As an example - do you think that the American Public would vote yes to Salary for life for their elected representitives - doubt it highly but it exists
They have done many things that are against the popular opinion of the people
About 90% of the patriot act falls into this category.
And since we are talking about the popular will - Al Gore won the "popular vote"
I am really thankful that Gore was not the president to handle 9/11 - I don't think he has the balls for the job, but there is far too much being done to rob rights from American's under the guise of National Security
I don't like the fact that I can be jailed indefinately without proof, for being suspected of something (like independent thought)
1) Yes I do feel that Bush is stupid
2) I never said everyone was stupid - I said anyone voting the party line is stupid - or too lazy to think (which amounts to about the same thing)

the opposite side to that argument is that we did not vote for it and even though we would not... we dont feel its much of an issue - or we would be more upset about it as a whole than we are.
