		<description>I don't think Lee intended to bash his opponents.  He just expressed his thoughts as he viewed.  It's funny the Lefties in Korea don't seem to like to be called as such.

Also interesting is that the boy who grew up in a shanty town and worked as a scavenger in his younger years has become the Presidential candidate of the Conservative party of the country.</description>

		<description>Well, Chu's demand that Lee publicly declare himself "pro-America", it smells of desperation.

The opponents of Lee have already assumed that the conservative voters, and those who are disillusioned by the current progressive administration's dubious track-record are already lost-cause to them, while the younger liberal left-leaning voters are a lock for them. The big question is... where will the moderate center go?

Obviously, Chu wants to portray Lee NOT as moderate center-right, but a far-right, while portraying herself NOT as far-left, but a center left. When she says "declare yourself pro-America!" she's obviously not expecting and answer from Lee. She's simply saying to the majority of voters who are somewhere between far-left and far-right, "look, he's way, way, way right!"</description>

		<description>#8.

My words exactly, Robert.


#9.

I blockquoted that because I was quoting what Lee Myung Bak said.  When you quote someone, you obviously add quotes or in this case blockquotes.  Don't get me wrong, I have no love for the so called "progressives" and the 386 dumbasses and thugs who make up the ranks of the "progressives".</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;It just comes off as very sadaejuui.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That's no doubt what Lee and the GNP would like the US to believe after blowing crack smoke up its ass.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;This presidential election is a battle between the pro-North leftists and the right-wing conservatives.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You blockquote that as if it's less than completely true.</description>

		<description>Not that I want to defend Chu Mi-ae, but why is Lee Myung-bak bashing his political opponents to &lt;i&gt;the US ambassador&lt;/i&gt;? The US embassy has no say in who gets elected in December. It just comes off as very &lt;i&gt;sadaejuui&lt;/i&gt;.</description>
