Do you have any hesitation today saying The UNITED States of America?
Is North America filled with two countries (U.S. & Canada, specifically) too large to support non-divided nations?
Canada, where I was born and live today, weathered an election this past June, where one can draw similarities with the sense of being divided. Although, our numbers were 36% and 29% between the two most popular parties.
Do you consider The United States of America a divided country? Since your election has concluded, you can't help but notice the diagram of the "Red" and "Blue" states representing Bush and Kerry state victories.
Would you feel comfortable with being the Command and Chief of your country if you only had support from half of the country?
Any idea where can I find stats on the level of education per capita in the states that voted for Bush versus Kerry?
I voted for Kerry, but will support Bush. I can look past my own bias because he is my president, and I will support him. AS I've posted before, We are a country of ideas and principles, and it's heartwarming to know we can discuss this on an open forum, no matter how passionate each side is. We don't riot, we don't throw bombs. No matter how divided we seem, we are still more unified than ever, not as republicans or democrats, left or right, but as Americans.
I can respectfully disagree with my fellow citizens - and I respect their opinions, no matter how different from my own they are.
