"Far left? In America? In the 21st century? Let's see: Russ Feingold, maybe, Barney Frank, possibly. Barbara Lee, D Oakland congresswoman, for sure. that's about it. There is no left wing, Walker. You seem to think anyone who's not indistinguishable from a rethug can't win"
sorry for the lateness of this reply but THANK YOU!!! There really is no left wing in America - it's kind of weird really. I'm Canadian (but a bit of a political junkie) and I kept wondering why I found Nader so appealing every time I heard him speak...then it hit me - he talks like a centrist Canadian politician. Man, when your far left, wacko candidate is Nader, then you really can't talk about the left-wing of American politics.
(still love that Obama though...I'm too lazy to look up the polls, but so does the rest of the world. If America wants to restore its international reputation, well you could do alot worse than Mr. Obama)
cheers!
