Imo, a representative republic is as close as you can get to a perfect system. The hope is that the non-idiots that vote outnumber the idiots that vote in sufficent quantities to elect representative that are less idiotic than the public as a whole. While you are still surrendering to the will of the majority, hopefully it is a better informed majority than "one man one vote" on every individual issue.

This is not possible in our political system, as money puts people in office. That's how Bush got there. You have 5 corporations that own 80% of the media and they see a huge profit in having Bush in office and convince the public thru the media.

So, even the non-idiots really don't have a choice, unless they are ultra-rich non-idiots, or can profit from the actions brought about by the ultra-rich thru the people they put in office.

With the CEO of Citicorp having endorsed Hillary, it's quite obvious who is going into the White House in 2009.

Where were all the "non-idiots" on election day in 2000 when Bush was installed into the White House? Why have the "non-idiots" (if they are so intelligent) allowed our political system to become so corrupt?
