They should vote the will of the people they work for - US - whether they agree or not. Don't always work that way, but it should. I don't think I agree with that. Yes, representatives work for us, and not the party, but, in theory, they also provide leadership and expertise. Our representatives are privy to much information that we are not. They are expected to make decisions in our best interests, not necessarily mirroring our decisions. Nonsense, utter nonsense. America is a _representative_ democracy, not a kingdom. Constitutional republic. Well, "democratic republic," which is the same thing as a "representative democracy." "Constitutional" applies to either name you want to use. Dan |
