[quote name="Lizard_King"][quote name="I need clarification"][quote name="Lizard_King"]That's why the country ("America") is a republic, not a democracy. Specifically. To keep idiots ("you") and populist demagogues (those you follow) from having a disproportionate influence. [/quote] You mean, like when they get the <A HREF = "http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm">majority</A> of the vote?[/quote] Exactly, numbnuts. Because the absolute majority should not hold sway, else presidential candidates would need only pander to NY, Texas and CA. In fact, it's a damned shame that whole "direct election of senators" thing happened. That's the whole point of a republican vs a democratic system. Remember intro to poli sci?
