If we no longer have a "Democratic Republic", what do we have?

7. Bloated, self-perpetuating, run by egoistic, self-serving politicians |
|
No longer acting in the interests of the people from whom its power is derived.
Serving as an elected official was not intended by the founders of this country to be seen as a profession. Public service used to be, and should be, a solemn duty performed for a short time, after which one returns to his or her usual occupation or retires.

11. Capitalistocracy seems to fit the bill. |
|
Government by a privileged minority consisting of those with the most money.

"Fascism is Capitalism in decay."
And it only took a little over 200 years.
:cry: <== (For the greatness that was American democracy, not for the capitalists that destroyed her.)

9. Incompetent Imperialists -- a Bozocracy |
|
We've had imperialist presidents before -- in fact most US presidents for the last 100 years (or more) have followed imperialist imperatives.
However, we've never had one that was such a fuck up, top to bottom. Every member of this administration is an incompetent Bozo.

It just goes to show that they know how to keep the truth from ever leaking out. Rove at his best spinning propaganda.
