Well, I'm not American, but here in NZ the bi-polar democracy is pretty much the same. Instead of 'Republican' and 'Democrat' we have 'National' and 'Labour'. In which case I still vote independant, although I voted Labour (left of centre) in the last election. It all boils down to who looks as though they'll get the job done. The Labour candidate, Helen Clarke, certainly seems to be the most capable of the bunch right now. So, in other words, I lean toward the left of the centre at the moment, but I'm still young. I'm sure I'll be a grizzled old rightist curmudgeon before my time is up. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But hey, they're all politicians. They give rhetorical speeches for a living, and we let them... who's directing who?
