Reply #26: the GOP wanted "majority rule" (demos), Dems wanted a republic's checks [View All]

that is what made the the situation so Orwellian.

the names of the parties referred to the opposite of the forms of government each side was propounding to legitimize their political opinions on this debate.

what this shows is the corruption of the recent structure of popular debate. regardless of the legitimacy of an argument, it is given equal status with its antithesis, regardless of its level of conforming to the facts or logical consistency.

republicans are calling for more democracy, as in majority rules in this case of steamrolling judges, but fails to offer any consistency for such a broad interpretation of democracy when it comes to other items that hinder the basic economic interests of the GOP.

this blatant attempt to corrupt the popular discussion with deceitful posturing runs against the alleged value system the GOP uses as a basis for its ethical and moral foundation.

i would submit that it is more effective to battle the GOP by delineating the inconstancies it shows and the infidelity it shows to the principles upon which it stands.

one thing as to Mr Bush's "ownership" society: I'm all for it, because he is right that the more folks with chips in the game, the more interested they will be in the game. now let us go about making every single American citizen an owner by splitting up all the wealth of the country equally so we are all in this game equally together.

i assumed that's what Bush meant by an ownership society, and if it is not, what does he mean, a place where 1% own 50% and 20% own 1%?

that sounds to me less like an ownership society and more like society of serfs.
