		<description>Well, that about settles it.  An endorsement from "patryot", given his/her previous psychotic rantings pretty much speaks for itself:

Oct 11th: "When you go to the hospital, do you leave when you find out that your health care provider is black or muslim? If so, you are a racist. This website promotes racism and hate. It’s a functionary of the KKK. You guys must love the Palin Hitler rallies."

Keep it up.</description>

		<description>Don't right wingers get it?  As you whine about your petty concerns, be ready to be left behind. All Republicans are irrelevant if they don't cease with being the party of negativism and hate.  We don't have the stomach or the time for your personal grievances.  Look to actually becoming constructive instead of constantly complaining and trying to destroy anything that might be positive.  I'm sick of it. 

And by the way, I have known Steve Smith all of my life.  He is honest and always does what he thinks is best and not what is politically expedient.  I wish him well on the bench.</description>

Former officer - go over to the anti site where they make up stories about Stewart and Stirrup and call them racists on a routine basis. Not a week goes by without Gotthardt or someone else posting about “racist Stewart” or something like that. She also has pet names for Stewart and Stirrup that are demeaning. Apparently for you it is OK that it is done over there but not over here. Double standard?????? '''

Give me a break.  If it's wrong at that site then it's wrong here as well.  I don't even know where the anti site is and I don't care to know.  I am a conservative all the way but I also know there are always two sides to every story.  I'd like to see this illegal immigration issue fixed but I don't have all the answers.  I just know for a fact that Steve Smith is an honorable man and there is nothing anyone here can say to change that.</description>

		<description>Maybe the former officer would feel more at home on the anti site where they routinely bash and lie about electeds like Stewart and Stirrup and anyone else who does not agree with their wack views in the most un-charitable way possible. . .</description>

		<description>Hey Citizen.

It's the false accusations and misleading lies where I have a problem.  Just because you have the 1st amendment right to say stuff doesn't make it right. Politician or not.</description>

		<description>Former officer,

Hmm, Smith is an elected official and as such should either collect a backbone and some thick skin, or should not hold office.   obama is sort of the same type of elected official.  Look what he did to Joe the plumber, Rush, etc when they dared to speak out against him.   

Americans have always held the right to bash public officials, and in fact there has always been a market for political cartoons etc.  

How dare you jump on people for voicing their opinions of our elected officials.  

Maybe you have not noticed, but America kicked the King out a long time ago.</description>

		<description>I am not a member of anti anything so don't go there with me.  I've known Steve Smith for many years and I know he is indeed an honorable and ethical man.  He's lived his life in such a way he can hold his head high and be proud.  The name calling here for someone who may or may not agree with one position is deplorable and you should be ashamed of yourselves.</description>

		<description>Dear Patriots and Tea-Partiers,

We have our permit from the National Park Service. It's a go!

Saturday April 25th, beginning at 11:00 in the morning and dispersing by 1:00pm. Just a couple of hours out of a beautiful spring day. 

We will be gathering in the south-east quadrant of LaFayette Square, right across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. And what a great location! Red line Metro stop is Farragut North. Orange/Blue line Metro stops Farragut West or McPherson Square . There may be street parking available, but it will be hit or miss. Follow the Tea Party links on our website to see a map of Lafayette Sqare. 

If you're coming from Northern Virginia, we might suggest parking in the big parking garage at the Ballston Common Mall in Arlington . It's a couple of short blocks south of the Ballston Metro stop on the Orange line and is not very expensive.</description>

		<description>Since his fellow Council member removed my comments on MSOTF, I will repeat them here, knowing Greg will not remove them....

Great, another liberal judge to put  up with.  The new friend of illegals on the bench. 


Of course Dave Core should be considered.   But, somehow, even though the majority of the Council members have an "R" next to their names, there is only one true "R" on the Council and will be canceled out in the vote to replace Steve.</description>
