			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please, vote Obama in the upcoming elections. The man is offering change which is badly needed in the US. Just watch his &#8220;defining moment&#8221; video below. Obama is not only a well-spoken individual but he offers hope for lower taxes, more jobs, low-cost loans for small businesses, better education, affordable healthcare, and more importantly a dignified end to the war in Iraq which has become a total embarrassment for the US and their allies not to mention relief from its escalating cost to the US tax payers. Please, vote for Barack Obama.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despotism is a form of government in which a single individual (the Despot) or a small group of individual rule with absolute power. Despotism has been around for a long time and it is not going away any time soon. Even communities that deem democratic and immune to this type of governance can slowly drift towards tyranny. </p>
<p>The video below is an Encyclopedia Britannica newsreel made in 1946 with the goal of educating classrooms about political science. A fascinating and frightening look at how to judge the level of freedom in your community. And if you think that because you live in what seems as a democratic community just because you get to cast your vote once every 4 years electing some random person that you had never heard of before then think again. The signs of despotism (concentration of economic power, decision making and ownership of the press to the hands of a few people) are everywhere in seemingly democratic countries today. Just watch the video and then take a few minutes to think how your community rates in the scale of despotism and democracy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Words cannot describe how disgusting I find the woman in the video below. She must be the most intolerant and ignorant individual who lives in the US (I really hope that she is the only one!) And she gets to vote in a couple of weeks helping to decide who will be the next leader of the US and commander of the most powerful army on this planet! Make no mistake, she will be voting for the beauty queen.</p>
<p>She must have taken a break from watching &#8220;The View&#8221; to talk to the TV news crew. She doesn&#8217;t like Obama because his mother was an Atheist? Really? She really believes that the Lord will provide for her fat ass when McCain&#8217;s policies cause her husband to lose his job! Are you freaking kidding me? Honestly, why are ignorant people like her allowed to vote? I hope Obama wins the election in a landslide just to piss her off. I am at loss for more words so I will let the video tell the story.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many neoconservatives in the United States. Although you may not agree with their way of political thinking, it is important to know who these people are. After all, the more that you know about the neoconservatives, the easier it will become for you to identify with what they stand for.</p>
<p>Early in his presidency George W. Bush was not seen as having a neoconservative was of thinking. But as time went on, especially after September 11, 2001, this changed quite a bit. </p>
<p>In addition to Bush, some of the most well known neoconservatives in the United States include: Elliott Abrams, Richard Armitage, William Bennett, Jeffrey Bergner, John Bolton, Paula Dobriansky, Frank Gaffney, Jr., Newt Gingrich, Richard Perle, Vin Weber, and Karl Rove among many others.</p>
<p>As you can see, there are quite a few well known neoconservatives in the United States. And if you look back in history, you will see that there are many others who were well known while they were living. </p>
<p>All in all, there are always going to be neoconservatives in the United States. But for many, it is a matter of whether or not these people have the power to change the country. Are you for or against neo-conservatism?  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people get stuck in a rut when it comes to their outlook on the political landscape. This is not uncommon, and in many cases it is a hard situation to get out of. With that being said, changing your outlook on politics is more than possible if you are willing to do so. The main reason that many never make a change is because they live in a bubble, and are afraid to look outside the box.</p>
<p>The best way to change the way that you look at politics is to open your eyes to what is going on. If you are not willing to see the truth and collect the facts, you will probably never change the way that you look at politics. For instance, there is nothing wrong with a Republican being open to ideas that a Democrat candidate is offering. When you look at every side of the situation, you are sure to have a better outlook on politics.</p>
<p>It does not take much to learn about politics. And believe it or not, once you begin to learn more your outlook and beliefs are sure to change. For this reason, take the time to gather factual information and consider opposing view points. If you do, you may find that you have a better grasp on what is going on in the United States today.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you think that it is possible to predict the next president of the United States? When it comes down to it, anybody can guess who will be the next president. But with that being said, there is simply no way to do this with 100 percent accuracy this far away from the election. In fact, until all of the votes are counted, it is quite difficult to say who is going to lead the country for the next four years. </p>
<p>There are many reasons that predicting the next president is impossible. First and foremost, there are too many candidates at this point. When it gets cut down to one Democrat and one Republican, things will clear up a bit. At that point, it will become a bit more obvious who has the lead, and who is playing catch up. But with the way that the political landscape changes from day to day, it is difficult to ever predict who will come out on top. As you know, crazy things have happened with the president election in the past. With the way that things have been going as of late, nothing would be a shocker.</p>
<p>The main issue that keeps things unpredictable is that the voting public can and will change their mind time after time. The candidate that is the front runner right now may find that their lead is all but gone in a few months. You simply never know how the public is going to react to certain situations.</p>
<p>It may not be possible to predict the next president, but it is fun to think about! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 2008 presidential election is less than a year away. With that being said, there is still a lot of work to be done. In the early parts of 2008, the lead Democrat and Republican will gain their respective party’s nomination. From there, it will be between those two candidates to duel it out for the presidency. While it may seem like a long time out, the months leading up to the election are sure to be as fierce and competitive as ever before. After all, the next leader of the United States needs to take control and get the country back on solid ground. </p>
<p>As an American, you should take great pride in your right to vote. If you do not plan on keeping up with the presidential race, you are doing yourself a disservice. Of course, you are not doing the country any favors either. Remember, your vote counts so you should do whatever it takes to learn what each candidate stands for. </p>
<p>In addition to helping the country, the presidential race is always fun to follow along with. It is an exciting time for the country, and one that only comes around once every four years. There will be plenty of coverage both online, in print, and on television. If you pay attention to what is going on, it is safe to say that you will learn quite a bit about the political process.</p>
<p>The presidential race is in full swing, and at the start of the new year things are sure to heat up even more. </p>
