I wouldn't say that they should follow public opinion, but they should consider it. After all, we are fond of saying we are a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people". If that is the case, the people should be listened too.

laws of common decency huh Esfoma??
might as wwell start up the morale police huh?? maybe you would like living in Iran more??!
and i think public officials should always consider public opinion, especially at the local and state levels of governemnt.
it is a little harder to agree with it being done on the federal level, because our government hides so much from us, which isn't right at all!

Not when the laws of common decency are involved. No matter what women wanted re abortion for their own personal convenience, it is against the Creator's "Thou shalt not kill" to let an abortionist induce labor in a healthy baby birth and then sever the spinal bone at the neck just as soon as the head was delivered. And there were plenty of mothers who insisted their own convenience came first. The last election helped this situation.

George senior would have went straight to Bagdhad-if he would have followed public opinion-but he knew it would create a power vacuum-and we would have the cluster his son has brought upon us.

Clinton did. And left us with a never-ending military commitment in the Balkans, a stagnant economy and a terrorism problem.
