Did moderates (the famous American silent majority) fall off the face of the earth? F**k these radicals on the left and the right who love nothing more than hearing themselves yelling at each other on the nightly news. It's like they need to feed off all the BS that they spew out of their mouths. Bush has shown that radicals in power suck and I'm afraid that the Democrats may just replace one radical with another and that will also suck for the American people. Don't you just love US politics?

People are always saying how few Americans actually vote but I say it's because the choices the Republicans & Democrats throw out are usually terrible so people don't vote and that just leaves the radicals on the left and right to decide who becomes the next radical President & the whole country is screwed. funny that the last moderate President (Ford) was never elected to be President & I'd take him over some radical any day. Maybe we should have a lottery to see who become US President. Couldn't be any worse than the current one.

Uh, Now. Politics haven't changed. It's the same now as it was a hundred years ago, or 200 hundred years ago, and it will be the same a hundred years from now.
You should relish it, cause that is what free speech is all about.
The 2-party system is the most efficient government there is.

Politics... Ain't it grand? Really, the moderates are not really silent, it's just that there is not enough of us to make a difference. I am tired of people who just vote their party. They are about 70% of all voters. I am a right leaning moderate who believes that all of congress should be given the boot and hold all new elections when they are out of session. The rules should be simple. If you have ever been a congressperson before, you are no longer eligible. Lets do it like we used to. Lets elect people who have real jobs and release them to do their congressional duties during session, and then they go back to work. The pay? None. we give them room and board while they are serving. They keep getting paid from their normal job, kinda like sick leave. F the politicians! They are the cause of almost all the problems and are the solutions for none. Also, there is a 3rd party, and a 4th, and a 5th. They just don't have realistic platforms. Who wants to elect somebody on a party that advocates free drug use? Yeah, we need the person making world changing decisions hitting a bong in the oval office... Like we need a socialist in office with veto power... Come up with a good cohesive stance on realistic issues and a person who isn't afraid to be upfront and HONEST, and you've got my vote...

Now that you ask, yes i do. In 2000 and 2004 when Republicans voted for Bush and Cheney and Democrats did not vote or had the vote put in the trash by Republicans.In 2000 Gore got 50,996,116 votes Bush only got 50,456,169 votes, Gore won. Florida was handed to Bush by Jeb Bush. In 2004 Kerry won Ohio but the bias for conservatives in the high court awarded Ohio to Bush Cheney.
BTW, new poll out today, 25 percent of Americans rated Bush as the most evil person on earth in 2006 above Iran and North Korea's Presidents. Bush was considered a American hero in 2006 by 13 percent.

no I don't remember a time in my life where they could ever do a damned thing except ***** and moan about how sorry the other was , I have always been told when some one is talking bad about some one it is because they are trying to cover u their wickiness
so they both must have did some pretty bad stuff to keep yelling at the other side so much, it does make me sick to think that they have got to stoop to such behavior

WE NEED MORE CHOICES. THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS NOT LEAVING MUCH OF A CHOICE. WE ALSO HAVE ANTIQUATED THINKERS LEADING US. WHERE'S THE YOUNG PEOPLE? WE HAVE A MODERN COUNTRY WITH ANTIQUATED LEADERS. IT'S TIME FOR MORE CHOICE I'M TIRED OF CHOOSING THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS.
