Both parties hate the extreme far ends of the other party and there is nobody left in the moderate middle. So hatred is high but certainly not at an all time high. We'll survive and it'll be better when either Guilliani or Clinton gets elected and they break this silly "stay the course" "surge is working" nonsense. That's what really has us at each other's throats.

Clinton would break the stay the course crap. Giuliani wouldn't. The man is a social liberal, so he had to develop 9/11 Tourette's to appease his base.

Giuliani wouldn't. The man is a social liberal, so he had to develop 9/11 Tourette's to appease his base.

I think so too. Which is too bad because he was a very successful social liberal who served his city with intelligence and care. But now he's faced with a massive mjority of voters who don't care one bit about justice, economy, trade, law and order, civil rights or their own best interest. All they want is the looniest rabid mouth frothing patriot who will promise to kick anybodys ass anywhere for any reason... because that's the only candidate who they will vote for. And you get a group of intelligent, educated candidates rolling around in the filth saying things like "I would strike Pakistan without consulting them", "I would consider a military option in Iran" and whatever other direct threats to the world because they have no choice.

Half the candidates genuinely want to go around killing desperately poor people and their families randomly, and the other half are falling all over themselves pretending they want to in order to not look 'wimpy'. How long before the Democrats start 'hunting on camera' again to show their undying support of gun-owners.

Meanwhile Pakistan DOES HAVE TELEVISIONS!!!

The only solution I can see is to seperate the North (which actually has the means to fuck up the world for no reason) and the South (which has the slack-jawed desire to only vote for the raving lunatic most willing to work to make it happen).

USAMRIID is in the South, isn't it?

That's not a suggestion, just an observation......

You were talking about the US, right?

USAMRIID???

I dunna understand.
