		<description>Don&#039;t feel too bad Republicans, your guy DID have an effect on foreign policy.

This treaty has been long in the works, going back to Pres. Clinton and Pres GW Bush. If there is a nuclear strike on European or American soil, the blame for a the lack of a deterrence system, as well as the loss American defense jobs building the system, is on his head.

On the plus side, think of all the dead Americans and NATO allies his church will be able to baptize.</description>

		<description>Thank you Raven and Izy. You have explained perfectly what is wrong with the Right and what is right with the Left.  Now this is not an observation of extremism, just a observation of what the truth really is.  Some of you right wingers with blinders on are just so ignorant to the facts it&#039;s not funny in the least.    

To AnAmerican, should I say AntiAmerican, because you are towing the anti-American way of NOT knowing and speaking the truth. THIS IS A REPUBLICAN, TEA PARTY, REPUBLICON, TEABAGGER ECONOMY!!!!!!   The Bush II era war in Iraq particularly raised the debt to nearly where it is.  Do you know that we are in a severe financial crisis???   With such a situation the Federal Government is the only entity that can spend enough money to quell such a storm. The Stimulus DID work to stop the bleeding.  The Tea Idiots held the country hostage in the Debt Ceiling negotiations, which slowed job growth, consumer confidence, and the over all growth and recovery in the economy  that WAS happening before that.  The Republican House has blocked 3 jobs bills, has previously held the American people hostage over keeping Bush era Tax cuts for the wealthy who don&#039;t need them....  Romney said it himself, &quot;I know the very wealthy are going to do just fine whoever is elected,&quot;.  

And then there is the disenfranchising of minority, young, and  elderly, voters across the country with the Voter ID laws. And on top of that the War on Women.  YOU right wingers need to get a clue that America is about the rights of its citizens granted by the Constitution, and not about lies, Faux News, and special interests!</description>

		<description>Regardless of whether Romney should placate Russia and sooth them and their feelings ... give me a break ... they have not given up their plans to bury us ... yet ... saying it would take them 50 year ... times up right NOW ... could come any day ... However ... OBama will literally be giving away our ability to defend ourselves ... even if all of you agree with him doing this ... it&#039;s a very bad idea to lower our guard or abilities at any time in the near future ... but OBama will be doing it if he gets the chance.

And if he does, it will play into the hands of our enemies ... yes ... we still do have enemies ... even if you all don&#039;t realize this. 

GOD Bless and preserve our Nation and us all and the Russians and Chinese too and the whole world.</description>

		<description>To the one who says Russians are protesting Putin - Which Russians? If you&#039;re referring to the Middle-Upper Classes of Moscow and St. Petersburg, you&#039;re probably right, but I can guarantee not all of them are. But with the rest of the country, a MAJORITY are firmly behind Putin. I wouldn&#039;t blame them, the 1990s under Yeltsin was a HORRIFIC MESS and Putin cleaned up a fair deal of the mess.</description>

		<description>War &amp; Peace are two sides of the same coin.  Humans are territorial by nature to gather &amp; protect resources needed for survival.  In order to deter war and create peace, a nation must prepare for war.  A nation must make it unthinkable for its boundaries &amp; interests to be invaded.   China has deployed their first Aircraft carrier.  China has systematically invaded America’s infrastructure and stolen her industrial secrets (check with the FBI).  China is threating our ally Japan (you know.. where all the IPAD parts are made)   Chevez has been re-elected.  Russia has inked a weapons deal with Iraq.   Iran will soon have the bomb.   Obama plans to cut $2 trillion from defense spending.   If that makes you feel warm and safe at night than go ahead and vote for him, America’s enemies are counting on it.</description>

		<description>All you #### morons that are slobbering all over Putin and defending the facist Obono...oh excuse me, Barry, oh wait...we&#039;re not sure who this idiot is...oh yeah the great pretender.  ANYONE else is better than this moron in office.  Just like that idiot Oboma thought his mic was off while commenting to Medmev to  be more patient and tell Putin that after the election I will have more flexability to do what I want...yep to sell the US down the river to Russia.  So, since all you idiots are so in love with Obono...after he gets his ass handed to him, you call all move to Russia and join the rest of the socialist.</description>

		<description>Putin is just flexing his muscles. He&#039;s been opposed to this new missile system since it&#039;s inception. This is just another act of frustration on his part.</description>

		<description>Romney has made some very reckless and irresponsible remarks but what&#039;s most troubling for me is his obvious blind allegiance to the State of Israel, seemingly above the best interests of the US and certainly something that would provoke even more struggles with diplomacy in the Middle East.</description>
