It's not a valid reason at all.

Ad Hominem....

Correct, but a dictatorship can not be voted out

Dictatorships have also been voted out before as well....

thus another way showing how GWB is not absolute.

But its becoming absolute with more and more democrats losing their spines. Thus the reason why I said its BECOMING a dictatorship.

If it someone who makes a rediculous thread like you have, you deserve what you get.

Ridiculous is an OPINION. Monkspider apparently likes it. Therefore because it is an opinion, it means you are AGAINST the thread. If you are AGAINST it, that means that you DISAGREE with me. If you DISAGREE with me and you are saying I deserve this, then esentially the following is true:

If I post a thread you are against, you support the use of fallacious statements to kill it.

I logged on because I couldn't fall asleep, it's 4:40 AM so I am going to try to crash again....... Ming if you feel like wasting even more time trying to talk sense to this bozo have fun..........

Personal attack, but thats just one of your ever-growing list of debate fallacies. I sense you don't really know how to debate....

But anyway, because its late I suppose it's excusable (considering you are not thinking clearly). See you tomorrow

It is nowhere near a dictatorship. It might have certain twinges of an authoritarian government, but they can be removed at the next election, which sort of removes the whole dictatorship thing from the equation.

You honestly think that Americans will let their rights to vote taken away from them? When that happens there will be a civil war...

[GeneralTacticus]

The Iraqis haven't lost their right to vote either.

Voting has become so meaningless in the states that most people now don't use their right to vote.

Much more interesting and important issue than this dictatorship thing.

If there was only one party but the citizens can vote for representatives within that party is that a dictatorship? (Presuming the Democrats just curled up and died or something).

I'd say it is possible for the US to become a dictatorship - like it is anywhere. I just think one of the main problems is the way the President is treated - all his answers are always prepared for him. We make our Prime Ministers go on live debates with the public until they go grey from stress

[MikeH]

And live debates with the opposition politicians every week!

Corporate interest are ultimately the controling share-holders in both American parties anyway, its abit like the egg-cup game really, except they always pick the one with the bean underneath.

UK is much better than US... even though Tony is a new Maggie... Maggie, Major, Tony.... , still something must be wrong

UK has at least three parties + 1 nationalist and some other meaningless mess .

Well, assuming that whoever was in charge of said ruling party pciked all the candidates, yes. Voting is irrelevant when who you vote for makes no difference.

except for when they edit the electorate.
