Only One Democrat Has Won the White House Since WW II with the Backing of a Majority of Voters

Bruce Walker, at EnterStateRight.com (Aug. 2, 2004):

How many times have we heard it? "America is so evenly divided that this election could go either way." The implication is that America is evenly divided on what direction the nation should head and what values the nation should cherish. There is no evidence that Americans are divided, but rather deceived.

Has John Kerry or John Edwards ever even claimed to be liberals? Or have they rather condemned the putative "far right wing" that President Bush supposedly represents? The "evenly split" nation is a boogeyman which the Left always raises when it is out of power or about to lose elections.

Clinton, of course, never got a majority of the popular vote and the two candidates to the right of Clinton did get a majority. Since the end of the Second World War, the Democrat candidate for President has gotten a majority of all the ballots cast precisely once -- in 1964 -- a year after John Kennedy was assassinated.

More to the point, candidates to the Right of the Democrat candidate received landslide percentages of the popular vote in 1952, 1956, 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988 and 1992. Candidates to the Right of the Democrat candidate received a majority of the popular vote also in 1960 and 1996.

Small wonder that Hillary Clinton was so troubled about a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"- the "conspiracy" included most of the American population: that is some "conspiracy" isn't it! As I have noted in a number of articles, about sixty percent of the American people either consider themselves "conservative" or "very conservative" while about only thirty-five percent of Americans consider themselves "liberal" or "very liberal."

Why, then, is the most liberal member of the United States Senate, who has selected the third most liberal member of the United States Senate as his running mate, even on the charts at this point in the election? The establishments elites have made it their business to hide who the identity these particular two johns.

So the surreal comedy of john Kerry railing against deficits or john Edwards standing up for the common man go unchallenged in the seamy, steamy scene that is uncut Leftism. Neither john could be called conservative (as most Americans define themselves) or moderate or even simply "liberal."....
