Yes, it's the way it is! And YES, that's precisely why McCain lost.... he was too "left-wing" for the right and too "right-wing" for the left, and the rest voted for Ron Paul because they are clueless idiots. The country is mostly RED! The East and West Coast are BLUE! Some of the liberal, union-owned, government-loving, North is also BLUE. There is very little "Purple" just as there is very little "Grey" in America!
I talk about bunkers and civil war, because I honestly think that will be what it takes to wake you people the fuck up, and get you to realize you don't have a monopoly on ideology in America! You just keep fucking pushing for more and more, castigating the right, calling us names and belittling us to no end, and eventually, even the mild mannered among us are going to get fed up with it. When all hell breaks loose, you will be one of the doe-eyed-Nancy-Pelosi-looking idiots who doesn't understand why everyone is so pissed off! But it will be WAY too fucking late for moderation, it will have to be settled the way we've always seemed to have to settle our disagreements. That fucking day is coming, and if you don't wake your liberal asswipe buddies up soon, it may be coming faster than you think.
