		<description>&quot;Meanwhile, I keep pushing my concerns about Obama-Biden domestic policy to the background, believing that for all their big-government inclinations, they surely could not screw things up as badly as you-know-who’s administration.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think you are kind of setting up a false choice for yourself here. Is there any evidence that McCain (or any self-described &quot;fiscal conservative&quot;) has any interest in &quot;smaller government&quot; other than the rhetorical one that allows them to get into office? Do you understand that war is basically the most expensive, &quot;big government&quot; thing that we do? Do you know that McCain&#039;s proposed budget contains a much higher deficit than Obama&#039;s?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I read your indecision as &quot;on the one hand, I agree with Obama on the most important issues, on the other hand, he might be just as bad as McCain on the secondary issues.&quot;  Hmmmm. But if you could elaborate on those domestic issues you mean, it would be easier to address specifically.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And on an editorial note, I think the most pressing issue of our time, that truly threatens our entire economy and way of life is energy. And the Republicans have demonstrated time and again, most recently at their convention, that as a party, they simply do not understand or care about this issue. &quot;Drill baby drill&quot; is the mantra that will lead us into the real great depression.</description>

		<description>&quot;Meanwhile, I keep pushing my concerns about Obama-Biden domestic policy to the background, believing that for all their big-government inclinations, they surely could not screw things up as badly as you-know-who’s administration.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think you are kind of setting up a false choice for yourself here. Is there any evidence that McCain (or any self-described &quot;fiscal conservative&quot;) has any interest in &quot;smaller government&quot; other than the rhetorical one that allows them to get into office? Do you understand that war is basically the most expensive, &quot;big government&quot; thing that we do? Do you know that McCain&#039;s proposed budget contains a much higher deficit than Obama&#039;s?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I read your indecision as &quot;on the one hand, I agree with Obama on the most important issues, on the other hand, he might be just as bad as McCain on the secondary issues.&quot;  Hmmmm. But if you could elaborate on those domestic issues you mean, it would be easier to address specifically.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And on an editorial note, I think the most pressing issue of our time, that truly threatens our entire economy and way of life is energy. And the Republicans have demonstrated time and again, most recently at their convention, that as a party, they simply do not understand or care about this issue. &quot;Drill baby drill&quot; is the mantra that will lead us into the real great depression.</description>
