your politics is as dirty or even dirtier than in India... the only difference is that your politicians are funnier (even when they don't mean to be funny)...

History question (because i'm too lazy to browse the net to find out) :
Has American elections always been between only Democrats and Republican parties?

FRANKLIN, Ind. (AP) -- A Republican county election clerk distributed copies of an apparent chain letter referring to Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama as a "young, black Adolf Hitler" to two employees but later told police she intended it to be a joke.

GREEN, Ohio - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has failed to tell “the complete truth to the American people” about his relationship with a violent 1960s antiwar activist, Republican nominee John McCain said in an interview airing Thursday.
In a joint interview Wednesday with Brian Williams, anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” McCain and his vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, repeatedly questioned Obama’s ties to William Ayers, a co-founder of the Weather Underground, which claimed responsibility for a series of bombings in the 1960s and the 1970s.
In the NBC interview, parts of which the network is airing over three days ending Friday, McCain went out of his way to tie Ayers to Obama, a senator from Illinois. At one point, he changed the subject back to Ayers when Williams asked him about an unrelated issue.
“People can make up their minds, as, again, I say about Mr. Ayers ... the full extent of the relationship with Senator Obama is not known,” McCain said.
“And Senator Obama has not been forthcoming. He has not told the complete truth to the American people, nor did he tell the truth to the American people when he said he would take public financing and signed a piece of paper if I look back when he was a long-shot candidate.”
Palin resisted the suggestion that if Ayers was a “domestic terrorist” — a standard line in her campaign addresses — then so were conservative religious activists who bombed abortion clinics.
“I don’t know if you’re going to use the word 'terrorist’ there,” she said. “It’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch. But if what you’re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayers as an unrepenting domestic terrorist, I don’t regret characterizing him as that.”
lol. that just about sums it up. when they're doing it, it's terrorism, when we're doing it it's not.

Guys guys guys... It's the ECONOMY, STUPID!
We have had other parties, primarily the Independent Green Party, that has had elected officials in a few offices. But primarily the Dems and Repubs have been the main players over history.
Yes, people voted for her. Just goes to show any freak of nature with money could end up being elected to office, at least in this country.
Get ready for more voting fraud. The Republicans will stop at nothing.

Republicans are criticizing Obama for taking a private jet to visit his dying grandmother.

Here's another Republican lie exposed. The shale debate. Larry Kudlow, the CNBC right-wing fucktard, continues to lie on his show. I hate that guy.

So now Palin says people criticizing her spending $150,000 on clothes is "sexist". I wonder what Joe the plumber thinks about blowing $150k on clothes for the wife.
