Democrats Rebound in Final Countdown


Recommended Posts

Race for president back in balance

Democrat uses TV debates and anger at Iraq to eat into Bush's lead in polls

Ha! Ha! Ha!

I can't belive my eyes, less than a month to go before the US election, and do my eyes deceive me, or are Americans finally coming to their senses, and are going to reject giving Big Oil Cheney's puppet Bush, a second term?

Only in America! Truly amazin' :lol:

What a change in tone from

Maplesyrup's other ranting

I am surprised at the left wing folks who thought Ralph Nader was part of the problem in helping to get rid of Bush.

Ralph Nader is the beginning of the solution, and Kerry and the Democrats are part of the problem.

Has your opinion changed, Syrup?

Now that the polls have this election as "too close to call" or a "dead heat", don't you think that the votes Nader takes away from Kerry, even though it's just a percentage point or two, could make the difference?

Do you now see why "the left" thinks Nader is a problem? Do you see why *Republican* supporters were working hard to find enough nominations to get Nader's name on the ballot in more states?

Wouldn't Nader be doing "the left" a favor if he went and did a backflip into an empty pool?

Not so fast MapleSyrup. As much as I would also like to gloat, the election hasn't taken place yet.

Now that it's obvious Americans are too stupid to vote for Nader,

It has always been obvious that nobody would vote for Nader. Always, always, always. The guy never had a chance of doing anything other than taking votes from Kerry. The only people who don't recognize it are you and Ralph. :P

I've always wondered how the U.S. could call itself a real, vibrant democracy with only two political parties.

Do more parties equal more democracy? Having 5 major parties in Canada gave us the Chretien era of almost autocratic rule.

That's more symptomatic of the electoral system.

The problem with having two parties (and remember, Canada has traditioanlly been dominated by one or two parties as well) is that there's a tendency to clump together in th emiddle. Sure, there's drifts rightward (like the G.O.P or CPC) or leftward (NDP), but for the most part, party politics depends on appealing to the broadest spectrum of the electorate as possible, which invariably results in the creation of watered-down, unprincipled political machines bent only on gaining and retaining power.
