Re: USA no longer equipped to practice democracy said by Sammer:said by markofmayhem:The electorate is stuck choosing their candidates in less than 30 seconds of thought process due to one of three criteria: Party affiliation, stance on abortion/life, promise to lower taxes. That's it. That is what our representatives are responsible for in the eyes of the electorate. Quite a few voters spend more than thirty seconds making their choice but the truth is politicians lie. Our current President ran to the center and benefited from anger against our last President but clearly intends to govern from the the far left despite having no mandate from the voters to do so. Politicians like him and many others from both sides of the aisle only serve to polarize the voters in the long run. The most difficult thing for voters is getting rid of politicians who lie but unfortunately many politicians are so skilled at telling lies they get away with it repeatedly. *facepalm*
Far left? Are you deluded? What about about the recent healthcare bill is "far left"?
The bill is almost exactly what Republicans wanted back in '93. This would have been considered a Republican victory 15 years ago.
*YOU* represent what's wrong with America. There are too many stupid people who are so misinformed about real life and the world around them. They've been so spoiled by decades of America's world economic and military dominance they've never had to look beyond their own petty noses.
As they say, truth has a liberal bias. |

Actually, Sonic, I think the only thing wrong with America right now is that people can't have a reasonable discourse without resorting to personal attacks. The political process can't work with all the vitriol. We all need to chill and persuade others with our rhetoric, not demonize them. |
