Republicans leave a skid marks on Democracy, Lukovich cartoon

Republican stain democracy

Have you noticed how rarely you hear a Republican refer to “democracy”. In fact the word “republican” means representative government rather than a democratic government. Even The Constitution shuns democracy in the organization of the Senate.

Putting the basis of this political cartoon – Republican voter suppression – aside, please understand that the Tea Party leaders in the Senate, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul (the Moe of the three stooges) are not even happy even the present non democratic form of the Senate. They have signed on to repeal the 17th Amendment that gives THE PEOPLE of the respective states the right to vote for their Senators. These crapstains who scream and carry on about The Constitution want to usurp it so Republican held state legislatures choose US Senators rather than the people in those states.

The horror is that about a third of Americans agree with them. That is how intense the gun waving anger and visceral hatred directed at President Obama has become. For the most part due to the 24/7 poison of Fox News and Talk Radio.

BTW, the mainstream media is not allowed to tell you why the President is hated so much. So I will defer to that rule being so mainstream and all…
