He argued that we are a republic that would like to be a true democracy, but just aren't there yet. Look at the Wikipedia definitions and you'll probably see what I mean.<br />What you describe seems even closer to a true democracy than what I currently think we have here right now, messy though it might be.<br />Jimbocpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-91543354096740031492012-08-02T08:49:18.815-05:002012-08-02T08:49:18.815-05:00Keith,

But now I am thinking that it's just really very very messy. Not a pretty sight sometimes. I have little loyalty to any party that thinks more of themselves than they do the city, state or nation as a whole. Unfortunately, I don't seem to see a lot of that going on anymore.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-56586471224416086222012-08-02T00:07:55.340-05:002012-08-02T00:07:55.340-05:00Poking fun at politics is nice.

The four main parties are the Reds who find themselves to be social(ist), the Blacks who claim to be Christian democratic (whatever 'Christian' might have to do with politics, since there is separation of church and state), the Yellows are making up the liberals, and the Greens were once radical environmentalists.<br /><br />It makes it almost impossible for one party to win the majority, hence coalition is key and parties have to work together... so much more fun.<br /><br />What I always wanted to know... if the Democratic party stands for democracy, what are the Republicans? I hope, not the opposite?SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-48314777515494798992012-08-01T20:01:55.643-05:002012-08-01T20:01:55.643-05:00I'm afraid I'm just tired.

Been in the fray, worked hard, watched some things change for the better...and, watched some things turn out much different than I thought they would.<br /><br />Now, I wake up and some days wonder what country I'm in. Oh well, live does seem to go on.<br /><br />Like you, in the past I've voted for both Republicans and Democrats...but of late I seem to be voting a straight Democratic ticket. And now, I find I'm not particularly fond of anyone. No one seems to want to make things work, they just want their way.<br /><br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-77137907517082027492012-08-01T10:48:26.531-05:002012-08-01T10:48:26.531-05:00Conch,

I try and stay out of arguments publicly. Don't want to bite the hand that,.... well you know. <br /><br />What a wimp I am!<br />Growing up I never thought I'd stoop to that.<br />Guess I'll leave my real opinions at the voting booth.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-73878305045373639572012-08-01T10:01:02.100-05:002012-08-01T10:01:02.100-05:00Endorse who you like, it's your page!

Besides you live in Kansas so you know DNA is God's joke, just to let us think there is something random in our make up.<br />I predict the one per centers want Obama, so he will be elected, as it were, and in 2016 Rubio looks like he is being prepped.<br />There again I never figured the Bachman/Palin (who dat?) circus would be imploded so thoroughly. <br />God bless everyone, no exceptions.Conchscooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016331487463993200noreply@blogger.com
