It's human nature to root for any club you're a part of, if only to justify your choice. Consequently, most members of any group look for any hairbrained excuse to bend the issues to suit the predrawn conclusions of their club rather than approaching issues with an open mind. Political leaders are well aware of this & know that the battle for their constituants acquiesence on any issue is already 90% won before they open their mouths. I personally find myself agreeing or disagreeing with one side or the other, sometimes only partially, on the merits of each issue after listening to each sides heavily slanted presentations and reaching a conclusion after doing a little research, mixed with a little common sense, on my own.

Then why are you happy an ass-clown like Al Franken will now be in the U.S. Senate? If you are alluding to Al Gore getting his but beat in 2000, it was Gore's fault for getting spanked in his home state. Had he won his home state, Florida would not have mattered. Anyone that looses their home state should not be President. In fact, it is kind of a scary concept. What do those people now about him that we don't?

Edit: I am aware that stuff goes on to cheat in elections. However, normally when enough people vote, it is minimized. However, there is no excuse for allowing organizations like ACORN to go around causing chaos.

My family is currently registered as Dem here in Fl. You have to pick or you can't participate in the primary. We will stay in the party until the 2010 primaries are over so we can vote against the incumbent Allen Boyd in the primary (Al Lawson will be up against him in the Dem primary). We will then join the Rep. Party to vote in the Gov. primary in order to vote against Crist. Then we will switch to independent.
