With today's technologies why can't we get rid of the heavily influenced, overpaid, and lazy congress. Why don't we just allow the people to truly vote via either the internet/phone/or T.V. system all computer controlled and able to have the results posted almost immediatly. This would prevent some of the blunders we have ran into now. Plus it would prevent congress from being influenced by money or power. Then maybe we can show the president who is really in control!

That would require the entire constitution and government to be changed, I don't think people would support that.

Well ... I don't trust either way. People who just vote over email, internet, T.V. haven't necessarily researched the issues they are voting about. We're all so easily manipulatable by rhetoric. (Politicians hire people to research just the right words to use to get the public to react in particular ways.) So we need a congress that is serious about democracy, and everyday people who work hard to know everything they can about issues.

Because then we'd live in more of a Dictatorship than we're already in. Hell, I don't want Bush calling all the shots. I don't even like him calling the ones he's calling now.
Rule for 2008 voting, people; DON'T ELECT A DUMBASS!!!

While there are many things wrong with the current system, I'm not a great fan of mob rule.
