Not that it matters anymore, but it's not hard to find.

I believe that in the last 40 years, this country's population has moved to a more left-wing viewpoint. The country is left leaning already.

How can you say that when GWB got 51% of the vote?

GWB is definately NOT middle of the road and some of his advisors are (were?) about as far right as it gets.

Because his opponent was equally far to the left. Kennedy will probably be the last Northeastern Democrat to go to the White House. There's a big difference between a guy like him and a guy like Clinton. (Like 100 electoral votes)

But the demographics do favor the 'left' in the sense that urban and minority populations continue to grow. Bush managed to grab a pretty decent chunk of the Latino vote, but Florida remains up for grabs for the next race.

SO, what about that plan strikes you as free-market? A five-point plan that includes:
1) a Premium Rebate Pool wherein money is paid to the government to manage it. aka "Social Security" for health care
2) Government control of prescription drugs
3) Restating the standard practice for a failed med-mal case to lower med-mal claims
4) Make a national regaultory committee on "Quality Bonus"
5) Subsidizing and regulating to ensure computerized medical records
6) Have the People pay more into the Federal Government Saftey Net.

You're right, kev. Nothing socialist in that. Especially in the , "States expand medicaid coverage, and the Fes will pay them."

The exit polls didn't lie - they just have a margin of error too large to be very useful in a close race.

The country, in my opinion leans to the right

I think the country leans left.

The one that many folks wanted...The liberal spin but on things...

Ect.

It all leads to a more liberal trend. Which is normal in most societies.

So, what you're talking about is wishes and not reality.

Some people would like it to be more to the left, but currently it is not.

Semantics.

They wish it therefore the mood IS. They would never try unless they thought they could.

Any many things had support till people pushed to hard to fast.

Janet Jackson would not have pulled that stunt unless she thought tshe could get away with it...

Monday Night Football would not have started like it did this past Monday if they didn't think they could get away with it.

These things are WAY left of what it used to be.
