		<description>Baseless accusations of racism from a Democrat.  Golly, that&#039;s new.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;50% of all black pregnancies in America end in abortion at the hands of Planned Parenthood, founded by racist Margaret Stanger with the distinct desire to exterminate blacks.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Planned Parenthood is supported without limitation by the Democratic Party and, therefore, those who vote for Democrats.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mr. Burns, an obvious supporter of the Democratic Party, is, therefore, the true racist in his own story.</description>

		<description>&quot;There is still a “Bubba factor” in play.  White working class/rural voters may not be fessing up to pollsters about the racism that will ultimately inform their votes in November, Francia said. But Obama may have the organization to counter that.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course!  Anybody who doesn&#039;t vote for Obama is a racist - now if the MSM can just get them to admit it to a pollster.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And how does one &quot;have the organization to counter that&quot;?  Does it include calling people racists because I&#039;m hearing that an awful lot lately.</description>

		<description>&quot;because of the unprecedented strength of Obama’s grass-roots organizing and voter registration efforts.&quot;  &lt;br&gt;And it&#039;s not  that he has been able to use Project Vote as a front for Acorn (&lt;a href=&quot;http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-ran-acorns-training-sessions-on-power&quot;&gt;http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-ran-ac...&lt;/a&gt;).

		<description>NOT ONE WORD ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WHY! IT IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;STOP supporting illegal immigration! It&#039;s as simple as that. The country now specifically has limited resources and that means we look after our own legal people first.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Those who skirted the undermanned border force thanks to Nancy Pelosi and her retinue, need to appreciate Americans have priority. You cant make a silk purse from a sows ear? If your not in this country legally then go home! FACTS AT &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.NUMBERSUSA.com&quot;&gt;www.NUMBERSUSA.com&lt;/a&gt; The cost is astronomical!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Each state is weighed down with the pressure of supporting illegal immigrants.&lt;br&gt;According to a study by the Heritage Foundation, each low-skilled immigrant household received $30,160 in government benefits - including education, medical care, transportation and sanitation services - but paid only $10,573 in taxes. That means the average low-skilled immigrant household costs American taxpayers almost $20,000 per year. Also, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that low-skilled American workers lose an average of $1,800 a year because of competition from low-skilled immigrants for their jobs. Driving down the wages of American workers is not a route to &#039;economic opportunity&#039; the chamber claims is its goal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even that&#039;s only a half truth, because hundreds of thousands are paid underneath the table. The only winner in this growing mess is the the parasite employer who pays minimum wage and absolutely NOTHING ELSE..Thats left to the taxpayer stiff&#039;s, who are paying for the CORPORATE WELFARE.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enough is enough!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We the American people, are carrying the corrupt governments of third world countries. It&#039;s like we have become a endless dumping ground for poverty-stricken people. Don&#039;t we know we have our own poverty in the United States?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did you know Some five million fraudulent home mortgages are in the hands of illegal aliens, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. How did people living below the poverty line in the majority of cases, get high credit scores to even afford a mortgage. If this is not fraud on behalf of the mortgage brokers and lenders, then I don&#039;t know what is a violation of our credit laws?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The middle class already overburdened with war appropriation funds, is still force to pay for the education, free health-care and Federal, state welfare handouts for illegal criminals.
