Obama's speech was very beautiful and empowering. My tears welled up. This will go down in history.

Let me ask you a question, Do you remember an election where a candidate won even tho he didn't get majority of people voting for him?

Do you ever wonder why that happens?

It is a representative democracy, if you don't like it, rewrite the constitution. And really, I still fail to see your point, that DIDN'T happen here.

I'm so pissed at crowd for booed McCain's speech. I think his speech was pretty respect for Obama... he derseve some respect from the crowd. Sighs. *shakes head*

I'm kinda of not really happy and happy at the same that Obama... but I'm so happy it's over... at the least! Phew.

But I really like Obama's speech, a such touchy one. I agreed with Lucia. :cheers: :)

Who says I dont like it? I voted for Obama! I wanted him to win and I'm glad he did.

My point is this country is not truely a democracy, it is a republic which is a form of democracy!

I don't want to reword the contitution cause for a man made article, it has worked great!

That is why I added the Pledge of Allegiance. It don't matter what you want to believe. The truth is our government is a Republic which is a form of Democracy.

I agree. Besides, I don't feel like debating tonight. I'd rather celebrate Obama's victory.

One thing you seem to be forgetting is that the dominant trend over the last 2 centuries has been to make America into a Democracy.

Hear Again, I do 'hear' you that we are a democracy-practicing country, however. Guess that we could all leave 'Republic' alone till someone proves it otherwise.
