    <description>This group is to post the best answer you have come up with in discussion with your friends and neighbors. Post with the Issue first, IN CAPS, then with the answer. This will allow anyone to make a copy of the post listings and give them to the county representative of their choice. These lists can then be passed on to national convention delegates. THIS is a working group, folks... no candidate issues allowed.

An example of best answer to an issue:

HEALTH CARE REFORM: streamline medical records for easy access anywhere in the USA, similar to the VA process.

Long posts are not allowed, and nothing derogatory, please. Make it a short list, easy to read!

            <title>Swaying Swing State Voters; It&#039;s economics?</title>
            <description>If you saw John McCain&#039;s speech you like I heard no mention of economic policies to bring jobs back to this great nation, no real health-care reform for those with skyrocketing costs or perhaps as with many friends of mine, no health-care insurance period. He did talk about removing barriers for Corporations doing business in the US, no trade restrictions for business(which will result in more lost jobs as McCain would push for the South American Free Trade Agreement to be put into law), privitization of Social Security, elimination of Unemployment Insurance as we know it (eluding to the unemployed being given menial jobs before paying them the unemployment money they themselves paid into the fund)and a drill drill drill rhetoric. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest McCain campaign strategy is to paint the Obama-Biden ticket as being &quot;on the fringe&quot;.  We must, each of us refocus this election on the economy and other issues at hand! I urge each of you to reach out and write to a friend in a battleground or red state letting them know the facts. Let&#039;s put Amercia back to work and restore our standing of prestige in the world order!</description>

            <title>The Gloves are OFF!!!</title>
            <description>I&#039;ve watched all the RNC attack dogs speak this evening during the Republican Convention. After Sarah Palin&#039;s speech energizing their base with vicious attacks on Barack Obama, the smear and several factual inacuracies have been duly noted. &#039;Sarah the Barracuda&#039; as she was known in high school, has bitten us all and this deed will not be forgotten! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sarah Palin was FOR the &#039;Bridge to Nowhere&#039; before Congress told her state, Alaska would have to pay for the project. As Mayor, Sarah Palin hired a consultant to bring earmarks to her city when she&#039;s publicly claimed to be against earmarks. Sara Palin has not even traveled outside the US until last year and she managed to leave office with the city of Wasilla in debt (perhaps better spoken of as an 8,000-10,000 person town rather than city). I&#039;ve even heard she attempted to fire a librarian who refused to ban some books at the library not to mention the current &#039;trooper gate&#039; scandal. And not to mention, I haven&#039;t even touched on her far right Creationist views including no sex education whatsoever in the class room other than abstinence. It resulted in her 17 year old having a child out of wedlock so like it or not it&#039;s news. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we as Democrats truly can benefit from is to get Sarah Palin in front of a camera speaking her true views in an unscripted atmosphere. She was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live but the McCain campaign canceled her appearance for fear of this very thing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The time has come to step into the ring. There is no room for error. We must keep our attacks to arguments that make sense to swing voters, independents and Republicans on the fence. I&#039;d like you to remember one thing and that&#039;s McCain and Palin = MP and that spells Military Police which is not good for my America!</description>

