Why should you be so scared of democracy, if you believe that Bush has done a good job?

Phew! I'm so glad to hear of this return of the left. Perhaps I will be ambidextrous again (it's been a problem since the last US election, umm, I mean accident).

In the 1600s, they thought that being a lefty was dangerous, because it meant that one had more capacity than the average, right-(handed) people. They were often burnt. Look at how much has changed.

I'm still wondering why McGentrix should publish articles and post here with a regular fear of the popular vote. If Bush has done well enough to be elected by the majority, why be scared of people's free will?

I'm not sure what you mean Drom.

I don't fear the popular vote, I fear an extremist liberal taking office and screwing things up worse than they are.

Be afraid. Be verrry afraid.

In fact, you should stay in bed with the covers over your head until at least November 3rd. :wink:

Go back in your bedroom, get under the covers, and stay there until I tell you to come out, young man. Twisted Evil

I see what you mean, McGentrix. So, do you fear that this has a good likelihood of occuring?

Actually, not a snowball's chance in Hell.
The Democratic Convention should be able to sink that particular fear.

So you can go back in your bedroom, no need to get under the covers, and stay there until the angel of revenge tells you to come out.

(Incidentally, I was waiting for people to confirm how much they fear 'extremist' liberals getting power, for, if one fears that the people shall vote for extremists, one has some fear about democracy in action.)

"Extremist liberals"? What a hoot.

Used to be we were supposed to be afraid of Communists. Now it's the extremist liberals who are bent on world domination? Sounds like jumping on the chair because a mouse entered the room.

Ah - RedHeat has found me, it appears :wink:

RedHeat, FYI - not that it should necessarily make any difference - I consider myself a proud Leftist. The Democratic Party to me is a centrist party of wishy-washy credentials. And yet I think we can do a lot better than what Moore gives us.

Moore is first a GREEN not a Democrat and he's not the sole provider of anything. He is his own man, he doesn't speak for the party but shares their ideals. I think people need to get past this idea that Moore is the ONLY one who is out there representing the Democrats or Liberals for that matter. It's a very diverse party that's what makes it great. He is not the begin and end all. I like some of his stuff, I think sometimes he goes a bit overboard but he says what he feels and I respect that. He stands up for what he believes in and I respect that. He says a lot I agree with but I don't agree with all.

He's one man. Not an entire movement.
