Wayne,

Your ability to twist logic on its head is quite amusing.

Re: Now the only check and balance on rule by the minority is at the voting booth.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the concept of checks & balances that is the genius of the U.S. Constitution.

What you are proposing is nothing short of mob rule. Majoritarianism which disrespects minorities is the cause of vast amounts of human grief. Witness the catastrophic effects on comity of India's BJP Party cram-dowm majoritarianism attempting to crush minorities who don't follow the Hindu religion.

In any country where the rights of minorities are not respected, we have a failure of democracy. Like here in the U.S. for instance.

Here in the U.S., we have a remarkably similar situation to India (or even some Muslim countries) where religious extremists and trogolodyte fundamentalists have offered, through the office of George Bush, to install some detestable candidates for the court. And you lap up this reversion to superstition, religious claptrap and feudalism. It's a really attractive package you support.

OTOH, rule by the minority is what Bush is all about. Why don't you rail against his egregious betrayal of the public while he fawns over his elite corporate friends? It is Bush who hopes to create a new feudalism in America. What could be more indicative of a cynical effort to foist minority rule on this formerly great, equalitarian and middle class nation?

Bush wants desperately to create a tiny and elite aristocracy with a huge resentful underclass. It's plain enough from his policy maneuvers, most of which have to be carried out surreptitiously because they are so odious.

So, Democrats are an intimidating minority? You must be smoking some excellent stuff to come up with that BIG LIE.

Your propaganda is way too transparent. But just as foul as that which Bush models his own after. The master works of the master race in Germany, 1935. Lying for a living. George Bush must be proud.
