““2: This is a republic, not a tyranny by the majority of people who bother to vote.”
Hmmmm. So all this talk from the republicans about an up or down vote isn’t true?
Is that what you’re saying?”
I think it’s meaning in context is immediately apparent to the casual observer given the bullet just before it. I don’t know why someone as smart as you continually tell us you are missed it.
What is means is capturing the vote of somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% of eligible voters does not give the winning party carte blanche rights to social engineering.
“Prop 8 in California? That too? It doesn’t matter what the majority votes for?”
Please. You call out your oppostion as morons and then toss out this apples to rocks comparison? Prop 8 was an initiative voted on by the public. You are talking about socialized medicine being shoved down the throats of a public that does not want it by politicians.
Care to speculate on the outcome were your trillion dollar social engineering project put to an up/down public vote like the Prop 8 vote?
