and it rules with out the consent of the governed? On July 4th 1776 our founders said Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That, whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...[W]hen a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Valid then and valid now.

If, and I emphasize IF, you cannot vote the ruling party out of office at the next election, then you either suffer through the regime or stage a revolution. If you are talking about the United States, it seems to me that it has had a share of both Democrat and Republican administrations and Congresses, and there is no reason to suppose that the Constitution will fail before the next election.

Actually there is a great deal you can do. Stop whining and Run for office. get involved, walk the precincts. Tell the TRUTH with FACTS not inuendo.
so why can't you vote them out of office? Are you talking about a dictatorship that was brought into office by a military coup?
A Monarchy where the ruler inherited their power?
Obviously you can't be talking about the US because we are not ruled without the consent of the governed. As will be evidenced in the coming election.
Again, I say....GET Involved with your local party (not the beer bash down the street) and become informed with all the facts from all sides.
Then after you have learned the truth, i am sure you will see the Libertarian way is the most intelligent way. http://www.libertarian.org

What do you mean "we"? The only reason Bush got a second term is that people who opposed him didn't bother to vote. What everyone seems to ignore is that a candidate doesn't have to get the backing of a majority of the people, only a majority of the voters. The Religious wrong is a clear minority, but they have disproportionate influence due to their organization and willingness to support their candidates on Election Day. The conservatives will stay in power until the opposition comes up with a coherent alternative platform and their supporters get off the computers and out to the voting booths.

The vote of the people is consent, you lost the vote so get over it. If you wish you can start shooting but since you lost the vote you would be a criminal and would be shot down like the traitorous dog you are.
What are you paranoid idiots going to do when there is another republican president and a continuing republican majority in congress? Are we going to be forced to listen to more of your delusional rants? Get over it, you lost the vote, or get a gun and start your own little revolution, but considering the amount of whining you people do I doubt you have the nerve to start anything.

Don't even bother voting. Bush and other presidents are elected ONLY by THIS secret and evil group!...

Also, political parties are all merely an illusion. The above-mentioned group are the ones that are in control of everything for far too long!

Get a clue and figure out the majority does not agree with you. When you actually stand for something and stop spreading hate and evilness maybe then you liberals will win another election. Till then you can deal with what the majority wants and learn to accept it.

The 2008 RNC is in Minneapolis.
Minnesotans will look the other way no matter what we do to Republicans.
The picken's will be easy.
Disclaimer:
This statement is made tongue in cheek. Most Minnesotans do not condone or tolerate violence.
