		<description>It comes as no surprise that you&#039;re a member, or were a member, of the MSM.  The banal left-wing conventionality, the predictability, the lack of intelligence and wit in your post - yep, that proves it!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I read crapola such as the above post by Shaun Mullen, I am happy that the natural monopoly that most newspapers once enjoyed is a thing of the past, and that most major newspapers are now losing advertisers and circulation at an accelerating rate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s a good thing.</description>

		<description>&quot;Uh oh. More buzzwords! &quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grow up and face reality.  Obama blew it.  He&#039;ll probably recover even if your tantrum may last a while.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama&#039;s McGovernite-Carteresque stumbles on energy are just that, stumbles. I suspect he&#039;ll learn and recover from them, even if you don&#039;t.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Uh oh. More buzzwords! Let&#039;s try some on you... &quot;McCain&#039;s slavish Cheneyesque  ties to oil companies are forcing him to protect Exxon&#039;s  profits at the expense of the American people.&quot;</description>

		<description>Chris -- tsk, tsk -- still getting emotional and unreasonable, and sooooo defensive -- tsk, tsk.  Obama&#039;s McGovernite-Carteresque stumbles on energy are just that, stumbles.  I suspect he&#039;ll learn and recover from them, even if you don&#039;t.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As far as the image Shaun gave us this time [sigh; the only thing missing is &quot;TORTURE REGIME (R)&quot;], something of much more value is that it is now news that Cheney may not attend the GOP convention.  (It was always misleading to picture Cheney or Bush with McCain anyway if it involved the McBush Big Lie.)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Desperate that Obama has stumbled lately?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pandered maybe. Stumbled, no.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He&#039;s just on his heels responding to dishonest attacks from the McCain camp. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You choose to reward dishonesty and stupidity at your own peril.</description>

		<description>&quot;I knew that he was an empty vessel into which every conservative who could get and keep his ear would pour their pet theories, animosities and causes.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*********&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, we have to be wary of candidates who bend any way the wind blows.  They make such terrible presidents.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now who do I vote for?  Dumb or Dumber?  Is there a third choice who stands for something besides BigOil, nuclear and staying in Iraq for 100 years?</description>

		<description>the real question is why does the media still cover the conventions.  Nothing is really decided and the conventions are just four day infomercials for the two political parties.   If there was anything news worthy at the conventions, maybe the media should cover them but if there is not, then who cares.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, since the Republicans are near the end of their death spiral, who cares what they do at their convention.</description>
