>Any politician who does not pay attention to what his voters are saying won't last long. Esp. in the House, where elections are frequent. It's called democracy.<
And what were the voters saying a month ago, when over 400 U.S. Congressmen and women voted for Impeachment Proceedings? How do you explain why they voted the way they did, when actually even at the time, polls showed 60% wanted the whole thing to go away?
There are only a few possible answers:
a) Those elected Representatives voted what they believed to be right, or
b) Those elected Representatives misread their constituents, or
c) They read their constituents correctly, but were caught up in their own power-play against Clinton, or
d) The constituents had a significant change of heart in the space of one month, a month when the Representatives were at home in their districts campaigning.
I think it was part of a), b) and part of c)
>As for how the RR is "taking it". Hahahahaha.<
That doesn't explain or is even remotely related to why those 400 Representatives voted the way they did. And no, we don't have a democracy. "We have given you, madam, a Representative Republic"---Benjamin Franklin, to a woman who asked, on the sidewalk outside Constitution Hall. |
