Gibbs Ducks Crucial Question On Sestak, Romanoff Job Offers

"Democracy allows for all voices to be heard, and not a winner - party - take all initiative"

======================================



What you are describing, what it is that you think the US is, is a direct (or representative, or proportional) democracy. But the US is NOT a direct democracy; it's a democratic republic. We the People have the right to express our preferences in how our government is run, who we would like to make the decisions for us and the laws we have to obey. But those preferences don't have to be followed or even considered, and that's where courts have left this, as a "political question" or issue.



You may believe that "Democracy allows for all voices to be heard", but that's not the law, and it's also not what Obama believes or practices.



"Democracy allows for all voices to be EXPRESSED". You have a right to speak, but I have a right not to listen. And this president has not allowed all voices to be heard & part of the debate on the issues before us.
