Which of these would you most like to see happen?

I've posted other polls where the choices seemed clear to me but the voting turned out quite surprisingly.

Also it might be enlightening to hear why you picked the choice that you did.

Thanks and have fun.

I don't want Ron Paul to become president if he's going to get rid of freedom and prosperity like the poll says!

I like freedom.

Freedom and prosperity are part of the first choice. The second choice would get rid of them.

Thank you for expressing your opinion.

Huh?.........

I was under the impression that we already have a semi-dictatorship. We just call it The Presidency.

No, it's called an oligarchy!

You are sooooo right! I looked it up. Do you think that a democratic republic would ever be able to replace an oligarchy?
