		<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.grumblengrin.com/wp-content/photos/ma-state-house.jpg" width="200" align="left" /> Here in Massachusetts we're not sure what is going on with our local leaders. We have heard very little about governor Deval Patrick after his bid to open MA up to casinos went down in defeat- except that he was in New York promoting his book and recently campaigning for Barack Obama in Miami.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Election day is this week, FINALLY! The presidential election has been going on FOREVER or at least it seems that way. What will the pundits talk about when it&#8217;s over? The media will come up with all sorts of nonsense and speculation: What will the new president do when he takes office? Who will he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After reading many, many comments about the debate on several different sites it is clear to me that people see through the filter of their beliefs. How else could you explain such differing reactions from the same debate. Some people show class and balance in how they present their viewpoints, some are crude. The latter [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have spent the morning thinking about politics, never a good thing! I began by reading the transcripts from the Vice Presidential Debate. Then I got side-tracked, reading blogs and news reports by liberals, conservatives and so-called unbiased sources. I am, like many Americans, fed up with party politics and the mess that we are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who is responsible for the current financial crisis? The finger-pointing has begun with politics playing a large role in defining the culprit. According to the Republican Press it is the Community Reinvestment Act created by Jimmy Carter and strengthened by Bill Clinton &#8211; therefore the Democrats who are to blame. According to the Liberal Press [...]]]></description>

So far Barack Obama is beating John McCain by a landslide with a majority in every country that has voted, including the US. However, Gallup currently has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The interviews with Barack Obama and John McCain last night on 60 Minutes did not reveal anything new, yet they did foster hope that either candidate will be more practical and less idealogical than the current administration. It has been widely reported by former Bush administration advisers that Bush and Chaney were not interested in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fact that the media has spent any air time on Barack Obama&#8217;s &#8220;lipstick on a pig&#8221; reference is a perfect example of why so many people get fed up with politics and political reporting. The Republicans should know better than to jump on the bandwagon and pretend to take offense. It is ridiculous to [...]]]></description>
