The Obamanations are not interested in democracy as shown by what is
happening in Wisconsin. When the other side wins the election, they
engage in an illegal walkout to prevent legislation. Remember "Card
Check" where they tried to deny people the right to vote on
unionization? They have no interest in Democracy, they are interested
in raw power.
Winning the election was not good enough because they do not recognize
who won. When that happens, the next step is..................
In a sense, I agree....
.... they voted them in... let them have their way. That is the very
essence of a representative democracy.
Lesson: Be Careful what you ask for.....
A representative democracy includes compromise. The right-wing nuts
currently in charge of the House are not interested in compromise.
Jessie DE Plume, you certainly are making a fool of yourself tonight.
