You're so niave-- it's cute! The Dems typically bring just as much crazy to the table as the GOP, though in fairness the GOP have been outdoing themselves of late. Maybe it's just not well publicized in England? Well I've only been following along since 2008, so anything before that is pretty much unknown to me. But after Palin, everything kinda pales, y'know? Over here we'll mock anything American, although considering that even your left-wing guys are right-wing from our perspective, Republicans, generally, seem to come from a different planet. The Dems might be crazy, but at least they're crazy in a way we understand, if that makes sense? Although we're also deeply cynical and don't do the deep commitment that Americans do. That is - we generally believe in certain things and then vote for the party which seems most likely to do what we want. But we don't really like any of them, nor do we expect much. (We have nutcases, but their support is... not so much. And everyone loves ridiculing them.)
BTW did you see the video I linked to last night? I think you'd like it! It was blocked! :(
ETA to emphasize that it Mark Hatfeild was implicated in tuition scam I don't actually completely understand. The governor that was sleeping with the 13 year old babysitter was Neil Goldschmit. Ah, that makes sense, thank you.
