Somethings I find worthy of my time and effort.
other things I could give a rip about.
I like politics, some interesting shit gets talked about,passions get aroused and some people go stupid trying to defend the indefenseable.

The problem isn't who gave what to whom, it's the legality of all this money going in to campaigns (directly or through the super pacs).

We're fucked until we take all 3 of those out of the equation and elect people who are actually independent thinkers and are unbeholden to special interest groups and hostage to their party base.
Amen.
Anyone else think that eliminating the Electoral Collage and specifically legislating that corporations are NOT people under the law would be a good place to start?
That Corporate Personhood definition is pretty scary. The Electoral College is part of that messy thing called Democracy, otherwise us Vermonters would be dictating shit to you Californians 
Our insistence on sticking to the Original Fathers interpretation of the Constitution is important. It's the one document that defines free will, free speech, free democracy, rule of law. It's why the only dictator to actually get elected (bush) failed miserably.
Which is why we are a Republic and not a democracy.
One state cannot dictate to another.
Try to keep up.
We're a Democracy.

I pledge allegiance to this flag and to the "Democracy" or the "Republic" , for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

I don't teach junior golfers.
I do however make sure they don't get a fucking cart to ride in, carry my clubs and I might let you play the back nine where no one can see you make an ass out of yourself.
I'm just nice like that seeing as how I'm a legend because of my nice demeanor and friendly approach.

Our Government operates as a democracy(even though it's not supposed to), we however are a Republic and nothing else.
We are supposed to have a Representative Government with the people having the power and the Government being subject to us.
it's been a long time since that was true.

Correct. Which is why the US is referred to as a Democratic Republic.

I knew you would do that, and that's why I waited a few seconds before doing the post the way it's supposed to be.
I guess you will have home work again, looking up the difference between a democracy and a Representative Republic.

You're trying to argue a point that was settled many years ago, Just because you never got over it doesn't change anything.

I know the difference, Dick. A representative democracy is a kind of republic. A republic has an elected government; representative democracies are therefore a kind of republic.
The US is commonly referred to as a Democratic Republic.
