		<description>Aw man, Ryan, you don&#039;t have to stay away.  You know I love you.  I just know that your topics of conversation stretch way beyond a) Republicans and b) Republicans are better.</description>

		<description>The truth isn&#039;t in the middle, but elsewhere, outside of our current spectrum, given that what the Repubs and Dems concern themselves with the most aren&#039;t always true national priorities. We end up turning their issues, the manufactured issues, into our issues.

Oh, come now, Ryan, it wasn&#039;t dirty when the McCain camp accused Obama of inexperience?  Turnabout is fair play.  :-)  Even though Palin is far away from the Beltway, she is head of the national governors&#039; association Natural Resources Committee and worked with and against the Murkowskis and Stevenses, which means that she is not out of the loop when it comes to politics as usual.  Fact - anyone who runs for office is insane, asked for it and plays political dirtball.

Speaking of issues, I am very pro-choice, so despite the fact that Palin is a breath of fresh air to the geriatric and very masculine Republican campaign to date (and hunts and fishes and is a hockey enthusiast, things that jibe with this Wisconsin gal), she&#039;s not going to get my vote.  Palin wants creationism, a topic best discussed in religion class, taught in science classrooms (&lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; should bring our kids right up to competitive speed). Oh, and will she bring her Alaskan tax increase on oil company profits to the federal level?  Probably not.

Of course, the choice of Palin is political.  It is a shameless maneuver to bring women who were going to vote for Hillary, but will never vote for Obama because he&#039;s a dude or a Hussein, into the Republican fold.

Also, this post was about the shared responsibility of Repubs and Dems in bringing this city and country down.  If you have to prove at every turn that Republicans are better, don&#039;t bother.  I get that you&#039;re a conservative and I&#039;m not.  Back to taking pictures of all of our stuff in case it gets blown all across the Gulf coast.</description>

		<description>Very passionate and eloquent post Maitri.  Theres no doubt that everyone in Washington and Baton Rouge and city hall, both Dem&#039;s &amp; Rep&#039;s, have failed the people.

We (and I for sure) get caught up in our far left or far right stances, the truth is the best answer is usually somewhere in the middle.

In other news, I have never been this excited about politics before.  I am so happy for Sarah Palin!  She is an genuine, real person with a real family - a husband who works with his hand as a fisherman an a productin operator.  THe statement from the campaign statement was really dirty, and they had some nerve talking about experience.  She is as far from inside the Beltway politics as yu can get.

My sister ws crying, Komi was beaming, and I was speechless.  Say what you want about it being a political deal, but you can&#039;t help but not be proud if you are a true American.</description>

		<description>You know, it is seriously disappointing me and pissing me off every time these idiot newscasters and Dem spinners keep mentioning Gustav and the irony and anything of that ilk.  It started with me cringing, and now I&#039;m just wondering what is wrong with everyone.

Still hoping you don&#039;t have to evacuate.</description>

		<description>Maitri - thank you for your wise, funny, angry writings over the last few days...and before.

Why on earth would I need to read syndicated columnists when I have you and a few others? You&#039;re great.</description>
