    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

      Someone just posted in the lounge that a seat has been won by the 'pirate party'. Or something like that.

        Well, I certainly wouldn't object to the "liberals" going back to Europe, or wherever is appropriate.

                  That'll probably be the party I join then. I would never join a party like that in the US, but if I were living somewhere I was genetically indigenous to, why not? Nothing wrong with it is there?

                      You only have to watch the speech by the first one to make it in to see part of the reason. They present themselves as reasonable and "in touch" with the people and their current concerns (which are many, considering the current expenses fiasco and the dictatorial way our current government is behaving), but it's all superficial...dig a bit deeper and you uncover the real nasty stuff (e.g. the candidates past in the National Socialist movement and the National Front) - some of which the election coverage dug into. To me it was quite frankly terrifying. The reasonable face of Nazism being given airtime on the BBC.

                            The problem is Robert Byrd would be considered a conservative over there... so that's not saying much.

                                  Of course European conservatives favour things like single payer health care. A larger proportion would be Democrats in US terms. Perhaps Lebanon would be a better bet: Pro-Western Bloc Defeats Hezbollah in Lebanon Vote[^] I wonder if there is any Obama effect in that result.

                                      Not at all. You won't find me calling (for example) David Cameron or Norman Tebbit Nazis, but Nick Griffin and Co. as surely are as you are a strawman (and a pretty piss poor one at that). I'm off to bed now, so don't think that any further drivel you post will be read by me because it won't be....
