Yes. A novel thought to you I'm sure is that someone would do their duty under the Constitution despite the fact it may not be popular. JLA

Um, I don't know how to break this to you... We don't live in a democracy.

<<I heard some republican congressman say the polls don't mean anything---...>> <<Funny how some individuals can delude themselves into thinking that the majority of public opinion means nothing. I always thought democracy was based on that premise.>> Ask any Democrat running for election/reelection in November and he/she will tell you that those opinion polls that are not targeted at voters are meaningless. They are all hearing from the people who vote, and what they're hearing is very different from the results in those silly media polls.

I heard some republican congressman say the polls don't mean anything---LOL Funny how some individuals can delude themselves into thinking that the majority of public opinion means nothing. I always thought democracy was based on that premise Why not do away with congress completely? Let's just appoint Gallup to take polls and decide on legislation. While we're at it we might as well skip all elections and disband the judiciary. Who needs em when you've got polls? sheeze...
