          <body><![CDATA[Amen to your first statement!  After that, not sure which of two responses to give you....  <br/><br/>1) If your point was that conservative policies have failed and have also created an out-of-control, overly large and bureaucratic government, I'm going to have to agree with you...get the government out of our lives!<br/><br/>2) If your point was that conservative policies have failed so we need more big liberal-type, &quot;compassionate&quot; programs, then I have to disagree.  Get the government out of our lives!  <br/><br/>Sorry, I have no problem with torturing terrorists...I'll do it myself, if need be.  And if the price of removing a dictator is that a few companies that produce war products make some money...again, I have no problem (incidentally, it definitely created a lot more jobs than Obama's &quot;stimulus&quot; joke).  And the people in a stadium?  I really don't know what you want the government to do with people who continue to live in the paths of hurricanes and don't heed warnings to evacuate....incidentally, I do know many religious organizations helped out...and they definitely can do that better than the government...<br/><br/>Nice &quot;chatting&quot; with you....Cheers!]]></body>
