Not long ago the almost nation of Palestine held an election. The United States heavily invested in this election, actively supporting and promoting leaders the US wanted to see. This was under Dubya's watch when Connie Rice was Secretary of State.
To the victor go the spoils. |
Lo, Anna hold a bee, the "wrong" people won the election. Fiercely anti-Israel and anti-US leaders pretty much swept the election.
Connie and Dubya were quite flabbergasted.
After all, here the US went demanding that people be given the right to decide. Democracy in other words. When the people decided, they did not vote the way the United States leadership wanted 'em to vote.
HOW DARE THEY MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS! is pretty much the attitude and opinion of the administration, and even the Damnocrats, in Washington at the time.
Every politician in Washington today. |
I now bring you to Wisconsin, land of cow farts, cheese, beer and some of my cousins who won't read this. Remember when the Wisconsin legislature was ground to a halt because the Damnocrats walked out on the Reboobicans? The Reboobicans, over Damnocrat objections, gutted the state's public employee collective bargaining rights.
Talk about making folks mad.
Recall petitions went up ALL over the place. Elections have been held.
Who won?

The peoples has spokened. The actions of the Legislature were upheld and union busting is a GO!
We may be morons, but ... well no, we're probably morons. |
You ain't gotta like it.
But unless you plan to substitute your will for the Will of the People (and I wonder if Will has even been consulted about this), then you must respect the decision.
The peoples has spokened.
If you reject this, do not respect it and so forth, then you are essentially saying you prefer an non-elected dictatorship to be in charge of everything.
More than one politician in this nation has gone into an election confident of being returned to office. Voters instead returned him to private life. I've covered elections where this has happened. I'll do it again I am sure.
When the people take control of government it is both an awesome and an awful thing.
When people take control of the government and have no idea what they are doing, we wind up with record deficits, a lowered credit rating, war in four countries (yes, 4) and a nation of people who won't be bothered to take the blame as long as they can take the services.
