      <description>&lt;p&gt;That was ugly.  There&amp;#8217;s no reason why &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CD1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;New cards will be hacked within a month, and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt; the &amp;#8220;secret&amp;#8221; information hidden in the card will be made public within 6 months.  New anti-counterfitting features rendered &amp;#8220;useless&amp;#8221;,  millions of taxpayer dollars down the tube.  Yay bureaucracy!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Read Greg Palast&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Armed Madhouse&amp;#8221; to find out why this woman should not run the cash register at the local McDonald&amp;#8217;s.  No offense to people that work at McDonald&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;benefit of the doubt&amp;#8221;?  Why does the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GOP&lt;/span&gt; get a pass on these?  What would happen if a Democrat said this?&lt;br /&gt;This was a leading Republican candidate for President.  Possibly 2nd only to McCain.  And this is the first thing that pops into his mind when he hears a strange noise?  &amp;#8220;Obama is getting shot&amp;#8221;?  It is what it is.  And it stinks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;One possible case out of 100 complaints, and it&amp;#8217;s one guy who signed up &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TWO&lt;/span&gt; illegal signatures.  No ties to the Democratic Party, no real plan to commit actual &amp;#8220;voter fraud&amp;#8221;.  Had they maybe layed low a while and investigated further maybe they can tie this guy to higher ups or to a larger more coordinated effort&amp;#8230;  Instead they jump the gun just so they can scream at the &amp;#8220;evil liberals&amp;#8221; and gain a few votes&amp;#8230;. Quite possibly the 800 needed to beat Madrid.  Party of values my ass&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;And for those of you who missed it:&lt;br /&gt;McCain doesn&amp;#8217;t know the difference between Sunni and Shia and Iranian Insurgents and Iraqi Extremists and Al Qaeda.  Three times he repeated his ignorant statements regarding those factions.  And this is the man that will be sending your children to the Middle East to protect our military bases that are not wanted there, to protect oil that does not belong to us, to protect &amp;#8220;democratic&amp;#8221; governments put in place by us&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;cutting wasteful spending and to continue his support for the war on terror&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Good luck with that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
