The rest of the world, Europe specifically, just think that the United States is run by whatever political party is in charge. Educated Americans understand that the entire system is a farce, designed to keep citizens convinced that the whole play is in fact real.
Two indomitable factions, both a complete opposite of one another are the two character templates for this 'government', where one side appeals to half of America, and the other appeals to the opposite half. Polarization, like with so many other things, blinds observers and in turn they become believers. Once you fight for something, it's very hard to let it go.
This doesn't mean that the idealism of liberal government is fake, nor does it mean that there is no conservative agenda. There are real protesting liberals and bible thumping conservatives. This system wouldn't work if the men in power didn't reverberate the ideology of the people. It only means that nomatter what, the modern world government is no more real than a professional wrestling match. The informed understand it is fake, but still cheer for their favorite for whatever reason they have. Concordantly, I believe there is some cut-off point where politicians are approached and are instructed that if they wish to go further with their political lives, they must conform to whatever system is in place, meaning... Some city mayor is likely fairly legitimate, but once he or she goes beyond Congress, there are some shady characters who show up and say, "Join us or we'll assassinate your character lickety-split in the media. Remember Tim Ryan?" Or something less dramatic. It would be insane to suggest that men like Rove, Wolfowitz, Kerry, Bush, Nader, and the rest were born this way, determined to become a part of a false system that has been in place since the beginning.
Onto the proverbial meat and potatoes of this thread; Who do you think are going to be the final politicians thrown into the mix by the designing men who run everything to play the parts of left and right starting in 2007 and ending in 2008?
In closing; When you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Everything'll be Alright, instead of asking him how much of you're time is left, ask him how much of you're mind, baby. In this life things are much harder than in the afterworld. In this life you're on your own. If the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy... Punch a higher floor.

It's not as simple as that.
There is the assassination factor. I don't think Schwarzenegger can run because of this... They'd be mad to order him to run, because it would mean his life.
Plus, the neocons love Israel, and Israel would have a fit with someone in office who's dad was a Nazi.
