		<description>Got to love the Repubs, they just lie lie, and deny, and then distract, so they can sneak and perpetrate, and lie some more, then shift the blame to the other team!  It&#039;s such a lovely strategy, they&#039;re so upstanding the way the represent the will of the people, don&#039;t you think?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Honestly, immigration related amendments,  and TARP junk, and ACORN amendments (ACORN is a novel&#039;s worth in itself, the GOP&#039;s newly invented boogieman, ACORN, so many many lies they&#039;ve invented on that issue,  I recommend watching &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDxm--DyavI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDxm--DyavI&lt;/a&gt; to learn more), none of this junk belongs in the unemployment bill.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Actually,I don&#039; t agree with anyone adding unrelated crap, to a bill this essential to ending the suffering of so many Americans!  Please Senate, put your pet issues up for a vote another time, not this time, not at the expense of 7,000 folks a day going penniless, not at the cost of 1.3 million Americans going hungry and homeless!  Not today!  Not while you pass billions in corporate fat cat raises for your buddies in the banks, wall street, and corporate America, and raises for your staff, not while you sit comfortably living off of what WE PAY YOU!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for the GOP, they&#039;re just sticking to the same old political games that are the reason that the  American dream is currently in a coma!  They want to blame the Dems, while they perpetrate, banking on the fact that most Americans will continue to do as they did for decades, and just watch a GOP tainted news report here or there, and never check the facts, never watch c-span two to see for themselves what&#039;s really going on, and not read the language of the bills and amendments for themselves. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; I say, READ, WATCH, and then you&#039;ll see right through their lies, and then WRITE, CALL, as much as possible, as many crooked politicians as possible, and let those suckers have it from every state, most especially Jon Kyl minority whip, who says we have all the time in the world, and that benefits have not ran out!  Also a main target should be the minority leader. They all deserve an earful, and also remember them on election day!  Make yourself a &quot;naught and nice&quot; list, so that you don&#039;t forget who&#039;s been good, and who gets fired, or accidentally vote for one of these suckers in the coming years for, God forbid president, or Vice Prez and kill us all!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;**&lt;b&gt;For more evil stopping fun, go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://republicansforrape.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;republicansforrape.org&lt;/a&gt; to find out which 30 evil fine outstanding rich white men from the GOP voted against a law that would stop the federal government from contracting with those who make their female employees sign a &quot;rape clause&quot;, which forbids them from taking legal action if they are raped on the job!!  Watch the woman&#039;s story who was gang raped by fellow employees while in IRAQ, working for a government hired defense contractor!  If you click the link marked &quot;legislators&quot; on the site, you will find the gorgeous faces of the fine members of the GOP who supported rapists, by voting against the law, and if you hover over their lovely pictures, it has their phone numbers so you can call personally, and send them your thanks for protecting us against rapists.  Tell them how much you think that&#039;s in line with those ever so wholesome Christian values they pretend to have when it&#039;s convenient.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Its been the same on here for weeks. Everyone is ready to storm the capital but very little is known about this issue in the main stream media. There just aren&#039;t enough people suffering for them to do anything. This all has to do with the fu..ing health care debate going on. Dems are equally as responsible. Reid has no balls. The Dems need a majority whip who can whip some ass and get things done. Of course who the hell knows where the president is.</description>
