Democracy is not a public opinion poll

"...by the people" is the LAW. But this administration thinks the will of the American people is just an optional commentary. In the words of the Vice President, the will of the American people is just a breeze that would interfere with the course, the will, of him and his puppet.

Quoted at thinkprogress.org:

This morning, on the fifth anniversary of the Iraq invasion, ABC’s Good Morning America aired an interview with Vice President Cheney on the war. During the segment, Cheney flatly told White House correspondent Martha Raddatz that he doesn’t care about the American public’s views on the war:

CHENEY: On the security front, I think there’s a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That’s been a major success.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.

See and hear it here.

And get rid of these warmongers, McCain included!
