I'd have a pretty rough time picking a party close to my ideology if I lived in yankeeland. I mean in my country we have around 15 parties to choose from.
I sometimes get Americans asking me "are you lib or con?" as in "are you a commie pig or a right winged hawk?"
aye frankly I wish they'd just have the manners to leave us alone. I can't watch the tube without seeing a bunch of partisan bickering, and we get fed up with it enough to elect 3rd party candidates (thank you very much Mr Jesse). But I guess they republicans annoyed me a bit much this year with the whole riot-police-in-front-of-my-neighborhood thing. Theres not much room for those who don't either kill babies or drop bombs. I think I'm one of those who will be gladder when this is over. Or will move to Canada.
and I mean really, they won't leave us alone:
if you got this kind of crap in the mail, you'd be fed up with it too
Another thing I don't understand about US politics, why is being 'liberal' so negative there? Don't you want to progress your country, or does liberal mean something else there?

My family were asked what part of London we were from by an American Man on Holiday London and Scotland are the only places that exist in the UK.

Well in America, Liberal usually means extreme, going to far to make their ideas a reality.

Nah... with one on every block, no one ever really gets lost when finding one. If we did need to find one and on the rare occasion there isn't one in sight, our enhanced acute scent smell for McDonalds leaves us with the option of merely tilting out head back and taking a deep breath. Works every time.

Uh, NO. McDonald's fries suck, horribly. Burger King fries are crisp and have flavor. McDonald's fries are all floppy and cold and flavorless.
Also, I went to London with my school orchestra, band, and chorus for the 2008 New Year's Day parade. We stayed for a week. I went to McDonald's and their mcnuggets sucked compared to those in the US.