            <title>New Orleans Hurricane</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, watching those poor people lining up for buses to yet again flee a hurricane, my heart broke. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With all our riches how can there still be people in America who are so obviously so impoverished and helpless? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it is because our system of education is broken, failed, shameful. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can any politician believe that property taxes from impoverished areas can pay for world class schools and world class teachers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A factor in our broken system of education is that first, teachers are underpaid so that schools for teachers &amp;quot;sometimes&amp;quot; fail to attract the most talented people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, the curricula are not teaching prospective teachers how to really teach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want every teacher in America to receive the same starting pay as computer programmers and engineeers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want better curicula for preparing teachers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I want 3,000,000 more, high paid, talented, dedicated teachers who are fully prepared to teach THE LOVE OF medicine, bioscience, math and engineering, starting in the first grade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let us all work for an America where everey child has absolutely equal and excellent education, so that in the future no American is so unprepared for life that they end up helplessly standing in line for buses to flee for their lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please donate, tax deductible,&amp;nbsp;to these goals at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fluni.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.fluni.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I cannot think of anything more consistent with the core values of our Democratic Party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Obama&#039;s statement &quot;families off limits&quot;</title>
            <description>THIS IS WHY I CHOOSE THE WONDERFUL, CLASSY MAN TO BE MY PRESIDENT. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MONROE, Michigan (CNN) â€&quot; Barack Obama told reporters firmly that families are off-limits in this campaign, reacting to news that Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is five months pregnant&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let me be as clear as possible,” said Obama, “I think people’s families are off-limits and people&#039;s children are especially off-limits This shouldn&#039;t be part of our politics It has no relevance to Gov Palin’s performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18 year-old mother&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn&#039;t be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Illinois senator became aggravated when asked about rumors on liberal blogs speculating that Palin’s fifth child - Trig - is actually her daughter Bristol’s A Reuters report Monday quotes a senior McCain aide saying that Obama’s name is in some of posts, “in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their &#039;campaign of change,’”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am offended by that statement,” Obama shot back, not letting the reporter finish his question “There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We don’t go after people’s families,” Obama said “We don’t get them involved in the politics It’s not appropriate and it’s not relevant Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be And if I ever thought that there was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they’d be fired”</description>

            <title>A Time for Planning and Prayer</title>
            <description>During Gustav and possibly as Hannah follows we&#039;re at a Crossroads. How do our candidates look Presidential while not appearing to politicize the situation? How do we as not only Democrats but as Americans help those in need during this time? How do we as Democrats counter the RNC and the tone of their convention? Our future as a nation is in peril under a McCain-Palin ticket. I pray for the safety of all Americans and for our candidates to be given wisdom to make the right decisions during these trying times. I&#039;ll be gathering my attack material and holding it close to the vest till the storm passes. God bless the USA!</description>

            <title>How we win; The Tale of the Hare and the Tortoise</title>
            <description>After witnessing an incredible convention we must now retire to the War Room and strategize! The RNC know that their convention couldn&#039;t come close so McCain will probably give his acceptance speech from the gulf coast region to appear Presidential. We must counteract the effects... If Barack Obama rolls up his sleeves and arrives in the region it might help but seeing a mulitude of Obama T-shirt wearing volunteers pitching in feeding those in the path of the storm and rebuilding the area is our best offense and our defense. Obama contributing personal funds could steal some RNC thunder as well. Now is the time to think smart and react swiftly and decisively. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We must use our response to their convention to praise their concern for the country and more so our party&#039;s action during this disaster.  We must appear as the party of action and they of talk. The convention itself is a moot point. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McCain&#039;s age must be addressed indirectly and not by the campaign itself. We need to come out with both barrels blazing yet utilizing a silencer. Sara Palin&#039;s extreme right wing views must be addressed indirectly a as well and not by the campaign itself. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember the hare is quick and experienced, exuding confidence. It is the tortoise though that takes the time to think through the task at hand, moves forward continually, exudes patience and inner calm. Displaying a keen sense of awareness, it is he who wins the race.</description>

The standard should be no different for industry. Ironically, we&#039;re trying to convince the rest of the nation to open ANWR, but we can&#039;t even get our own Pt. Thomson, which is right on the edge of ANWR, developed! We are ready for that gas to be tapped so we can fill a natural gas pipeline. I promise to vigorously defend Alaska&#039;s rights, as resource owners, to develop and receive appropriate value for our resources.&lt;br /&gt;

