		<description>First off, &quot;Will&quot; to call Melissa Etheridge an idiot without seeing the debate or reading the transcripst is very unfair. And actually makes you look ike the idiot.

I was proud of Melissa for puting Hillary on the defensive when she commented abotu throwing us under the bus, after her husband was elected, and THAT is TRUE.
Dont ask dont tell is a farce. As a nine year army veteran it does nothing for us, but put us further into the closet.

Now Melissa is far from common folk, a mean, how many common folk can afford the health care and comfortable living that Melissa and her wife share. Not many, top 1% of the USA population perhaps.

She did well, held her own, fawned over Kucinich, nice guy, poster child for  love and peace and forward thinking, unfortunately our world wont embarce that.
How can we when we bicker amongst ourselves..(I digress)

Anyhow, Will, calling someone an idiot shows how ignorant and idiotic you are.
But I still Love ya!
Peace.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Sweet Jesus, please don’t let her sing that song…&lt;/blockquote&gt;LOL!

An inconvenient recording contract.

And yes, melissa etheridge is an idiot, but in all fairness, from what Ive seen she cant be any worse than those &quot;professionals&quot; who have been questioning the candidates on CNN and MSNBC so far. She may very well have done better (I didnt watch, and I havent read the transcripts yet).

And the idea that the American people, even the stupid ones, are not qualified to question the candidates rubs me the wrong way. Its an elitist idea that I think should be rejected. The &quot;professionals&quot; are so intent on trying to trap candidates with leading questions, that we voters hardly ever end up learning anything we didnt already know.

Ive always thought the town hall style debates where the people were doing the questioning (yes, I know that the questions are mostly hand picked) end up being far more informative.

(Of course I&#039;ll probably find out that Etheridge was a blithering idiot and not only embarrassed the entire gay &quot;community&quot; but her entire sex, the whole country, the western hemisphere and the human race as well...but I still stand by my opinion as a matter of principle) :^)</description>

		<description>Kevin, are you making these comments from Afghanistan or Pakistan?

If you aren&#039;t, then don&#039;t bother giving us lectures about &quot;putting our money where our mouth is&quot;.

Unless you&#039;re willing to admit that Democrats like yourself really don&#039;t want to fight al-Qaeda and are going to turn tail and run from both locations the minute you get your hands on the power levers.</description>

		<description>&quot;Ah, if only journalists were given professional credentialing by the state…. maybe I’d consider it a profession.&quot;

Bemoaning the fact that &quot;the state&quot; won&#039;t give you credentials?  That&#039;s sounds like you&#039;re bemoaning the lack of a communist led regime.  Then again, you and your little friends here won&#039;t join the military and go to Iraq for some kind of unspecified reasons either.  Seems when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is, the government is a convenient scapegoat, isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>So going to school learning &quot;journalism&quot; for 4-8 years then practicing your &quot;craft&quot; in the real world counts for....what.....bupkis. Thousands of journalists, some trying not to get laid off from the old media. And we have debates during a Presidential election of epic proportions where &quot;the people&quot; videograph in questions and celebrities fill the questioner chairs. Imagine you are a trained journalist. How painful.</description>

		<description>Makes me muse about the neighing of horses in the Imperial Stable when Caligula made his horse a consul.  Consuls had short lives in that regime.</description>

Considering that there are &quot;out&quot; professional journalist working for a number of legitimate MSM-outlets of the left (and even the moderate Center), this is just ridiculous.  Notoriety and celebrity are obviously the new coin-of-the-realm in this &lt;i&gt;Age of Paris&lt;/i&gt;...</description>
