>>> Would you support a national referendum process like that in the states?

We already have one. (See below.)
<<<

You misunderstand. I mean should they people be able to vote on law directly, as they do in most of the states through the ballot initiative or referendum process. We do not have that at the national level.

>>> Politicians' words can be mingled and/or misunderstood.

But according to your crowd, you can tell when democrats are lying :-)

I think you have tried to slip away here. If you had a court trial, you would determine in fact whether a politician has perjured him/her self before the pepple on a matter of consequence. Then the politicians of all stripes would have to clean up their act, and many benefits would flow from this. e.g. we would know the true reasons why we were going into wars, we would know how are money was being spent (in reality), we would know what a candidates true positions, if any, were. We would know what their qualifications really were. We would not have to put up with one set of politicians telling lies about another set so as to win elections. The people that have fled and no longer vote, out of disgust, would return, and so elections would be more truly the voice of the people.

No more dirty tricks.
