Vote
If your are concern about the policies of government and are properly informed then go vote. Stop bitching and spouting hatred. As a republic your voice is reflected in the representatives that we vote for.
Some observations:
1. Why is there always a movement to limit our voting rights by having term limits ? After all incumbents are elected by a majority of the voting public. If you don't like the candidate don't vote for them instead of making a parental law to limit the choices for you.
2. Why is it the opposition to this administration can not understand that Bush was elected by a majority of the American People. He was not elected by the plurality but majority, so, when you make complaints that they don't represent the majority, again, he was elected by the majority of the voting public.
3. I find that we are not progressing to an open society that can discuss the issues, but must vilify the messenger without listening to the message. Everyone has some valid and good points. We must come consensus and enacted the best laws possible.

Do you really, really want...I mean really, really, really want everyone who can vote to go cast a vote, no matter how ignorant, misinformed, or uninformed he or she may be?
Just think about that a minute or two.
No, not really. If that did occur I would be speaking arabic by now.
I know what you mean. I hope I find the clip that I'm looking for to demonstrate what you really mean.
In all honesty the founding fathers where geniuses. They understood the proper division of government to have a body represent the masses and a body filled with for lack of better term the intelligent, deliberating body. Thus, the government would be protected from the will and passion of the masses.
As in Aristotle's Politics the regime that was the greatest threat or least desired was the democratic regime. It was the only regime that could suppress the rights of the minority. However, the founding fathers devised an excellent Federal Republic with many spheres of influence the counter each other so no one can become a dictator.
