Obama Demeans His Own Supporters

Monday, September 20, 2010


Those people represent constituents who are more politically moderate, probably bordering on conservative. I don't like their views any more than you do, but they deserve to be represented by the person they put into office. That's democracy. It's not black or white. This country is centrist, and that's how we're being governed.
=====================================

To begin with, the country is not centrist.  That's one of the biggest  misperceptions bandied about cable political talk shows.  But that's irrelevant to the issue at hand so I won't waste time now addressing it, other than not letting it pass unchallenged.

Whether you like or don't like how your elected representative votes, you're getting the only representation you "deserve" or are guaranteed under the law.  You have no Constitutional right to have your views represented by whomever represents you in any public office in the US.  You have a Constitutional right to vote, but you have no Constitutional right to have that vote counted.

The founders apparently appreciated irony.