TADA THERE IT GOES on Aug. 27th approved TransCanada Corp., the nation&#039;s largest pipeline company, won approval from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to build a $27 billion pipeline to carry natural gas from the Arctic to U.S. markets. &lt;br /&gt;
Palin on Aug. 27 signed a bill authorizing the state to award Calgary-based TransCanada a license to build the 1,715- mile (2,744-kilometer) link from Prudhoe Bay to the Alberta Hub in Canada, according to a statement. The license will be granted in 90 days. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&amp;sid=acNe2vW46POk&amp;refer=canada&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Michelle&#039;s First Date</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;This vignette touched my heart, because it has such relevant symbolism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;In the clips last night, Michelle Obama spoke of finally giving in to Barack&#039;s request for a date. She had been refusing his advances because she was very proper in the top law firm of Sidley &amp;amp; Austin, where she was a full fledged attorney and Barack was just a summer intern.&amp;nbsp;Barack surprised Michelle when he&amp;nbsp;took her, not to a fancy restaurant, but &amp;nbsp;to a church basement where he gave a speech to steelworkers who were laid off when the local steel mill closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Michelle said Barack riveted everyone in the basement with a magnificent speech about how America actually was, and how America should be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clip showed a picture of the burly white steelworkers raptly listening to the young African American orator, demonstrating that the races were cooperating even back then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I grew up in the same neighborhood as Michelle Robinson Obama, actually in between her house&amp;nbsp; and Rev. Wright&#039;s church. I&amp;nbsp;personally knew many of the steelworkers who forever lost high paying jobs to the slave labor wages of Indian and Chinese steelmills, and feel quite strongly about fair trade instead of free trade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those hard working men&amp;nbsp;never, ever got jobs with pay&amp;nbsp;remotely near what they earned in the mill, for very hard work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Micehlle felt the same thing I did, and said that speech in the church basement made it all over, the end! She was in love with Barack.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A symbolic lesson for us all, united.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Proud To Be A Democrat</title>
            <description>While I shall continue to post about how to improve our &lt;br /&gt;
Democtratic party and uplift the issues of our candidates, my heart burst with pride as I watched our great Democratic Party make history as the first major party to nominate an African American for President of the United States of America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the Fourth of July, 2007, I signed the papers to register as a Democrat and abandoned my life long membership in the Republican Party. What a great day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May God Bless America, and God Bless our Democratic Party!</description>

