The USA is the only country in the world that could possibly vote in McCain. Of course, the US is unique, so we can't really judge.

Only for so long. The democrats don't have the best record with actually helping the poor.
Most likely they'd end up being replaced by a third party.
Not really there fault though... as it was said....
"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress!"
A national holiday on election day would be nice. Though even then i'm not sure that'd raise voter turnout that much.
If the Democrats are able to rehabilitate our healthcare system, don't expect the poor to leave them anytime soon. New legislation is
Republicans have almost tried to distance themselves from the poor, so I don't really see the poor changing sides anytime soon, not unless Republicans get really desparate. But I don't really see Republicans dropping their pro-business attitude anytime soon.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Am I crazy, or in the wrong thread, or did this used to say something else?
To respond to what it says now, they did a whole crapload of stuff in the New Deal era, and that's what most people seem to think is the sort of direction things are going to go.

It used too but i did some research.
Found out the reason the poorer states vote republican is because richer people in poorer states are more likely to vote republican.
AS for the New Deal era stuff. Last i saw a lot of people don't like the things of the new deal era that are most memorable.
Like Social Security.

Except the democrats are halfassing that.
Making healthcare like car insurance is a crappy idea.
I hate the fact that i'm forced to buy car insurance as it is.
Keep on topic or I'm going to start banning. I'm serious. I love to debate as much as the next guy, but it's almost like we can't have a political thread without it. Keep your pants on folks.
We're talking about Democrats doing things with health care etc. Obama is such a Democrat.
OH BAM!
Seriously though... c'mon. Please?
