3 @MauronKilom: your description of the German political campaigning is pretty similar to ours, except the worst case scenarios are politicians severely stretching the truth and digging up any possible kind of dirt on their opponents for horrendously tacky and offensive mudslinging. Republicans and Democrats are two faces of the same coin, but most people pick sides anyway because "if you're not with us, you're against us" and smaller, niche parties don't have enough influence to win -- they can only pull votes from the "most similar" candidate which is why I think more people don't go independent, because at least they can vote for the lesser of two evils. 3 @MauranKilom: your description of the German political campaigning is pretty similar to ours, except the worst case scenarios are politicians severely stretching the truth and digging up any possible kind of dirt on their opponents for horrendously tacky and offensive mudslinging.

5 As far as the decline of the "moral America": There have *always* been issues and atrocities that have directly contradicted our founding fathers' ideals, and every day politicians slowly chip away at the vigilance of the population. Bills that are found to be unconstitutional or are otherwise struck down are immediately re-introduced with minor, less dramatic changes which are slowly more intrusive and evil over time. The story of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog]boiling frog[/url] pretty much sums it up. 5 As far as the decline of the "moral America": There have *always* been issues and atrocities that have directly contradicted our founding fathers' ideals, and every day politicians slowly chip away at the vigilance of the population.
