I'd just like to point out that more people voted for Bush in 2004 than any other canadate in history.

Due to the steady increase in United States population numbers, silly. Percentage-wise, then according to the statistics, which Radical Dreamer cited, it was hardly the most well-attended election in the nation's history, nor was Bush's margin the largest.

How am I going to vote now?

PS:Thanks for changing it, its not so evil now

I know it was the largest voter turn out ever, but was that in simple numbers, or percentage wise as well?

Odd, eh? People struggled so hard to have democracy and the chance to govern their own country. When they attain that (after a fashion), half of them throw it out the window. Go figure.

Which other province or state would reelect someone several times that consistantly give his speeches at elections and the like whilst drunk?

British Columbia reelected Gordon Campbell who was notoriously arrested for drunk driving in Hawaii. Hell, I voted for him the second time around.  (First time around I wasn't old enough to vote.)

See, I don't get that. By my logic, anyone with a DUI should be banned from running for elected office, because they clearly lack the responsibility neccisary to run even an automobile. Out of curiousity, how did Campbell do as an elected official?

I actually can't vote in this poll. Most people would describe me as "socially liberal and economically conservative." Which means I also can't vote in the Washington primary, since it is now a strictly two party ballot. Take that, choice!

In general, I support a small government that for the most part leaves people a lone. "That governs best which governs least." I usually vote Libertarian (When I can. Fucking Washington state primary!) even though I don't agree with 100% of their policies, but because they are closer than any other party, both to my ideology, and to becoming a viable third party and giving the American people a real choice in politics.

There are a lot of subtlies in politics beyond liberal and conservative, and in my ideology. So while Daniel saw me as a liberal, he was probably arguing with me about a social or religious issue. In fact, while I cannot recal the particular argument, since ALL of the arguments I've had with Daniel have been over a social or religious issue, I'd say this is most certainly the case. Had the issue of economics come up, it'd've painted a different picture.

Oh, and Daniel: Voter apathy rates in the U.S. are over 50%, I can tell you that much. This means, that when Bush says he had a mandate, given his 51% of the popular vote, he's full of shit. Because that's 51% of the less than 50% of eligible voters in the country. At best, that's a quarter of eligible voters. And even if they are 2/3s of the U.S. population...well, I'm sure you all see where this is going. The only country with worse voter apathy than the States is Switzerland. It's also the only country with more elections. Coincidence? I think not.

Vote porn: The only agreeable choice.
