Make your own mind up, but I just thought it strange that during the so called cold war, America basically described Communism as Evil. The ideology of communism as far as I can make out, is far from it and ok the Soviet version of Communism was hijacked by despots, but generally speaking, so has American democracy. How can Bush lose the popular vote and then get into power?

Remember - Democracy = government by the people; especially : rule of the majority.