            <title>Who Is Crazy?</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Who is crazy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comments on previous posts have stooped to the politics of personal destruction, ad hominem attacks, and calling people &amp;quot;crazy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you know that shortly after Frank filed with the FEC there was a staff post, since deleted, on Daily Kos, asking if Kos should support Frank instead of Obama? So the Kos staff was taking him seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell me, who is crazy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch is creating a new university http://www.fluni.com to train teachers of science, math, medicine and engineering to help treat our national shortage of science teachers and had the audacity to name the university after his father, who died at home in his arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously Lynch is crazy, a loon, an egomanic and should be chased out of town. It goes against the principles of the Democratic Party to advance education and to deal with the teacher shortage. Drive Lynch away from posting, he is dangerous. And he is taking on the monumental, back breaking tsask of creating a non-profit, charitable university, and serving without compensation? What a jerk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch is creating a public charity devoted to abused children and abused women and to fighting poverty inside of America as opposed to Clinton&#039;s foundation which is mostly outside the USA. http://franklynchfoundation.org also named after his deceased father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynch is insane, What a narcissist. Anybody who wants to fight poverty inside America is a Nazi. Shout him down, ban him, ridicule him. And he wants to help abused children and save them from the broken foster care system? He can&#039;t possible be a true Democrat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lynch is writing books and creating a publishing company to raise money for his charities to help education and fight poverty in America. Criminal! UnAmerican. Anti-Democrat. No Democrat Presidential candidate ever wrote a book? Boo! Go away Frank. It is illegal to write a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank filed to run for president even though he knew the Democratic Party insiders would not let him on the ballots. Why? As a means of getting the other Presidential candidates to copy the ideas he posted on http://www.franklynch.org and use them in their previously vacant websites previously filled with only empty rhetoric from Jimmy Carter&#039;s 1976 campaign, and we know Carter&#039;s legacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gee Frank, you reminded Hillary and goaded Barack into helping college students and into adopting Universal Healthcare. Frank, you really are a tin hat wacko loon. Everybody knows that Hillary and Barack adopted universal healthcare AFTER you publicized it and nagged the Chairpersons of all 50 state party organizations about it. What a maroone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And by doing so, Frank Lynch changed America. What a terrible person! Pushing for universal healthcare and helping college students. Lock him in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Frank Lynch filed to run for President without ever serving as a legislator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is a big one. Frank Lynch is going to propose a Constitutional Amenment to forbid anyone who has ever been a US Senator or Representative, or ever graduated from law school, from running for President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No lawyer ever SUCCESSFULLY managed anything of substance in the entire history of America. No many of you will cite lawyers who were the head of all sorts of things. Yes, ABraham Lincoln, my geatest personal hero, was a lawyer, but he never went to law school. Ha! Try to focus. No lawyer evere SUCCESSFULLY managed anything of substance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chew on that! First it is a really big crime how so many Senators do nothing about carrying out their duties to the taxpayers for two whole years while they abandon the Senate to run for President. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, the Presidency is EXECUTIVE. Senators and Representatives do nothing but work to get re-elected and collect campaign donations by holding hearing after hearing after hearing after hearing to extort contributions from the victims of their hearings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, have you every watched CSPAN? None of those bums should ever be allowed to be President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch has expert experience in the areas that determine America&#039;s future: science, national security, finance/economics, and running a business. See http://www.franklynch.name &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, compared to the irrelevant experience of all the other candidates, Lynch is OVERQUALIFIED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frank Lynch at age 18 dropped out of college because he thought his professors were stupid. At age 19 he was back as a National Science Foundation researcher studying the effects of early experience on adult biochemical and hormonal reactions to stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since stress is involved in weapons systems, he was recruited as a national security consultant, first on selection of advanced weapons systems, then intellegence, and he co-authored a study that predicted the current MidEast situation, in detail, with 100 percent accuracy, 40 years ago! Current candidates don&#039;t even understand the MidEast today, let alone see the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He then spent 10 years as a Corporate Finance Officer on Wall Street, followed by creating a new business from scratch, building it up into a publicly traded company, and selling it to a larger company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In contrast, both Obama and McCain state they do not understand business, finance or the economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No other Presidential candidate has these comprehensive, totally relevant, qualifications to deal with the problems facing America today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Howard Dean erred by keeping Frank Lynch off the primary ballots? Would it not be interesting if the voters had had the chance to debate this?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Idealism, Free Speech and Innovation</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Are these blogs contaminated by professional paid assasins in the employ of funded campaigns?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In July 2007 I read every word of every website&amp;nbsp; of all the Democrat and Republican Presidential&amp;nbsp;candidates. