When did this great Republic turn into a democracy???

Are you saying that the US isn't a democracy?

Its a Republic. We elect all sorts of critters to various
levels of Gummint. Whether it is a Democracy ( upper case D )
in the strictest sense of the word is up to you to decide.
It is certainly far more of a democracy (lower case d) than
any of the so-called "Democratic or People's Republics" with
which this world is infested.

This is very rum.

I ask a simple question and I get three different answers.

Q: Who had the greater number of votes [popular vote by context] cast
in their favour, Bush or Gore?

A1: Bush
A2: It doesn't matter
A3: No one knows


Actually, context implies electoral votes simply because the national
popular vote is meaningless.



I suspect the answer is Gore and you are all wrong.


The best answer regarding the national popular vote then is "unknown". The
difference was within the margin of error. There were a number of overseas
absentee ballots thrown out, those traditionally favor the Republican
candidate. There were instances of multiple voting and other fraudulent
voting that traditionally favor the Democratic candidate. It's likely more
valid votes were actually cast for Bush than for Gore.



My information is that Al Gore won 50,999,897 votes and George Bush
won 50,456,002 votes.


But Bush won more states and more counties than Gore.

The public vote.


If by "public vote" you're referring to the national popular vote total,
it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the election of the president.

It's a republic on paper, a democracy in fact.

Bush. He had 271 votes, and Gore had 266:

Out of 250,000,000 or so voters? You are changing the question again.

No, he's denying your antecedents.
that's how you deal with nonsensical questions if you find simply
stating "Mu" to be intellectally unsatisfying.
And by the way, the total population of the US is something like
270 Million IIRC. Means there's probably something like 100+
Million voters.

If you'd ask us your real question I'm sure we could answer it
but don't try to restrict the answers to inappropriate values.

You'll find trying to lawyer makes you really unpopular.

No, those who do not follow the law do not have views I believe in.

So you are saying that four of the Supreme Court Judges do not follow
the law?

OK, now here's a question with a short simple answer.

Yes!

Thats exactly what we are saying.

To think that these poor *******s still hang on to this just goes to show
you how vacant they have become on ideas that will help this country. I find
it most comical.

Which poor *******(s) are you talking about?

A little judicious editing of previous posts would sure help the
presentation of whatever idea it is you were trying to present.

When it come to vacancy neither major party has the advantage. How to
spend the money and get more of it is the main activity in Washington DC.

Democracy means essentially majority wins. This means 50% of the votes plus 1
is all that is required to pass a bill or elect a president. If that is the
case not one person won the 2000 election since no one got 50% plus 1 or
better.
