Like most Americans, I like democracy, at least the idea of it. That is, I like the notion that I go out in November, vote, everything gets tallied up, and then whoever gets the most votes becomes the leader of our executive branch, while the loser graciously acknowledges that they failed to meet the requirements as lined out in our Constitution and goes on with their lives. Unfortunately, democracy opens with it the realm of the bickering, as seen with the pathetic state of Kenya as a contested election has resulted in ethnic cleansing.

Fortunately in the United States, we haven't had to endure this level of democracy induced psychosis, but we do have our own version of paranoia, conspiracy theories, and other ugly aspects of human nature that comes out when they realize that they simply didn't have what it took to become the leader of the nation.

This election season, watching outspoken Democrats and far left liberals in a proverbial flow chart of behaviors and emotions has been amusing to say in the least. In 2008, with a president with an approval rating of 35% and a hostile Congress, all that was really needed for them to win was a decently moderate Democrat who could cash in on the disenfranchised Republicans who are more focused on the economy. However, perhaps misinterpreting the George W. Bush inflicted GOP weakness, Democrats have turned this into a Far Left minority race, hoping to strike the political iron while it is hot and shifting the country to their spectrum of thinking.

Interesting. I'm no Democrat and I'm definitely not Republican. So, I'm going to sit back and watch the powerhouses and their corporate sponsers fight over the presidency. Mean while I'm going to throw my support to Ralph Nader...vote for a third party candidate if you're tired of the corporate greasers and their slimy ways.

So you think Obama is a weak alternative to Hillary? I'm not sure you've been paying attention closely enough. Obama will potentially be a monster general election candidate. He has energized many new voters, large segments of the Dem party and independents and even some Republicans love the guy. The rest of teh Hillary supporters will gladly jump on board and anyone so racist to not vote for him because he's black, probably wouldn't vote for a Democrat anyway. He is one of the strongest politicianss to hit the scene in decades

I never said the Clintons aren't powerful--only disputing what you said--that the election is all about the Clintons winning again. If the party was in "lockstep", as you say, we wouldn't have as close a race right now between Obama and Hillary. Democratic party powerhouses are backing Obama and so are large segments of Democratic voters. That is not lockstep or single minded Clintonism.

MasterPo--as usual you are totally off base. How the hell is the election all about "the Clintons winning again" for Democrats? If you haven't noticed, there is an enormous wave of support for Obama, and many prominent members of the party, as well as Democratic aligned organizations have endorsed him. He's now running neck & neck with Clinton in national polling of Democrats. How does that amount to Dems only caring about the "Clintons winning again" and no one standing up to them? By the way, its the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, not DEMOCRAT party; the saying is, *intents and purposes*, not *intense* and purposes; and you spelled coup wrong, unless you are talking about a car(coupe).

You know, I aim to please people in stupid looking Mexican wrestler masks, I'm glad I succeed in this goal.

"Far Left", "Left" and "Liberal", are not things that you would capitalize--do you know that? Ya Know, Rallos Has The Same Habit And I Am Beginning To Suspect That You And He Are The Very Same Person. In any case, who are you referring to when you say "Far Left" anyway? You mention moveon.org--are they part of the "Far Left"? I've noticed that the segment of the population that people like you call the, "Far Left", usually hold positions that are in the majority of public opinion--such as opposition to the Iraq occupation, support for universal healthcare(call it "socialized" if you like Chadd/Rallos), and highly regulated capitalism. Your opinions, Chadd, are in the minority, and yours in particular consist of unsubstantiated paranoid theories--like your Islam-is-taking-over-the-world-because-the-3 Little Pigs-has-been-phased-out-in-the-UK. You are amusing Chadd
