Original Poster said: Nixon's transgressions look like a Sunday picnic compared to clown Clinton's. At least he did the honorable thing...he resigned. But then, whoever said Clinton was honorable? Replier responded: No Clinton fan I, but this is just rhetorical silliness. Nixon's so-called "transgressions" were a systematic attempt to subvert the civil liberties of his opponents and reversing portions of the constitution. Nearly every administration since then has had its share of boneheads, losers, and felons, but none of them acted with the specific intent of dismantling the basic principles of American democracy. I say: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I have been reading this thread apparently written by people who have no idea why the founding fathers established the electoral college (and probably never did...and probably have no idea why the founders did anything) with the steeled will not to enter the fray, but now someone wants to stop the dismantling of the "American democracy?" IS OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM REALLY THIS BAD? THERE IS NO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IN THIS COUNTRY!! Please read Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constituiton and the pages referenced in the Federalist Papers index under "democracy" particularly those pages which "distinguish" a democracy from the American government, and thoses stating the "troubles of" a democracy. Anyone with a second grade education can learn in five minutes that the founders abhored democracies as the evil form of government it is. Lets see, Democracy...if 50.1 percent of the people vote that African- Americans can't live in the US we can have the military deport them. 50.1% can outlaw gays, 50.1% can outlaw condoms, 50.1% can outlaw a woman's right to vote, 50.1 can outlaw anything. Now there's a system to be fighting for, huh? To the extent that a democracy has overthrown our government it deserves to be "dismantled." Rob
