		<title>Republican Party is the Big Tent Party.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t be fooled by the empty rhetoric of Arlen Specter.  Out of political self-preservation, he switched parties.  No ideological change occured &#8212; he himself said that none of his opinions have changed.  He won&#8217;t be voting differently.  He did this for one reason, and one reason alone:  he couldn&#8217;t win the Republican primary, so he [...]]]></description>
