what i always find hilarious is when these conservative tv pundits/host/analysts are arguing with someone over the freedom of speech or the freedom of someone to speak against the US and their actions over the world.....when they have no real answer or point to make they always resort to "DONT YOU LOVE LIVING IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT?"

as if America is the sole nation, still, on Earth that allows freedom of speech or that somehow mentioning that point it counters any argument at hand.

i wonder if Sarah Palin appearance on SNL tonight affects any numbers. i really hope she bombs.

You forgot Jesus which is crucial, you can't be Christian and vote Democrat.

I'm not Munson dude. I finished 10th grade and know what Jingoism is.

That's the game where you pull out the slivers of wood until the pile collapses, right?

No, it's the overgrown rodent that eats delicious australian babies.

[Rome]

I'm thinking of getting drunk in a little bit.  DRUNK!

[hbionic]

I vote for jingoistic slogans.

I need to read more.

WEAR YOUR LAPEL PIN AND SALUTE THE FLAG, COMMIES.

Um, go PA?

So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

Maybe this whole democracy thing isn't such a great idea...

So, I'm voting for Barry O but this is a serious question for obvious reasons. Any thoughts on what it would take to get a viable third or fourth party going in this country?

These parties are awful and despite the fact that I really like Obama, I think both parties are so disconnected from reality (and the majority center) that I can't fathom how they could continue to excel on a level playing field...

[rjs246]

By the way, statements about "real america" and "real virginia" are the definition of divisive politics. And they make me unnaturally angry.

Gaming theory demonstrates that conflicts inevitably boil down to two opposing sides. I wish it weren't this way, but I'm afraid that's the natural order of things.

Take Canada. There still remains a great deal more liberals or progressives in Canada. The only thing that has changed there is that several years ago both of the right leaning parties finally agreed to join. Their votes are united. The others remain split. I think it's only a matter of time before their left realizes that they're going to have to similarly join coalitions if they ever want to regain the posiiton of Prime Minister.
