		<description><![CDATA[It’s probably too negative to suggest that all is lost when it comes to the November elections. But right-wing media is rife with hate speech, lunatic theories abound and misinformation is the coin of the realm for a distressingly large segment of the electorate.
The rants of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and a host [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dreams are not for the taking, especially when they are someone else’s dreams. In Rogers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific the character Bloody Mary sings “you’ve got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?” Martin Luther King’s original message stands alone as an iconic historical [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fabrications often pass for news these days and the borderline personalities who express dangerously silly opinions on air contribute to a surreal atmosphere that inhibits sensible political discourse. Worst of all a potentially treacherous conglomerate of candidates may win in November with a lot of help from our least reliable news sources and newly empowered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a popular notion that rich office-seekers are free of the corrupting influences that burden candidates of lesser means. But self-funding hasn’t proven to be a guarantee of righteousness. Rather, the need to spend hugely on campaigns can grind principles to dust and corrupt the entire political process whether the funds come from lobbyists [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would happen if politicians and partisan pundits dealt with facts instead of the usual propagandizing at which they are so proficient? Would voters appreciate serious examination of troubling issues absent emotional rhetoric and simplistic agendas?
What does it mean, after all to seek smaller government and less regulation and to celebrate American values which, according [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a deep chasm of illogic across which voters must negotiate a leap that may still land them in improbable and fantastical territory. Many theories and much statistical data suggest Social Security is insolvent now or will be soon or will remain solvent for another decade or so. Similar challenges are made about Medicare.

		<description><![CDATA[Partisan gamesmanship in Congress turns every issue into a political slugfest. If a fewRepublicans acted independently more often one could admire the earnestness of their convictions. But by sticking to the party line and saying no to everything in order to thwart the president and skewer Democrats, raw partisanship becomes a blot on Congress as [...]]]></description>
