Hello of you, it is Japanese kc.
Though there is a question
Do you support President Bshu?
I am not tenable.
It broke off the search it was not possible to find while saying that
there were Weapons of mass destruction and a poison gas munition.
Were tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens killed till then?
President Bshu ..whether the Iraq attack is correct.. thinks that it
should apologize to the Iraqi citizens.
Especially, I want to ask the person of the President Bshu support

Clinton won both times even though clear majorities of the electorate voted against him.  57% of the popular vote was split between Bush and Perot in '92, you will recall.  Dubya has far more of a mandate than Clinton did either time.

I don't see Dubya as an extremist, either.  The Bush family has always been held in ill-concealed contempt by the much-touted "faith-based demographic," who have always considered them to be lukewarm and wishy-washy, or, as Reagan called Bush the Elder in 1980, "a wimp."  In '04 they didn't vote for Bush, they voted against Kerry.

We have a center-right party and a center-left party in this country and there's less difference between them than most people perceive, though now the Democrats are apparently bound and determined to forget the lessons of '92 and '96 and go lurching ever leftward until they fall off the edge of the earth.  They don't see that they're marginalizing themselves, nor do they see that this country needs two parties, two clearly articulated visions about which men of principle can honorably disagree.  I don't think, however, even now, that there's enough difference between the big American political parties to merit "violently polarized" as a description.  "Childishly peeved," maybe.  We don't really have significant numbers of extremists in American politics today, for which I am personally thankful.

In any event, the Democrats are going to have to come back to the center and try to make themselves look respectable again or face the consequences.  Putting Howard "YARRRRRRRRRR" Dean in charge of the DNC is going to come back to haunt them, I predict.  Their pandering to the lunatic fringe is alienating more and more people.  The respectable moderates in the Democratic Party have been jumping ship for over a decade, like Ben Nighthorse Campbell.  They're going to get their heads out of their asses and come back to the center, or see themselves becoming less and less relevant.  I don't want to see that, because one-party rule breeds complacency, arrogance, and corruption.
