Stupidity

I thought I had heard it all until I heard someone say that we should support our leaders in everything no matter what, because they were voted into office by a democratic process. This was almost as bad as President Nixon saying that no one should question him because he was the president.
Someone should explain to these people that being elected is not the same a getting the keys to the kingdom. Because you were elected, does not mean that you are above the law. We, the people, elected you to help the democratic process along, not to be king. We elected you to represent the people, not the rich and powerful or the big corporation.
Given enough money, anyone can be elected to any office. Look how long Mubarik bought the election in Egypt.

excellent opinions...if politicians did the job they were elected to do and ONLY that job, then we would have a much more efficient, moral system.
thanks for hearing.
