Let The Voters Decide

-
George Bush II, Hillary Clinton, and virtually all of the other presidential candidates talk about how vital democracy is. And how important it is that the voters get to make the decision on who represents them. They get up on their arrogant high horses and lecture the people of Pakistan and Iraq.
-
What a bunch of hypocrites. Hearing all of them talk about the importance of free and fair elections reminds me of south Florida and the butterfly ballot.
-
Al Gore got the votes, not Bush II. And even when the voters do elect the person they voted for the lobbyists and the rich campaign contributors have a vastly larger say regarding how this country is run than the voters do.
-
In the American form of democracy the voters do actually have a little power. But that is all. Just a little. And to pretend otherwise is pure hypocrisy.
