secondly, yeah a "true" democracy would be doing whatever the majority wants on everything which could easily spiral into mob rule. having 3 separate and equal (at least theoretically) branches of government power and all the checks & balances in our system is the reason it's lasted this long.
I admire the optimism.

lol... no I'll ask the same populace that just put Republicans in Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, and governors in Democrat strongholds NJ and VA. Using David Frum's commentary as your "go to" source on Republican or Conservative reality is akin to consulting John McCain on campaign strategy. His accusation of talk radio being the catalyst for GOP defeat is stupid, for lack of a better word. Rush has been making the same arguments since 1988 and there have been some rather significant GOP victories between then and now. And, his nonsensical insult that he doesn't believe what he's saying and is only firing up the rhetoric to fatten up his own wallet is rediculous... and funny because ironically he got outrageously outraged the very next day when Paul Gigot at the WSJ accused Frum of selling his views to be part of the beltway elite.
We won a state election! We won a state election! THE NATION LOVES US!!!
Corzine was corrupt, Coakley was incompetent, and Creigh Deeds couldn't put on his pants in the morning. Hell, even I almost voted for the Republican in VA.

I actually might campaign for Republicans come November. I want to see just how ed up they can make this country. I also feel it would encourage and drive my own ideal solutions to my regions problems.
Just wait till the right wing east and south do something stupid enough to make the entire west coast leave the union. We will have the rest of the country by the nuts. Enjoy your cheap chinese goods now s, when they cost twice as much coming through us. ;)

As we all know, trends are everything.
It's hard to predict November elections in January.

We already have one and it goes to Vancouver too...
See unlike the east and maybe southern california we value our migrant workers because they do jobs we do not want to do. For the most part there are not too many complaints of immigrants up here besides a few crazies.
Eastern Washington and the Oregon Orchard areas have had a long tradition of supporting migrant workers and their families. :)

Haha... whatever you gotta tell yourself man. Those were totally insignificant victories coming off the heels of a major Democrat win in November. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain ;)
Yeah... we'll see how long James Carville's prediction of 40 years of Democrat majority holds up. Since, you know, there hasn't been any gross overreach and corruption in the last year or anything.

lol... what? How would the West coast theoretically have the rest of the country by the balls? California is bankrupt and your own state won't even be able to fill medicare perscriptions anymore at Walgreens starting in 3 weeks. You got some sweet forests and though! :stongue:
