And for the second election....there was a newspaper in england, the guardian, that tried to affect the outcome of OUR election, by telling thousands of people, by sending them letters, to vote Democrat, and not for Bush. There are those who say they hate all Americans-----but have any of you ever actually met a real one?Not an actor, a model, a politician, or a New Yorker or a Californian.But from the rest of the country.Know why they seem to not care what happens in the world?I do.Because, between their work, kids, and other things that affect their lives....they just do not have the time.Know why they care not to learn another language?Because, with many of them, they go 400 miles in any direction.....the people there still speak English.Can't say that about too many places in the world.I can go from 60 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico to Chicago, Illinois----a trip comparable to Berlin to Nantes, France--- and still be in a one language place. About our political parties------gonna put it in a perspective for the Germans here. We have 2 main parties, Republican, and Democrat.There is also a third,Libertarian, but it's not exactly a major one----yet. Differences between the three--- There is also a type of difference in `philosophies, with a clear middle ground, a clear left, and a clear right( what we originally meant by " left wing" and "right wing" is because our Senate and House of Representative buildings areboth divided by a central walk, and the democrats occupy the left side, and the republicans the right.this has now taken on a political meaning, with the left being closer to communism( i'll expound on this further later), and the right being closer to what it actually says in our constitution.) Now, there are ultra-hardcore parts of both parties.the hub-bub you hear from the u.s. press is in part controlled by the ultra-hardcore part of the democrat party--- a part of that party that wants, amongst other things, socialised healthcare, more taxes, even on the poor,quashing of any public debate.sound like someone you know? the ultra-hardcore part of the republican party is the part that considers christianity to be the law of the land,having government watch what you do, and other nasty things. the libertarians claim to be " in the middle", wanting less government involvement in our daily lives, less taxes, and ability to have any religion you want.Good as that may sound, that's exactly what the more moderate parts of the Republican and democrat parties want, as well, which is a part of why they may never be a force in american politics----their message isn't that much different than the majority of the other guys, heh. Now, I've heard that "bush wants to be emperor." bush knows this will never happen, he ain't that stupid.He actually has the most racially diverse advisors, called his " cabinent", in the history of american politics.(this can be found out, for yourself.) Those of Us who live in the so-called " red states", the actual middle of america,have a distrust of too much government, hence, in the past 30 or so years, we have had a distrust of the democraic party----and hence why bush's numbers have went down. Say what you want----it's because of this reason, it's because of that reason----but the fact that he has tried to expand government's role in our lives is the main reason. I'll go for now....but if any want to talk to an average, intelligent, red-state living, tolerant, moderate republican american , just e-mail me.before the hurricanes come after me----like ivan, dennis and katrina did the past few years........[/quote]
