Politics in America is more like:

1. Tough call

On my hopey-changey days, it's professional wrestling; on my more cynical days, it's the Matrix.

It's most certainly NOT the Jeffersonian marketplace. Even I'm not that pollyanna.

7. yeah, all that "founding fathers" happy horseshit is inoperative

[sandnsea]

8. It is right now

Maybe some day the majority will send the ratfuckers back in their holes, but it's not happening right now. How else do you think Arizona passed such a horrific piece of racist bile?

2. I went for "The Big Game."

Several options could have applied in one way or another, though.

6. Yeah, most of them would work I suppose.

3. A "sit down" on The Sopranos where the bosses decide who gets what part of the take.

4. We need to be able to vote for 1st, 2nd, 3rd choices etc... (a weighted system) (thanks DU gurus!)

[NaturalHigh]

5. Great idea.

I saw several I could vote for but picked the one I thought was best.

9. the first "OTHER"

Because the republicans have gone so far right. President Obama turns out is a Moderate republican. the "Left" really does not exist all that much. or actually the left has become the center.

the only further left one can go is full bore communism... and NO one is that crazed... cept maybe Ron Paul.
