J. Chris Parson DEBUNKED This country isn't a Mobocracy. Mobocracy: 1. Political control by a mob. 2. The mass of common people as the source of political control run by polls and mob rule. A republic is a government of law under a Constitution. The Constitution holds the government in check and prevents the majority (acting through their government) from violating the rights of the individual. Under this system of government a lynch mob is illegal. The suspected criminal cannot be denied his right to a fair trial even if a majority of the citizenry demands otherwise =========================================================== Pick a poll dummy! pollingreport.com How about a Fox news Poll? PRESIDENT BUSH – Overall Job Rating FOX/Opinion Dynamics RV 10/11-12/05 Approve = 40% Disapprove = 51% How about a Wall Street Journal Poll? NBC/Wall Street Journal 10/8-10/05 Approve = 39% Disapprove = 54% ..and those are the right-wing sources!
