		<description><![CDATA[Then let&#039;s be open and upfront in the questioning: &quot;How patriotic are you? How do you demonstrate your love for your country?&quot; If those are the questions that people want to ask, ask them.

But this idiotic obsession with flag pins is insulting not only to the candidates, but to the intelligence of all voters. 

You&#039;re exactly right that no one is questioning McCain&#039;s patriotism. No one is judging his patriotism by whether he wears a flag pin.

The flag pin flap surrounding Obama sounds suspiciously similar to the rumors about him being Muslim or educated in a madrassa. All are attempts to smear him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Questioning Obama&#039;s patriotism is certainly valid, judging by the company he keeps.
No one is questioning John McCain&#039;s patriotism.  It would be quite laughable if one were to suggest that a man who spent five years as prisoner of war being beaten daily is not a true patriot and a great American.  Just a thought though...
