  1. Oh, you have a way to remove him. Not the best name selection when you think about it.

  2. The US is not a democracy. And it never has as been. It's a representative republic. Once you get over a certain size population a full on democracy simply does not work. Sometimes in the interests of the nation a member of Congress or a sitting president has to do things that are opposite of what they expouse. A full on democracy by and large is going to focus on the immediate issue right now and never consider the future IMO.

  3. To be honest no elected representative can do what they "promise". Not all by themselves. Far too many people simply get their ballot and either check for a full slate or just check off for the party they favor. I swear in some solid districts or states Hitler could be on the ballot and win as long as he was running in the solid parties slate. I refuse to vote the way I did when I was younger. I much prefer to vote for the better candidate no matter what party they belong to. I also prefer to have decided government. If one party holds say the White House and the House I really want the Senate held by the other party. This helps keep the extreme fringe under control. Also I think in the US we need a new major political party. One that can draw from the moderate portions of both parties. Let the nutjobs in both the Democrat and the Republican parties stew in their own juices.
