You ******* liar.

He said it right there

TM, if a poll was done on these boards as to who the biggest liar is you would quite possibly win by a land slide. Liberal minded people run away from you here because you make them look bad, notice your lack of support on almost every thread you start? What, you get Rtard/Shaman and RW to back you sometimes?

 

[naturegirl]

this is why your party is dying

TM, both parties are dying because they are the same.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Why, because he calls us a Republic?

TM, in the end it does not matter what anyone calls the US. The constitution says we are a Republic, have you read the constitution, we all wonder.

Tossing out quotes is nice, but they don’t supersede the rule of law that is the constitution. In this case the constitution calls us a Republic.

Care to move past this yet, maybe focus on the OP? I have asked this maye 3 times now.

 

[Truthmatters]

and calling us a DEMOCRACY IS PERFECTLY TRUE

why doesnt it list the US as you state it?

Um... read what you actually post:

Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Types

Main article: List of republics

In the early 21st century, most states that are not monarchies label themselves as republics either in their official names or their constitutions. There are a few exceptions: the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Israel, the Russian Federation, and Hungary. However Israel, Russia, Hungary and Libya would meet many definitions of the term republic.

There is a variety of republics which differ on how the head of state is chosen and how much power they have.
Parliamentary republic — a republic, like India, Poland, with an elected head of state, but where the head of state and head of government are kept separate with the Head of government retaining most executive powers, or a head of state akin to a head of government, elected by a Parliament.
Federal republic — a federal union of states or provinces with a republican form of government. Examples include Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Germany, India, Russia, the United States,[note 1] and Switzerland.
Islamic Republic — Countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran are republics governed in accordance with Islamic law.
Socialist republic — Countries like China and Vietnam are meant to be governed for and by the people, but with no direct elections. The term People's Republic is used to differentiate themselves from the earlier republic of their countries before the people's revolution, like Republic of China and Republic of Korea.

I have to ask. Why are you so unwilling to better yourself?

why doesnt it list the US as you state it?

It does...

A distinct set of definitions for the word republic evolved in the United States. In common parlance a republic is a state that does not practice direct democracy but rather has a government indirectly controlled by the people. This understanding of the term was originally developed by James Madison, and notably employed in Federalist Paper No. 10. This meaning was widely adopted early in the history of the United States, including in Noah Webster's dictionary of 1828. It was a novel meaning to the term; representative democracy was not an idea mentioned by Machiavelli and did not exist in the classical republics.
