6. Of course, it didn't begin well, either
Obama, Daschle, Baucus and company lied their asses off about an open and transparent process that considered all options.

And the access bloggers sold us down the river for the meaningless "public option" Trojan Pony.

We. Are. So. Fucked.

3. The reason this happens is because its actually Top vs. Bottom, not "Left vs. Right"

5. I mostly agree with you
The strip's title, "American Extremists" is meant ironically. The positions of the American right are generally extreme. For most practical purposes, the positions of the American left are watered down to meaninglessness. Power sets the tune on the right, and accommodation sets the tune on the left.
