Let's Do The Math

I just want to let everybody know that I don't really think either political party knows it's ass from a hole in the ground. They are waaaaaay to concerned with fighting each other than actually making the country a better place. All politicians worry about is getting elected, and then once they get elected all they can concentrate on is keeping the other party from getting credit for doing anything to improve the life of the average working American. Politicians remind me of a bunch of pre-schoolers playing, or is it fighting, in a sandbox.

What I would like to know is how many people are there in America that are hypothetically capable of voting? Out of that bunch, how many have ever actually registered to vote? Out of the registered population, how many got off their asses and made it to the voting booth? Out of all the people who actually voted, how many really voted for Bush? How many voted for Kerry not because they thought he was the best candidate but just because they didn't like Bush? When did we go from a real democracy to a 2-party monarchy?
