You could learn US history. I understand that living in Texas means you got a very substandard education but as a right winger I figured you would be all about private education.
here are the Jackson links I was mistaken in one thing...it was Adams that had the presidency given to him by the house not Jackson. Also note that all of this is completely constitutional, if no one gets 50% of the electoral college votes the House picks the winner (find your own link to the constitution) I am assuming that you have at least heard of the constitution, I don't expect you to know it considering you are a right winger and all.

As for Southern corruption well putting police blockades outside of poling places in black communities reeks of corruption...Also note that Chicago isn't the only place that the dead vote
(I would give you links to news reports of both of these occurrences, but seeing as they didn't come from Rush you probably wouldn't believe them.)

as for my california statement, i never said what cali was, left or right, just that i dont argue with them due to the fact that they dont live in the same world as everyone else.
the leftist was meant to be aimed at berkly area. they do seem to be the loudest. and i actully rank as a moderate conservative, and i live in texas. so i am as far south as u can get.
and backlash is a fact, it happens on both side, not just the right or left. one side gains a distinctive advantage, and something happens that causes resntment and the other sides gains power from the back lash that follows. and a movement is born that swings the balance of power slowly at first, but by the time we have equalibrium, there is to much momentum to stop, and it continues to swing untill the populace gets dissatisied with it and beagins to rebel, and the pattern repeats. normaly the backlash in america is minumal due to the fact the ppl have a say in govt. in other countries it can be bloody. currently i think we are starting to move past the equlibrium into the left.

This I would agree with it seems unfortunately with each swing of the great political pendulum those of us in the middle get more and more marginalized.
