		<description><![CDATA[Brian - &lt;blockquote&gt;...such as any of those regularly used by the left to refer to a certain former governor of Alaska…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&#039;Cause &quot;the left&quot; are monolithic and travel in lockstep and all. And &lt;a href=&quot;http://motherjones.com/slideshows/2010/09/tea-partys-racist-signs/niggar&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;there are no weirdos on &quot;the right&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.

&quot;There is no cause so noble that it will not attract some kooks.&quot; - Larry Niven]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Mitt Romney is &quot;weird&quot;, huh?  Well, his insistence on defending Romneycare when the GOP base hates Obamacare with the same sort of passion that the Dem base hated the Iraq War IS quite strange.

Obama&#039;s got quite a range of campaign strategies depending on his GOP opponent next year:

For Romney:  Don&#039;t vote for that weird and crazy Mormon!

For Bachmann:  Don&#039;t vote for that weird and crazy !

For Perry:  Don&#039;t vote for that weird and crazy Texan!]]></description>
