting records of those we elect.  Actions speak louder than words.

The bottom line?  Take away all the anger, disgust and heated discussions and you will probably find that we all have more in common than not.  

We don&#039;t like the shape our country is in, and we don&#039;t trust those who run it.

Have a nice day all!</description>

		<description>Chet,


 Thanks for the update.  You are more than welcome to remove the responses following it.

and to all the people here, I am truly sorry to have offended you all.

I am also truly sorry to have offended the former Vet. Please know that I am GRATEFUL for what you did for this country. I PROMISE you that.

I just feel that this country is moving in a direction where if you don&#039;t agree with the majority then you are labeled a communist, socialist, liberal... etc etc etc


So to all of you whom I may have offended; I am sorry.

I am also sorry that I called a majority of the Teabaggers foolish. I was truly disgruntled with the lack of knowledge as to why they are there screaming liberty. I&#039;ve seen it firsthand when I attended a rally, and it was scary to see so many people ill informed (in a lot of ways).

And Donald. Please accept my apology for coming off as an elitist. Or even accusing you of being a republican. I felt as if what I had read of your material was more party aligned than not. And when you resorted to personal attacks on grammar and the likes.... Well I just wont go there.

Cheers to you all! Have a good weekend.</description>

		<description>Brian:

All comments that have more than one link automatically go into a que for release, due to the heavy spamming of things like Viagra promotions, sexual content, etc.  This is a standard that is widely practiced.  You are free to speak as you wish, your post was released.

Sorry for the delay, but we do not monitor this 24 hours a day, seven days a week.</description>
