 BF>> You make it very easy for yourself, blaiming everything on the left, just
 BF>> as we blaim everything on GWB, what's the different?

 RW> Save for the far left, this country would be much better off if it were
 RW> run by the people who represent the center.

You are still confusing me, you think the world of GWB and then say that
the country shold be run by the center.

 RW> Bush's predecessor fooled the
 RW> voters into believing he was slightly left of center, but in reality
 RW> judging by his actions and those he kept close to him during his 8 years a
 RW> POTUS, he was far left.

According to you, everything that you don't believe in is far left.

 BF>> Whatever the left is in your
 BF>> centre eyes. Wasn't it a majority of the American people that voted GWB
 BF>> into power...?

 RW> As a matter of fact, he did not. His opponent in the 2000 election got
 RW> more of the popular votes than did Bush. However, Bush won the election by
 RW> a talley of votes by the Electoral College. He who wins the most states
 RW> with the most Electoral votes, wins the election. Gore won California,
 RW> which has the most Electoral votes and should have swayed the election in
 RW> his favor, it didn't. Had Gore actually won his own home state, he would
 RW> have won the election. Had he been able to win the state of the POTUS he
 RW> served under, he would have won the election (he didn't). It was that
 RW> close.

By this you say that USA isn't a democracy. The POTUS isn't elected by a
majority of the people but of his buddys that can make the most money out
of him.

 BF>> And yet the left are in majority in everything in USA?

 RW> I think so.

Then you live in just as a pink country that I do.

 RW> However, it's not the majority who always wins here.

Oh shit, it is here.

 RW> There is
 RW> the independant factor that, depending on the candidate, will vote left or
 RW> right. It's the independants who decide the outcome by either voting for
 RW> one or the other majority candidates, or a lot of them vote for their own
 RW> candidate. When they vote for one or the other as a 'swing vote', or for
 RW> their own candidate, that takes away votes from the majority candidate who
 RW> will lose to the other. There hasn't been an Independant who could get
 RW> enough votes to actually win an election, but they sure do a lot of
 RW> spoiling of elections.

Why bother having an election at all?

 RW> BTW, I'm independant of either of the majority parties.

It sure doesn't look that way.

 BF>> Didn't you once said you were in the centre?

 RW> Yeup. That doesn't mean I have to like or have no opinion of the left wing
 RW> whackos.

How can you be in the center when you worship everything GWB has done?

 BF>> What about David Letterman and Madonna?

 RW> Worse yet...they're left wing whackos. (That's not to say that Leno and
 RW> Coulter aren't whackos in their own right)

Everyone are whackos to you. Doesn't it exist any more sane people in the
US than you? Talk about having self-esteem.
