8/6 Hey, so now that this recall mess is going on, where is Mr. "We Are
A Republic, NOT a Democracy"? You were ALWAYS on the motd before,
but you are suspiciously silent of late. Too busy filing your
candidacy papers?
\_ the soviet union was a republic. u.s.a is a democrisy..
\_ It's still a republic. Do you *really* need a 3rd grade level
lesson in the difference? Don't make me spank you.
\_ The U.S. is both a republic and a democracy, if you look at
the dictionary definitions. Then again, you could say some
Liberal changed the definition of democracy under our noses.
\_ No, it's a republic with strong democratic influence. Anyways,
in response to the poster above, the U.S. is a republic, that
does not state anything about California. How California
chooses to elect its governor (in a democratic method) does not
reflect upon our federal government. I would hope a Berkeley
undergrad would be able to decipher the difference. And what
exactly about the recall are you complaining about? The fact
that Gray Davis is trying to subvert the whole democratic ideals
of our nation?
\_ Please post the dictionary definition of democracy closest
to what we have in the U.S. Feel free to post republic too.
\_ The democratic ideals of a few rich conservatives that lost
a general election, but weren't appointed to the post like
El Presidente Bush so they subvert the will of the people
with this recall? |
