Did you see what Japan did?

They are unhappy with the liberal party and voted them out. Yep, all 200 of them! Threw them out!!

When your'e unhappy with a party--throw them out.

Hooray for them--that takes guts.

Update:

tv news said--"both parties are called liberal"---one is more liberal than the other. The point is--they voted out the party they were unhappy with. I don't care which is which. I repeat-- they voted out the party they were unhappy with. 200!

    Hahahaha

    You don't know what you are talking about. In Japan, they have

    Liberal democratic party --- the conservatives

    and

    The Democratic party--- the liberals

    You got confused because their terminology is opposite ours. They voted out the conservatives. Re-read the article you got that from and see for yourself.

    They threw out the Conservative party Einstein not the Liberal one, just like they did in the US in 2006 and 2008.

    They threw out the less liberal party in favor of a more liberal party. You have to read all the words in the article.

    LOL. They voted in an EVEN MORE Liberal party!

    Good lord, some Americans give the rest a bad name...The world doesn't end at your shores...At least try to look out from your shells.

    We did the same thing in 2006 and 2008, except the people we were unhappy with were conservatives. Hooray for us!

    Are you retarded? The "liberal democrats" in Japan is a far right party, and the "democratic party" is leftist. They voted the conservatives out of office.

    I thought they voted out the more Conservative Party in a landslide for the first time since WWII....

    ....we'll see what happens to the second largest global economy....

    Won't happen here. Japan is a homogeneous society. America multicultural. With the demographic changes headed the way they are there's no way Republicans will ever hold national power again. Republicans are an almost exclusively white party, despite their token leader. Whites are shrinking with each and every election cycle.

    While we can be wishful of that kind of action I am glad our system does not work that way.

    We can change the demographics in Congress drastically by voting but that is limited by where you live.

    Too many people are happy with the jackass that got voted in.

    Jackass oh that is Republican we can kick elephants out too.

    Japanese voters yesterday handed a humiliating defeat to the Liberal Democratic Party after its half-century of nearly unbroken rule, opting for an untested opposition party that pledged to revive the nation's ailing economy.

    They did it by voting......la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

    Still, questions remain about how Hatoyama and his Democratic Party will accomplish their campaign promises in the face of an entrenched and often unwieldy bureaucracy and a stagnant economy.

    They have the same issues we have and I think President Obama and his crew will do it, and they are making a darn good try at fixing the jackass mess.

    Health care is our issue and people who believe and respond to the Republican lies (Check back in history the 70's, the 90's)

    they would rather hurt the country than help the people, especially if they are poor.

    They were voted out, they didn't get thrown out. The US political system us rigged by big money. We can vote all day, but if the big money wants their corrupt puppet in place it won't matter.
