Welcome to a world where reality is multi-dimensional. As a result, the whole world was watching and four dead in Ohio. Who represented the interests of the American soldier? No one on that one dimensional line.
Do we vote for the Republicans who see enemies everywhere? Or Democrats who were led by the backboneless such as Tom Daschle? If there is a good and a bad in a one dimensional world, then all choices were bad.
Why was Ross Perot so important? His 20% shook up anti-American Republicans and Democrats who suddenly realized neither was working for America.
Good and bad does not exist. The extreme left and extreme right only represent those who routinely know - facts be damned. If there is anything approaching bad, then bad are both extreme left and extreme right. A one dimensional analysis implies that a person closest to the center is the only good choice. But in America for most of the past decade, intelligent people did not even exist on that one dimensional line. Where is the politician who routinely told the truth about "Mission Accomplished"? He is nowhere on that one dimensional line.
Informed people accurately described "Mission Accomplished" for what it really was - a lie. Where on that one dimensional line was the accurate position? The line assumes good and bad - completely ignores another dimensions called accuracy, honesty, or what is called the true American patriot. Where on that one dimensional line were people who told the truth? Neither existed on that line because wacko Republicans see enemies everywhere and wacko Democrats had no backbone (went right along with the lies).
