		<description>I warned you ahead of this catastrophic economic meltdown, I must now warn you that what is ahead has the potential to be even more catastrophic than what we are going through now. The worlds geopolitical landscape has been booby trapped by the Bush McCain administration &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.roomfurniturechina.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bedroom furniture&lt;/a&gt; and their republican allies in congress. These booby traps are poised to spring at any time.</description>

		<description>The classic novel, Brave New World, was first published in 1932. The author, Aldous Huxley, conveyed the possible events that would take place if the government took complete control of our daily lives. He wrote in reflection of his own surroundings, of how his hometown of London may look in the year 2540, if they continued with the programs to end war, divergence, suffering, and unreceptive ruling. It defines exactly how everyday lives would be like, with no ability to utilize their voice or live the way they choose to live. This brought a large number of criticisms knocking on Huxley’s door. Conversely, many of the same seeds have been planted in America, which have created a similar scare as was in the classic piece of literature. Although the socialist and the communist movements have been around for several generations in America, it hasn’t taken much prevalence until this one. It’s preposterous that politicians are trying to put a great number of things under the exclusive control of the government. Let’s take the state of California for instance. In some parts of Los Angeles, dishonest officials have put restrictions on various areas, forbidding where fast food restaurants are allowed to set up new shops. That’s right. You can’t have a hamburger in certain places in South Los Angeles, whether you like it or not. On top of the petty matters they base their focus on, they intend to stretch out even further and conquer more than what they currently control. State and national politicians are trying to remove the admission to fast and easy payday loans, only to assemble enough votes to carry out their own self-interest. Undoubtedly, this further proves our government’s intention to stringently control our daily lives.&lt;br&gt;Post Courtesy of Personal Money Store&lt;br&gt;Professional Blogging Team&lt;br&gt;Feed Back:  1-866-641-3406&lt;br&gt;Home: &lt;a href=&quot;http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans.html&quot;&gt;http://personalmoneystore.com/NoFaxPaydayLoans....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Blog: &lt;a href=&quot;http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/&quot;&gt;http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>It is interesting that McCain&#039;s staff and the media grossly inflate the size of the crowds going to see Sarah Palin, sometimes by as much as ten times the actual amount, while the media tend to underestimate Obama&#039;s crowds.  It is also strange that no major media outlet has spent time reporting on the two major anti-Palin demonstrations in Alaska in past few days.  No matter.  McCain and Palin generate so much bad publicity simply by being themselves that the subtle media bias against Obama has been largely overcome.</description>

		<description>Down in Nebraska strange things are happening! Were mostly republicans down here. Real die hards in fact! I changed sides long ago, and gradualy my family taged along. than talking to my nieghbors, it seems Palin scared the heck out of them, and they are seriousely thinking about Obama now! When we caucused this summer, Hillary only had a few over Obama, and we certainly had more than we thought we did in this small county That has decided to go Dem! we&#039;ll never change some of these people. But I see a lot of Republicans who&#039;s on the brink here of just saying they can&#039;t vote for Mccain/Palin, that its just to dangerouse this time to get caught in a party thing, when they fear Mccains age/health/Med&#039;s and his pick of Palin! I think Chuck Hagel has changed alot of peoples minds to! He&#039;s very welll respected here in Neb.</description>

		<description>I attended the event in Charlotte, NC.  There were 20,000 allowed in to the event, but the fire department estimated another 10,000 - 15,000 were turned away.  It&#039;s fair to say that Obama brought out closer to 30,000 in Charlotte.  The Greensboro event held after the debate drew 20,000 according to the police count.</description>

		<description>And all of this wasted on woman-worshipping, freedom-loving pigs like america in their final days before Obama. Don&#039;t worry bitches, Obama will make it all better for everyone. You just sit there and be stupid.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama 08</description>

		<description>it&#039;s been said ad nauseum that Barack Obama should be more aggressive towards John McCain, yet the very people who say this - in or out of the media - would be the very first if he were to do what they suggest, instantly apply every black stereotype they can devise and use and brand him as an &quot;angry black man.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, John McCain can continue being the grumpy, condescending, ill-informed, uneducated and bullying jerk that he is, and has been all of his life, and get away with it. To these same people those characteristics represent experience, leadership and all the rest of it. They don&#039;t!  But hypocrisy and racism know no bounds when it comes to descending into the sewers of misinformation; and the sooner Americans wake up this reality the better not only for them but the rest of the world. And the way I and millions of others on my side of the Atlantic see it, Barack Obama is currently America&#039;s best hope: economically; socially, diplomatically and in every positiv way one can imagine, while John McCain is the complete opposite. An inveterate  warmonger; failed navy pilot - he crashed FIVE US fighter jets before he was mercifully taken as POW by the Vietcong to whom the US taxpayer certainly owe a great financial debt as there&#039;s no doubt he would have brought other such jets to grief if not killing himself in the process -  womaniser, home wrecker, serial adulterer, car crashed and handicapped wife deserter, bully and sad old codger who thinks that the so-called Hanoi Hilton was an academy for leadership - his kind of leadership that is. By the same nonsensical deduction one could put forward the same argument for those held illegally in Guantanamo Bay and America&#039;s secret &quot;extraordinary renditioned&quot; gulags worldwide, in blatant violation of every international law and Geneva Convention; but somehow I don&#039;t think that either Jon McCain, the Republicans or their surrogates in the media and supporters across the US would see it that way. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How can anyone, bearing in mind what has been said above, consider this man who spent more years in captivity than the US participated in World War Two, as any kind of war hero. Had McCain&#039;s grandfather and dad not been US admirals and taking into account John&#039;s total failure at the Navy Academy would he have been allowed to continue his dismal military career? I think not.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s why Barack Obama has got to carefully walk this tightrope that he&#039;s been forced onto and use the abundant commonsene and intellectual acumen that he has to overcome obstacles that would never ever be put, in a million years, in John McCain&#039;s way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore&lt;br&gt;London, England.</description>
