		<description><![CDATA[Rep. Jim Cooper sold his vote while playing coy with district TN-05&#8217;s voters when after the fact facts tell a different story.
TN-05 and other districts nearby recently experienced a historic natural disaster. Cooper&#8217;s answer is to find a scapegoat and publicize it.
I had started a series to highlight five candidates for this district Out of [...]]]></description>

The government owns them which is, and has been for awhile now, a totally separate entity from the people it&#8217;s supposed to be serving. If there is money made, which is doubtful, it [...]]]></description>

The highest estimate is 7500.  Only once was it tense during the entire 2+ hours I was there.

Unfortunately, for you idiots out there who supported this, any sympathy I might have felt has went the same way as the resentment and anger.

President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh [...]]]></description>

First up:
&#8220;What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them &#8211; that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.&#8221;

Nice of him to finally admit he&#8217;s not a conservative, which is tantamount to admitting he&#8217;s not a Reaganite, either. Of course, he lost because of Conservatism but whose fault is that? The Conservatives&#8217; or McCain&#8217;s?

It is full of demands for conservative leadership, conservative principles, so on and so forth. It mentions Reagan principles which aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
