		<description><![CDATA[Suggesting that Jay is &quot;hopped up on goofballs&quot; in effect, is offensive, isn&#039;t it?  He provided links to support his points.  You&#039;re parsing details when Romney is certainly obfuscating and misleading voters.  You&#039;re clearly biased and part of the problem, and insulting to boot.  You&#039;re the kind of person Jay is talking about, and you&#039;re screwed up as any clueless conservative.  Try harder for your own sake.  Are you on drugs, or seeing a shrink?  I have to assume so.]]></description>

Wade, wouldn&#039;t. I think if given a chance, Romney and Ryan would change this country into something beyond recognition.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is malarkey. Bush &quot;instigated&quot; deals with Columbia, South Korea and Panama, but they flopped. They went to Congress and they died there. 

Obama criticized the old agreements when he was campaigning in 2008. So he changed them. He &quot;instigated&quot; new agreements with all three countries, negotiated them successfully and put them through Congress successfully. 

Maybe Romney is right on the legalistic definition of &quot;instigate&quot; but he is wrong on the practical reality. 

And it is asinine to play the medication card in a political debate. Jay has said the chemo affects his energy and his emotional state, but he has never said it interferes with his ability to tell truth from malarkey.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think your medications may be interfering with your cognitive abilities to recognize the truth when it is told.  One example is your accusation that Romney lied about the trade deals...in fact he told the truth.  Mr. Obama had not instigated one new trade deal.  In fact, he was against the ones he signed when campaigning in 2008.  If you don&#039;t believe me maybe you will believe the liberal &quot;bible&quot; - The New York Times.  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/business/trade-bills-near-final-chapter.html?pagewanted=all&amp;_r=0
Most sincerely,
