There’s 2 America’s alright–the followers of God and his word (can be dem. or rep.–those ought not be ones defining identities and ruling philosophies anyway) and the followers of the worlds gods–immorality, money, “sex? yes fine anytime with anyone, pass the morning after pill, thank you. Yup, 2 America’s alright.

Also, I disagree with Dave’s statement of Democrats endorsing “tax fairness”. My feeling is that one side feels that income tax should be paid by those who can afford it, and the other feel that income tax should be paid by an equal percent, regardless of total income or ability to pay for it. However, one should recognize that neither method is wrong, they are merely different ideals. Personally, I’m in favor of no income tax and instead have a flat sales tax, therefore everyone pays the same amount of tax in percentage value, whether you’re rich, poor, citizen, resident, or foreign visitor.

The reality is that a significant number of the people who voted for Bush (many of whom will vote for McCain) believe that the United States should pull out of the United Nations. They really don’t care what the rest of the world thinks and especially of what the rest of the world thinks of us. Bush and his henchmen have created a mentality of “You’re either with us or agin’ us.” (”Agin’” means “against” in his phony Texan-speak - it used to sell well with his base.)

Many of us are glad to hear the rest of the world offer their support to Obama, but in the Red-State view of the world, that just fuels their pathological hatred of things not of the United States. Many Red-Staters consider Obama a foreigner, even though he was born in Hawaii.

As for the last 8 years - remember - Bush didn’t win by much either time and he lost the popular vote in 2000. That year, he was appointed by 5 out of 9 members of the Supreme Court, all 5 of whom were appointed by Republican Presidents, including Papa Bush. It’s not like Baby Bush had massive support, though he certainly acted as if he did.

America is really two countries living within the same borders. There’s Blue America that embraces science, progress, tax fairness, safe abortion, gay rights, and a strong middle class. There’s also Red America that embraces literal Bible interpretation, guns, NASCAR, back-alley abortions, the death penalty, and a two-class system where a small percentage of people have all of the wealth, like Haiti. We do have some folks in the middle, but, as far as I can tell, it’s frequently more because of apathy and disengagement than anything else.

Thanks for your support, but it might not have the intended effect. Your message is welcomed by people already voting for Obama and probably viewed with intense rage (based on the pathological anger I see in the blogs) by many who are not.

I love how you conservatives will always try to shift the blame for all of the problems you’ve created onto the left. The country is on to you now and your Rovian tactics are going to cost you more and more votes in this and every subsequent election. Keep up the good work - we’ll gladly take those votes away from you.
