      <description><![CDATA[Not that I wanted it there.

I think you need to use proper terms and you`d make more sense.


The phone co, the cable co, the utility co`s (especially them) ALL tack on stuff all the time. 

I have a problem with ALL income taxes. A national sales tax maybe not so much or a FAIRLY arranged flat tax.

I`m not for taxing some items more than others in regards to cigarettes and such. 


I think the federal income tax violates the original constitution but I could be wrong about that..]]></description>

BUT (you knew that was coming)

If Michelle Obama had been part of some fringe outfit to make Illinois a separatist black state and to make it secede from the union to do so....you`d be all over it.

Damaging her credibility as a nonpartisan election administrator,


Undermining the integrity of the vote, and

      <description><![CDATA[Because it is so overblown and exagerated that NO ONE could take it seriously.

Obviously the thought of talk show hosts and sensationalists.


How do you think your scenario would come to play. You think Americans would buy into that? I think we`re electing a President here not a dictator. Whoever gets in it doesn`t automatically change our constitutional process or automatically rewrite the bill of rights.

If anyone tried to do this stuff it is the CLOWNS that are in there now (except they aren`t funny ones)

They are the ones who gave law enforcement the big cake of unlimited surveillance that they`ve wanted for years.YOU YOURSELF have advocated violence and attacks towards those who disagree with BOOSH (TOTAL POS).

The only reason McCain will lose this election which he COULD have won in a landslide once upon a time is because of POS BUSH.


Thank you for supporting this fraud and man who had no business EVER being PResident and was put there by name recognition and an attempt at national division.

(at least you got that)]]></description>
