You guy's don't have to worry about the republic continuing. You voted yourself out of a democracy and into a monarchy....

Really, so the end process of a democratic election is the loss of democracy. Now I will admit that I am not fond of democracy, but it seems to someone like me that when the majority of the people, through a process intended to discover the majority opinion, choose either one side or the other that democratic process has run as intended. Correct me if I am wrong but I somehow suspect you would not call it the end of democracy if perhaps the other side had won. As for your comment that they chose a Monarchy, are you perhaps referring to the re-elected president being the son of a former president. In this case I must point out that by this definition as soon as the 2nd Adams president was elected the US was a monarchy. Then again I am not priveleged to be a citizen of the so called "Greatest Democracy" in the world so what do I know . If you want to start a discussion pointing out the flaws of Democracy you may well be surprised to find me agreeing with you, however I disagree with your original statement.

Edit: oh look, the thread tripped and is going downhill
