		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“Their support of the people’s right to vote and of the entitlement to be part of the American political system, I closely identify with that,” she said .&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Wow. Talk about speaking without saying something. We have a word in Swedish, &quot;floskel&quot;, the definition of which is pretty much &quot;a statement that is completely meaningless, on account of its opposite being unthinkable&quot;, that I think is extremely apt here. Imagine someone saying &quot;We don&#039;t support people&#039;s right to vote and be part of the political system.&quot;</description>

		<description>I agree with Corey Mondello, democrats from a college such as this are unlikely to share many of the core traits of what i look for in a democratic politician.  Much like the blue dogs who are essentially fiscal conservatives, these would be social republicans for many issues of great importance.

I also prefer to have politicians that at least have a grounding in reality.  Colleges such as this tend to emphasise the magical background of the bible as reality.  These guys may believe plenty of decent things, such as helping the poor, child protection, etc, and good luck to them pushing these issues, but the general world view of these colleges is not compatible with producing sensible policy.</description>

		<description>Yes...Dip-Stick-Crats are silly, like the Blue-Slobs (don&#039;t want to offend dogs in any way) are the same thing correct?

Hats off to this feeble college for its desire to take over politics by tricking those on the &quot;Left&quot; that they actually produce people with any bit of humanity in them.

There are plenty of nice Christian Democrats who really believe in what I believe in, but they would never attend a college associated with such an a-hole as P. Robertson. 

Isn&#039;t politics all about who you know?

If so, one just need to look at some of those who &quot;graduated&quot; from this lame college and see what disasters they have been, (like that young girl who covered for Gonzo, if my memory serves me correct) and how their version of Christianity allows dishonesty, to try and take over the world, (not to be too dramatic on my part), like those silly people who go to other countries to &quot;help&quot; then get held captive, but whine that they are Christians just spreading love (I’ll give you dinner if you give me your soul).

I don’t trust corporations that umbrella many smaller organizations that once were on their own, because the “big pictures” trumps their original “message”, (product) ohhh much like many religions before they are destroyed by those who are in power at that time.</description>
