"Bush campaign ads using team"

[Sir_Die_alot]

For me as an outsider, like I said, the elefant and the donkey to me are almost the same species.

BINGO! Now think how your country looks to an outsider. :D

I got a different conclusion though. (and sorry if somebody feels insulted) What I thought was "all the economically important states (except for Texas) are Kerry states while most of the farmer states are Bush supporting. (that's where you get your square miles)"

Not a different opinion at all, unless you are trying to say they are stupid. :)

Anyway, if according to you there is so much difference in opinion, why are there only two parties that play a role?.

That's just how it has worked itself out. :P Power in numbers I suppose, but which you belong to usually has more to do with what you want politically rather than socially. There is really only 2 ways to go politically left or right, after that it's more about how than what. There are up sides and down sides to this arrangement, but we haven't tried to split the country apart for over 100 years so it's working for us. B)

If you want my honest opinion I think a 3rd major party is ready to be born if the right politician(s) would start one, because the Democrat party is becoming more and more fractured (See the keynote speaker for the Republican convention) and spilling into the Republicans. Kerry was a stupid choice for Democrats. I have no doubt Lieberman would be up 5 (maybe even 10) points now, but he was a distant 3rd (maybe 4th?) in the primarys.

By the way I just saw on the news a part about the republican convention (the part with schwarzennegger).
The things arnie said made be become really scared. I just hope the rest of the republican doesn't see things the same way. The things he said about the UN and that it is better that the US arranges things made me wonder if he just doesn't want to have a world dictatorship led by the US. More scary was the huge applause from all the people that were present.

Take in context what America is. Just as Kerry is the no more Bush cantidate, so is America is the no more (insert country here) country. The largest immigrations of people here came when they were tired of their own government's limitations or oppressions. How then do you think people, and people desended from people, who think like this would feel about involvment from their old country in their new country's decisions? As I said like 3 posts ago people in regions tend to think alike, and one thing most Americans do think alike on is independance. One of Kerry's biggest problems politically, is somehow balancing how he can say he will involve the UN more but without stating the opposite of the above, which would kill any hope he has for the presidancy. (If that really stuck, it would be a huge loss)
