A country with a president who did things based on the consensus of the public would be a messed up country because "regular" people like me--I don't know a bout you or whoever else--don't really realize the complexities of running a country and making every little detail work, even if it doesn't work nearly as well as you would have liked. The government makes the majority of its decisions without asking any of us, because we, as a whole, would probably end up making the wrong decision by basing it on our own opinion, and not that of 280,000,000 different people. I believe America's government is classified as a democratic republic, anyway.

Yes, the controversial election. I remember that one. In the end all that you listed did not matter because it was a US Supreme Court decision that brought about the end and decision. As for disenfrachised voters: find an election where people didn't claim that. A guy I work with claims he was disenfrachised when he didn't get to vote in the 2004 elections because he missed the registration deadline.speedy_samurai
In 2000, after the fact, many independent groups and media outlets recounted ballots and depending on how you counted determined who won. It depended on how strict you were as to who won. This inconsistency is why the Supreme Court stopped the count.
Here's the Wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_election,_2000
So I guess the 2004 election was manipulated as well?

Yes, but didn't Clarence Thomas' wife work for the Bush transition team, at the time? I wonder how he was able to cast his vote without feeling there was a conflict of interest there.

Remington, this is simply bunk.
The pentagon is a MILITITARY instillation. That everyone knows is there. Do you think for two seconds it's not designed to handle impact in a specific way? Just like the twin towers, they were DESIGNED to collapse straight down. Much like the pentagon is designed in specific setions. Look at the very picture you posted. It looks like a wall or section break of some point. Why couldn't a plane do that?

Just a side note... I find that anytime someone mentions Michael Moore the answer is always "he's been exposed for the liar he is" or something to that effect. Outside the US, or at least here in Spain, he's still seen as someone who is right and brave for acting against the so-called imperialist system.
Would anyone be so kind as to point me or link me to websites/articles which uncover his "lies"? And please don't include Michael-Moore-bashing websites, just fact-based ones if you're able.
Thanks

Michael Moore tends to use facts, but he often falsely links them together to form conclusions that shouldn't really be made. I thought Fahrenheit 9/11 was thought-provoking, but I remember saying "boy, that's a stretch" to a lot of the conclusions he reached.
However, I think that people too quickly dismiss anything he says as liberal bullcrap, because he brings up valid points now and again.

What I hate about Moore is how he tends to edit his films to make everything agree with what he is saying. He's pretty uncrediable with information and I don't take anyone seriously who thinks his movies are a good source of information. Also in his film Rodger and Me is made GM look like it was bringing Flint, Michigan down. Growing up not far from Flint I can tell everyone that the only reason Flint is still afloat is due to GM.
