I honestly think that Iran will be the first to be consumed by Bush. I'm not sure if we could handle North Korea right now.
Eventually, the Middle East will be part of America. Israel already is

I thought Kerry was against gay marriage but supports civil unions?
What?

The poster was correct. The US is a representative Republic, not a true democracy.
"And to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation..."

I agree completely with Skadi, the gay marriage issue turned out to be the real poll mover (such a shame). We are so screwed

I realize that..just that your reply of "What?" indicated that you may not have realized that we are a Republic...just wanted to clear it up is all.
I'd imagine that if asked directly, "Is the US a Republic, or a Democracy?", 9 out of 10 Americans would say "Democracy", but technically, they'd be incorrect.

You act surprised by this... Yes we are a Republic and not a Democracy. This has been discussed a bigillion times already. Republic, republic, republic.
edit: sorry, late addition... I'm getting some serious nasty lag on my end.

It is msot disturbing to me, that above the other more pr4essing issues, record number of voters turned out to vote against gay marriage.
I know of people, who agreed with Kerry on most Everything, but voted for Bush because of gay marriage.
Thats what drew so many half wit Christian fundimentalists out of the rocks and caves to vote, otherwise, they would have stayed at home.

Well you can post it one million times, I will still claim that US is based on a political theory called democracy.
Yes, the country is a Republic but still a democratic country
