The 2012 Election

Because it always requires a dictator to run and no one is paid or rewarded on merit.

Ok, so in your world, Canada, England, France, and Germany are all dictatorships?

To the degree they are Socialist, yes.

If Romney doesn't win the whole thing, at least I hope and pray that he wins Florida.

Why Florida specifically?

The main reason is because if Romney wins Florida, that means that he basically will win all of the Southern States. Romney is going to win Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and hopefully he will win Florida.

What's so great about Romney sweeping the old confederacy if it is all for naught? I'm not seeing the big picture in that hope. Do you attach some merit badge to owning the South that isn't obvious to the rest of us?

Then, because of social security, medicare, public education, taxes, etc. so is America. Of course, no rational person would describe America or any of those other countries as dictatorships, so in seeking to broaden the definition in order to accomodate your bizarre ideas, you have completely divorced the word dictatorship of any real meaning.

I would say Canada has more of a capitalistic economy than a socialist one. The only difference I see between Canada and the states is we have health care for everyone. However; I don't call it free health care because we pay higher taxes for it.
