Description:

The US Constitution has some serious flaws and critical parts of it have simply been ignored. Overall, it's close to being a dead letter.

enlightning, I honestly do not know that much about the u.s. constitution, but i will have to try and find, someone who takes the opposed view to you, just so i can be fair and allow both sides to be heard (you know what i mean someone who believevs that the current state of the u.s. is sublime and believe all the retoric put forth from the two major parties) cheers

That would be the blank page that the Bushies and follow-ups write whatever they want on. OH...too late. :-) I'm still trying to work how a President who derives his power from the Constitution can step outsdie it and give orders that would not be legal under the Constitution that gives him the power to give those orders. Guantanamo, for example. Illegal under the Constitution. Bush ordered it.....with powers he got from the Constitution. An lawyer making THAT case is an enemy of the law.

The 70% figure you mention may be the proportion of incumbents who win by more than 20% of the vote....

That 98% win rate is why the US runs counter to the usual wisdom that democracies don't start wars. But the US has started quite a few wars in recent years...so rater than disproving the rule, the lack of effective accountability may have rendered the United States functionally not democratic in its operation.

linuxluver, I do not intend to place a comment where it is not appropriate, but this is the first video I've seen of yours, and it's great. You are very intelligent, and therefore, I ask you to view my video "My Letter to America." In fact, all Americans should watch it.

It's the partisan template that people who wish to assert their views on others use to ignore a real debate avoid the need to support their argument with facts. If you do not have a strong stance, you simply ignore the other person and apply a label to their comments.

I've lived all over. The stats are there: Since 1954, the win rate for House incumbents has been over 90%. The only exception is 1964 (88%). The rate has been rising as computing power allowed the two parties to define and refine their gerrymanders down to household levels of detail, using party registrations and poll data. Check out the redistricting section of dubya x 3 dot fairvote dot org.

I'm satisfied that war is not good. It's the CG thing that has decided to attempt apply a partisan template where it simply isn't appropriate. He's left to argue that war is good....and he can't win that one.
