I also think a "centrist" party is the way to go; most are centrist in their politics, and not far right or far left.

How can Bush possibly get re-elected? Is the US really that f**king stupid?

Wilso, Unfortunately, "yes." It's scary for the whole world, and we're helpless, because most Americans think GWBush is doing a good job.
Most people don't really want to delve into political matters, so they judge him on what he says rather than paying attention to what he does. It's sad.

That's even more frightening, since he sounds like such an idiot.
the American people have a long history of anti-intellectualism,and of preferring the rude talkers over the "elites." I find this especially ironic since Bush is the epitome of the priveledged elite class.
I first thought about going to university, because the intelligence of the many college educated Americans on abuzz impressed me so much. Seems it's unfortunately not a quality that extends to the wider US community.
But then, Australians also elected a total f**king arsehole. So it seems we've got the same problem here.
Yep, a bunch of Walmart-shoppin', Nascar watchin', Budweiser drinkin', dumb asses who made the wealthiest, most technologically advanced society the world has ever known. It's a shame Americans are so stoopid...
McGentrix it sure is....think of what we COULD accomplish.....
Actualy, McGentrix, you and you bretheren were the manual labour that allowed the thinking classes to achieve this accomplishment. Not quite the same, is it? You are kept in line by a steady supply of fatty foods, cheap beer, and cable tv. Thses aren't things I would be overly proud of.
Youch...go 'head on hobitbob.....
Sorry, being facetious in return.

*phew!* I am sure glad of that!
Even a lower classed American is generally better educated and wealthier than 75% of the rest of the world.
Of course I just made that up, but it could be true...
As a memebr of the lower class, you would know. You
do badly need to be more subservient to you betters, i.e. everyone else who isn't you.
I am far too wealthy and educated to be considered "lower class". Besides, us "true Americans" will be around far after you liberals have been banished.