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then I wrote my Top Ten List and the http://www.franklynch.org website including only ideas that were not on any Democratic or Republican Presidential candidate website at that date, the sole exception being that Kucinich had the same elegant version of single payer healthcare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Clinton had dropped universal healthcare after the Republicans threatened to put her in jail for unauthorized expenditure of taxpayer funds in 1993. She never again sponsored unversal healthcare until after I embarassed her on September 11, 2007. On that date she was in my neighbordhood doing a &amp;quot;not really campaigning&amp;quot; fundraiser in which her only words on healthcare were cheaper drugs for seniors and more healthcare for children, less than truly revolutionary concepts. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time a mile down the same street&amp;nbsp;the ABC station&amp;nbsp;televised me campaigning for universal healthcare. Since her staff scans television news wherever she appears, they viewed the five televised spots of me pushing unversal healthcare when she did not. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shortly&amp;nbsp;AFTER that embarassment, she REMEMBERED that she used to support it.&amp;nbsp; She researched me so thoroughly that she found out my mother belonged to an HMO named &amp;quot;America&#039;s Health Choice&amp;quot; and Clinton adopted the name of my mother&#039;s HMO for her universal healthcare plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As that website says, I filed for President with the FEC because I was disgusted that Hillary&#039;s and Obama&#039;s websites at July 2007 had almost no specific steps on how to achieve change, even though he had been campaigning for seven months and had spent more than a hundred million, including millions on consultants and writers to flesh out and put substance to his rhetoric. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Silly me, I thought that if someone were to run for President, they should have their ideas fleshed out with specific plans BEFORE starting a campaign, otherwise why run? That is not a rhetorical question. I think the reason to run for President is because you have specific ideas. If your initial,&amp;nbsp; starting&amp;nbsp;Presidential website&amp;nbsp;lacks specific steps you intend to implement, why bother running?. Much worse is if&amp;nbsp;after running for seven months, there is no excuse for not having specific, concrete actual steps, except if you have no&amp;nbsp; specific, concrete ideas?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isn&#039;t the purpose of running for change to have specific changes written down? All of the Democratic candidates were insider Senators or Congressmen (if Obama was an outsider, how come he lived off the taxpayers for the last ten years? Ha!) I knew there was no way the Party machine would let a true outsider like me into the debates or on the ballots, so I used faxes and certified mail to the State Party Chairpersons, and within 48 hours, the elements of my Top Ten List and website began appearing on the DNC website and on Hillary&#039;s and Obama&#039;s website. It is an incontrovertible fact that at July 20, 2007, neither Hillary nor Barack had Universal Healthcare, plug-in electric cars, windfarms, talking to our enemies, Energy Independence, Free College or College Tuition Assistance,&amp;nbsp;or the phrase &amp;quot;Bold New Ideas&amp;quot; on their websites. How short memories are! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure, if you Google any idea you will find many hits, but none of the ideas on my Presidential website were on Hillary&#039;s or Obama&#039;s websites at July 2007, and I did in fact succeed in&amp;nbsp;inserting them into the current Presidential campaign and defined the major issues of this campaign. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And by doing so I changed America!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What amazes me is the vicious antagonism of this Democratic website toward a Democrat because he contributed to defining the issues and expanded the debate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Perhaps Fox News may have something when they claim that we Dems really suppress free speech and ideological expansion while claiming the opposite?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You and Howard Dean have proven to me that our Party is the old establishment, and is highly resistant to true change. We won the 2006 elections to bring change, but tell me please, why are Congressional approval ratings so low after our 2006 victory?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I urge everyone to embrace outsiders who publicize ideas of change, instead of responding with pettiness and calling people &amp;quot;crazy.&amp;quot; First, that is immature. And Second, That is what Hitler&#039;s Brown Shirts did.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Obama&#039;s Plagarism is Getting Excessive</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;When Obama appeared after Joe Biden&#039;s speech tonight, Obama said he was going to the Mile High Stadium tomorrow because he needed room for more people because &amp;quot;&lt;u&gt;In America, ordinary people do extraordinary things.&amp;quot;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, Obama did not have universal healthcare until I promoted it. Same for plug-in electric cars, energy independence, windfarms, and talking with our enemies. I enjoyed his copying my ideas because that is why I ran for President:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In July of last year Obama and the other candidates had very little specifics, so I filed for President with the FEC and deluged all the State Party&amp;nbsp; Chairs with my Top Ten List as a means of defining the national issues for the 2008 campaign to uplift the nation. And I was wildly successful. More than half of Obama&#039;s issues today were nowhere to be found in his pre-July 2007 speeches and websites until he copied from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.franklynch.org/&quot;&gt;http://www.franklynch.org&lt;/a&gt; only after I posted them in July 2007, had them broadcast on television &amp;nbsp;and sent them to the 50 State Party Chairs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, during the last primary debate before Christmas 2007 I actually rolled off the couch with laughter as Clinton and Obama tossed verbatim quotes from my website back and forth during their phony debate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But I object to Obama&#039;s plagarism of my line &amp;quot;&lt;u&gt;America, where ordinary people do extraordinary things everyday&lt;/u&gt;&amp;quot; because that was really a trademark identifying the theme of all of my websites, charities, and publications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Obama, either stop plagarizing from the 180 pages of&amp;nbsp;my five websites, or have the decency and honesty to preface or follow your quotes from me with an acknowledgement such as &amp;quot;as the Futurist Frank Lynch says . . . &amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your courtesy, Barack&lt;/p&gt;</description>

