		<description>Just for the record, poplou…

In the popular imagination Trump is an emblem of flamboyant, wheeling-dealing entrepreneurial success. In point of fact his business enterprises have failed spectacularly and gone bankrupt 4 times thus far. He&#039;s ridden high, and he&#039;s fallen flat. Don&#039;t know whether &quot;The O&#039;Donnell&quot; is right about &quot;The Donald&#039;s&quot; current status; but, given the latter&#039;s series of business failures and bankruptcies, I have to think it&#039;s a bit hasty to dismiss O&#039;Donnell&#039;s opinion out of hand, let alone to mock it.

O&#039;Donnell himself? Like him or loathe him, anyone who takes national politics seriously should be aware of him. And any conservative who cares about genuine civil engagement, aimed toward reconciliation with fellow Americans, should take his opinions seriously, if for no other reason than that those opinions are taken seriously by liberals. (You want to persuade someone to join you in unity rather than just wallop him or her? Then you&#039;ll definitely want to know, not just where that person &quot;is,&quot; but also where she or he is &quot;coming from.&quot;)

&lt;em&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/em&gt; is notoriously unreliable and manipulable. (Stephen Colbert manipulated it once in real-time, on-air, while taping his show.) Nevertheless, it&#039;s often a good starting point for more serious research. Try the Lawrence O&#039;Donnell entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_O%27Donnell. Like him or not, you&#039;ll find that he&#039;s a guy with serious &quot;cred.&quot;</description>

		<description>One more thing. I never heard of this O&#039;Donnell guy but anyone that thinks Donald Trump is dependent upon a TV show to keep him afloat financially is delusional. I wonder if the three people posting here are his only audience.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a retired retail specialist. I have worked when both parties, at one time or another, was in power. I worked hard, raised four kids and managed to save enough money so I could retire. None of these clowns ever gave me . nor did I ask for, a damn thing. My message to the underprivileged. Your choices in life has put you where you are and it&#039;s not mine or anyone else s responsibility to support you. Finish school, don&#039;t have kids before you are married and spend some time in the military. If you want the government to support you, move to France, Denmark, or some other social society. It would be cheaper for the US to pay your way to your new home that to ask honest working people to support your lazy butts.</description>

		<description>Kuhner must be best friends with Cal Thomas.  It was Thomas who attacked the US Surgeon General for advocating condom usage in the mid 80s, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis.  History has proven what an idiot Thomas is, yet he keeps on writing little columns whose basic message is you have to be heterosexual, Christian, zenophobic in order to be a good American.  It is no surprise to me that Momon country has a lot of people looking at porn.  One county in Utah has the higest rate of child sexual abuse/incest per capita in the nation.  And more people there per capita are on sedatives.  Hey, if you&#039;re a woman you have to stay married to your husband for all eternity.  He&#039;s gonna&#039; be your boss forever, and he&#039;s gonna&#039; keep you barefoot and pregnant.  If I was faced with that kind of afterlife future I&#039;d be taking a valium too.  I better shut up about Mormonism or I&#039;ll keep on and on till my head explodes.  Peace.</description>

		<description>TAKE OUR JOBS BACK!

THE ONLY JOB LOSE WILL BE THE 8.5 MILLION OR MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO ARE SQUATTING HERE. AND PAY ATTENTION IF YOU ARE RED FLAGGED ON THE HIRING COMPUTER, YOU CAN RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BY GOING TO YOU NEAREST SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE WITHIN 8 DAYS. OF COURSE THE OPEN BORDER ZEALOT’S WILL REMAIN QUIET ON THIS EASY AND SIMPLE IMPASSE?

Save our nation from economic illegal aliens, bleeding our health care, education, public assistance and crowded prison system. We need to secure our borders and check all airline passengers who over-stay their visas--permanently. Our taxes are being extorted by the IRS for instant citizenship for babies, with an rising cost of $113 billion dollars a year as specified by a survey from the Heritage Foundation.

Your state is represented on the Judiciary Committee and can be reached through the Washington Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to make E-Verify a mandatory law. Insure the true information, that you will only get from NumbersUSA, American Patrol and the corruption we have inherited in Congress and individual state Capitols at Judicial Watch. Of course there is growing opposition from mainly the Leftist Progressives, Democrats and even certain Republicans? The Liberal want the future voting blocs and GOP establishment cheap labor. Join the Tea Party as they will work to free America from Congressional tyranny and the corruption that&#039;s settled in Washington and state legislators.

		<description>Yes, this clip re: social class made me furious.  But then I&#039;m always upset about the lies re: the poor.  There is a greater divide now than there has been in decades between the poor black person and the rich white person.  There is more ignorance about everything, it seems, regardless of the fact that we all twitter ourselves into a frenzy and watch big screen TVs and have cell phones that apparently are capable of just about anything but telling us we&#039;re not so special after all.  When Perry pulls a Bubba and says we live in an oligarchy and calls the oligarchy the US Senate he is showing either his stupidity (Senators are elected not appointed, thank God) or his decietfullness (since he has said he thinks US senators should be appointed).  If we do in fact live in an oligarchy, it is an oligarchy comprised of the rich, who use their power to influence politicians. Perry can&#039;t be so stupid as to not know this, so his words must be decietful.</description>
