Unfortunately, I also think the average American is disassociated and gets by with 15 minutes of information. There were exit polls in Kentucky (I think) during the 2004 elections. The positions people associated with candidates were unbelievable. 30% believed President Bush was in favor of universal health care and 25% thought Senator Kerry supported tax cuts for small business, these were people that were actually voting! There were quite a few other answers like that. Then you have people on the left and right that will vote that way one way or the other, doesn't matter who the candidate is. These are the people that spread bad information, unfortunately because it works on the 15 minute people.

The worst part is, we watch the candidates beat each other up, we beat each other up, and after, the candidates are all buddies like nothing ever happened. We get used, and nothing ever changes.
You forgot the other voters. Ones like a few guys I work with.. and sad to say my late grandfather. They vote democrat because that is what they do! There father did! The unions say to! and damn it! that is what I have always done! You won't find many if any republicans that vote for those reasons. It is really sad. If people voted for what they really believed in for there lifes, the democrat party would not be nearly so liberal. And conservitives would be much more coservitive. All and all a better place.

-conservatives know that the best way to reach other conservatives is on the radio while they are at work or on the way to work.

The best way to reach liberals is TV while the liberals are on the couch.
At work or on the way to work seems to be working fine.......since facts and the truth are not important

On the couch in front of the Plasma TV, after work, with and so full attention can be given to what is being said.

Are you sure about that? Isn't everyone in Bush's cabinet a millionaire? All the Democrats inherited it? Come on, can you say Bush? Obama wasn't born rich, kerry wasn't born rich, Clinton wasn't born rich in fact Clinton and Obama were born quite poor.

I know plenty of people Republican and Democrat, that will vote party lines all the way, every time. Some vote Republican because the NRA told them to, please, don't try to make one side look like angels. I don't get the comparison, Democrats wouldn't be so liberal, and conservatives would be more conservative? Do you mean Republicans would be more conservative, or that everyone would be more conservative? Are you trying to say that if everyone voted for what they really feel, that they would feel just like you? Let's be real, Republicans are being infiltrated by the extreme right and liberals are being infiltrated by the extreme left. That doesn't make all Republicans or Democrats extremists, but to say it's one sided is false.

You overlooked one thing. We conservatives can multitask!
