		<description>Yup, yup. The GOP did the same and worse last cycle around. Not to mention they kicked people from their own party OUT of the convention. &lt;br&gt;Log Cabin Republicans were told that the GOP didn&#039;t want them OR their money, so OUT they went (Log Cabin Repubs are a gay republican group and, of course, the GOP under Bush certainly didn&#039;t want THOSE kind of people there).&lt;br&gt;At the rate we&#039;re going, there won&#039;t BE any debate about anything in the world of USA politics.  Everything will be decided before hand, and although the people will be allowed to vote, their votes won&#039;t really count. Everything will be decided by the electoral college and the vote&#039;s cast by the regular American won&#039;t be worth the price of a cup of coffee....oh wait .. &lt;br&gt;That&#039;s happened already, huh? :P&lt;br&gt;Freedom was such a great idea. Too bad it&#039;s getting swept under the rup and trampled to death. :( &lt;br&gt;Just my two cents worth,&lt;br&gt;Ghost</description>

		<description>Well the more one knows the less likely one is willing to go out there and protest.  The degree of police and FBI infiltration, pre-event leader arrests, pepper spray, rubber bullets, shock sticks, gas, batons and other bizarre forms of weapons used in ways most dangerous (pepper spray at point blank range), aggressive, authoritative cops, random arrests.  And fences, we now love fences, imaginary and real ones, divide and conquer, get &#039;em up there, fences everywhere.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;AND if you are willing, presumably to protest the long-past-gone transition of this country from a representative democracy to an oligarchy, facist in leaning, funded by corporations that manage to not pay taxes-- well if you are still willing, and apparently some are, you will be placed in an overly small space far from the object of protest where you will be filmed and photographed for purposes of protecting the country from domestic terrorists.  AND when all is said and done, major media will make mere mention of your effort, with a brief video showing hippie types being escorted away in view of a broken window.  And of coarse someone will be arrested for the unpatriotic act of burning the flag (now against the law, I believe) while around the corner, the dems, and by extension, the rest of congress pick apart what remains of the constitution. Folks, like it or not,  we have wandered far past the point of protest, into the crazed idealistic frame of revolution.  Did I say that?  no, no, only kidding.  I&#039;m too fat. too old, to slow, to alone and lonely..too illogically intuitive with messy feelings.........&lt;br&gt;             This message sponsored by the committee to elect McCain</description>
