No, the elected majority only reflect the voting majority, not the majority of the people.

The checks and balances in the Constitution are not just between the branches of the government, but between majority and minority as well.

You are certainly right about that. It is disturbing that so few people vote and even fewer seem to be even remotely aware of the issues that have huge effects on their lives. Our form of democracy/capitalism can't survive without the informed participation of people.

What is it DB, about the color of the scrappy kid's skin that makes him more likely to win the fight? Feeling a little racist lately are we?
Ha! Good one! I was really just painting the picture and, as luck would have it, Mr. Obama is black; so it fit! LOL

I'm quite surprised you didn't take the Repbulican view on my statment: Per Mr. Romney I'm just so friggin green with envy that he's got all that money. I did call him a rich kid now didn't I? LOL

BentSailor will become famous soon enough
I thought the Republican view WAS to be green with envy that Romney has all that money? The other primary candidates complain about it often enough...