From NBC&#039;s Mark Murray&lt;br /&gt;
Clinton spokeswoman Kathleen Strand issued this statement regarding the McCain TV ad, which includes quotes from Hillary whacking Obama during the primary season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Hillary Clinton&#039;s support of Barack Obama is clear. She has said repeatedly that Barack Obama and she share a commitment to changing the direction of the country, getting us out of Iraq, and expanding access to health care. John McCain doesn&#039;t. It&#039;s interesting how those remarks didn&#039;t make it into his ad.&quot;</description>

            <description>Obama says he&#039;s decided on a running mate&lt;br /&gt;
By NEDRA PICKLER,&lt;br /&gt;
Associated Press Writer &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
CHICAGO - Barack Obama says he&#039;s decided on a running mate, but he won&#039;t say who. The Democratic presidential candidate told USA Today on Thursday that he went with someone who is independent and would challenge him in the White House. He also said he wanted someone who is prepared to be president and would help him strengthen the economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wouldn&#039;t say whether he&#039;s informed his pick yet. He says he won&#039;t reveal anything else about the decision until he announces it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama is planning to do so in a text message to supporters sometime before Saturday afternoon, when he&#039;s scheduled to appear with his pick in Illinois.&lt;br /&gt;
Asked by an Associated Press reporter when the text would be sent, Obama just grinned and said, &quot;Wouldn&#039;t you like to know?&quot;</description>

            <title>Chasing People Away From Party Builder</title>
            <description>There seems to be a few people that are on a mission to chase new members of THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY builder away by calling them various names. Just because a person is new to party builder and do not agree with &quot;them&quot; does not mean that they are a troll or any other name they call them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact &quot;these people&quot; have called several of the good people that have been here for a very long time the same names. This is in no way helping to build our party. They are continuing to tear it down. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please I ask again JUST STOP IT, why are you here if you hate the people here and the views of this party? The only possible answer could be that you are here to stir the pot and to bait people. What other reason would you have to come back after you have been banned?</description>

            <title>ENOUGH ALREADY</title>
            <description>How is all of this helping our party?? PLEASE tell me!!&lt;br /&gt;
I happen to love this party, I am a lifelong Democrat, I grew up in a Democratic family with the values that our party stands for. My father worked hard to give us a good life in a union job, something the Republicans are agianst. My husband is also part of a union, which Bush has tried to screw over and McCain will as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, work for it, work for Senator Obama we need him, we need our country back, we can not take another 4-8 years with a Republican in office, more over McCain whom can barely remember his own name. Work for the Democrats down the ticket, we need them, for the love of GOD HELP US! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you want this country to go down in flames? Do you want us to be at war for God knows how long? Do you want more people to loose their jobs and homes? Do you want children on the street begging for money for food? If you do vote for McCain BUT don&#039;t bring it here,,,,LOOK UP ... it says THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the people that have been banned are soooo dead set on being here DO SOMETHING for the party!!! STOP JUST STOP making trouble and blaming everyone else for it..if it were anyone else causing the trouble they would have been banned not you! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben &amp; Shopman are another story and I&#039;m sure it will be cleared up, they are good Democrats. As for the rest of you DO SOMETHING or just leave us alone PLEASE.</description>
