		<description>TPT 
Once again you are ducking the questions I have asked more than once. 
I made my question very clear all three times I have asked you.
Answer my questionâ€¦ again... are you a RACIST?  
You jump all over Michael and others when they donâ€™t answer your questions.


If you canâ€™t answer the question you are what I think you are. 

Pete he may be better that he once was but still an arrogant liberal that always answers a question with another question or just ducks it all together.
But holds everyone else accountable.

TPT Iâ€™m sorry your life sucks</description>

		<description>Never thought I&#039;d do this... Putt&#039;s been fairly civil the last few days, probably more so then some of the rest of us.  Not that he wanted to but still...  He may be wrong all the time but at least he isn&#039;t being as rude and vulgar as he once was.  Putt, I still don&#039;t like you :-)</description>

		<description>TPT
More rhetoric from mister I hate Republicans!!

You never responded to my question last week when I asked you if you were a racist.
Are you? I have ready too many of your post that are full of hate and racist remarks.
You claim to be so knowledgeable about every post Michael puts up and when most anyone challenges your remarks you respond by calling them Bootlicker or a Cheney ectâ€¦ get a life and stop blaming republicans for everything. You are a nothing in the world of politics in Minnesota. Who pays your salary to spew your hate? Your one of many racist democrats who hide behind the liberal party and spew your hate over the airwaves to cover what a pathetic loser you are. You have no solutions to anything and contribute less by talking more.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;I still havenâ€™t heard a Democrat talk about what else can be done to ensure we win in Iraq. All they have to say is â€œsurrender.â€&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Yeah, &quot;right&quot;.

I&#039;ve still never heard a republican talk about what consititutes a &quot;win.&quot;

The reason violence is down, is because our military changed doctrine, from &quot;conventional warfare&quot; to &quot;unconventional warfare&quot; - TWO YEARS after it was obvious it was an uncoventional war.

Well, really, it was an &quot;unconventional occupation&quot; - the war was declared over by Bush, on an aircraft carrier.

You do remember that &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot; speech, doncha?


And, Bush WAS correct:  The invasion toppled the regime, and the Iraqi military stood down.  The war was over.

Unfortunately, no one in the Bush Administration made any plans for securing the peace - let alone the ammo dumps the Insurgency looted, because the Bush Administration failed to send enough troops to secure them.

Did you ever wonder where the IED materiel came from, Chestnut?

Why republicans refuse to hold this administration accountable for anything is the subject of a different thread - but it doesn&#039;t change the fact this administration completely failed in every aspect of the occupation of Iraq.

The military did everything that was asked of them - it was the Administration that insisted on a failed plan; it was the Administration that insisted that the tried and true Powell Doctrine be replaced with the Rumsfeld Doctrine, which by any analysis is a complete failure.</description>

		<description>I still haven&#039;t heard a Democrat talk about what else can be done to ensure we win in Iraq. All they have to say is &quot;surrender.&quot;

Funny timing too, considering the fact that AQI is in shambles, violence against U.S. and Iraqis is a fraction of what it was 12 months ago, and significant gains are being made in political reconciliation. 

Any day now, Democrats will shift with the winds and talk about how they helped turn the tide...</description>

		<description>So, basically, Michael, what you&#039;re sayin&#039; here is that Franken has a stump speech, and you guys have a tracker.

And you&#039;re tracker thinks ya got Franken in a &quot;Gotcha!&quot; moment.

What this tells me, is there&#039;s a reason Coleman, Paulsen, Kline, and the rest of the GOPers are so afraid to show up in public over and Over and OVER, and deliver a stump speech over and Over and OVER, and that reason is they know THEY would be filmed.

This isn&#039;t that big of a deal, Michael - other than showing how desperate your side is for something to rip Al about, AND demonstrating your candidates hide like little children, lest THEY be caught in a &quot;Gotcha!&quot; moment.</description>
