		<description><![CDATA[Here we are on January 20th, on the eve of the South Carolina primary, and the day after the latest Republican debates last evening, with CNN moderator John King. It began rather contentiously, when the moderator addressed the latest news item from Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife, accusing Newt of wanting an &#8220;open&#8221; marriage while still married [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we are just two days away from the much-anticipated South Carolina primary. The candidates have performed 15 televised debates, and the last one on Monday reported by the media as being the best thus far. A lot of hoopla by talk show participants and news reporters, about the performance of candidates. Quite frankly, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are in the midst of a very heated vetting process amongst the Republican candidates. It’s like a game of fruit basket turnover as they vacillate in polls relative to who’s on first and who’s on second. No one is really saying anything new, but mostly the same old rhetoric of politicians. I don’t hear [...]]]></description>

There is so much common sense to his writings, so revelant to everyone in today’s political climate, I strongly urge anyone who has not read &#8220;The [...]]]></description>
