Other than corrupt, how would you describe our government?

[screembloodymurder]

If we no longer have a "Democratic Republic", what do we have?

[Chimichurri]

1. A Corporatocracy.

[darkmaestro019]

17. Give this lady a free drink and some nachos.

You got it in one.

[Seansky]

2. inept n/t

[Lowell]

3. Dysfunctional n/t

[populistdriven]

4. Corporate Republic n/t

[leftofthedial]

5. a facade

[sweetheart]

6. criminal

we have a criminal gang holding us at gunpoint to their protection racket.

[slackmaster]

7. Bloated, self-perpetuating, run by egoistic, self-serving politicians

No longer acting in the interests of the people from whom its power is derived.

Serving as an elected official was not intended by the founders of this country to be seen as a profession. Public service used to be, and should be, a solemn duty performed for a short time, after which one returns to his or her usual occupation or retires.

[screembloodymurder]

11. Capitalistocracy seems to fit the bill.

Government by a privileged minority consisting of those with the most money.

[bperci108]

14. To quote an un-named radical from the early 20th century:

"Fascism is Capitalism in decay."


And it only took a little over 200 years.

:cry: <== (For the greatness that was American democracy, not for the capitalists that destroyed her.)




(Edit: clarity)

[screembloodymurder]

25. I like that.

So true.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. Kleptocracy

or a Kakistocracy

[htuttle]

9. Incompetent Imperialists -- a Bozocracy

We've had imperialist presidents before -- in fact most US presidents for the last 100 years (or more) have followed imperialist imperatives.

However, we've never had one that was such a fuck up, top to bottom. Every member of this administration is an incompetent Bozo.

[bperci108]

15. Bozocracy?

:rofl:

I'm stealing that!

How descriptively brilliant.

[sam sarrha]

10. Plutocratic Fascist Kleptocracy, or just totally F'd up.. will ever be the

same.. gone forever.

we will descend into an Argentine police state.. DU will be relegated to the praises of Fascism or you will be diss-appeared, or they will kill your brothers wife to make a point..

[hyphenate]

12. Arrogant

And I think right now, we're vascillating between a theocracy and a dictatorship. Very few other options.

[screembloodymurder]

26. I met a security guard who worked in the WH for 30+ years.

He told me this administration was the most arrogant he had ever worked under.

[hyphenate]

28. I agree wholeheartedly

It just goes to show that they know how to keep the truth from ever leaking out. Rove at his best spinning propaganda.

[bperci108]

13. A failed experiment soon to be joining Rome on the scrap heap of history.

...if things don't change for the better real soon.

I want my country back. :grr:

[savemefromdumbya]

16. secretive and incompetent

[intaglio]

18. Let me seeeeee

Venal
Self Regarding
Lying

Oh sorry you meant the US government not the UK

[Philosoraptor]

19. DANGEROUSLY EXPLOSIVE

[omega minimo]

20. The Bushco Adminstration is NOT The Government

[Hubert Flottz]

21. Petro Fascist!

The Petro-Fascist wing of the GOP, is running the country into the ground.

[bdamomma]

27. Yes, the Texas wing of the Republican Party.

[canichelouis]

22. The public sector version of

Enron, and this time, we are all shareholders

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. At best, a necessary evil. At worst, an intolerable one.
