Yes - I Have Lost My Voice In My Government
No - I Approve In General Of My Government´s Latest Democratic Actions
Neither- I Am Too Paranoid To Answer That Question
Blank -
Remember PNAC and AIPAC actions are swaying government to their side. Is this Administration working to benefit Israel, or the American people?
Do you think the creation of the North American Union by Bush behind your back is what a Democracy would do?
Do you believe that an increase in troops is what the American people had in mind in the last election?

The will of the people is reflected in who they elect.
People don't elect politicians to follow opinion polls, they elect people to represent them as best they can, and make the hard decisions, if they believe them to be right.
Not sure why you have a hard-on against Israel. Other lobbies have just as much sway, or even more.
NAU is just a fable by fevered and paranoid minds.
Not sure what the people had in mind, but since you don't seem to be aware of it, Bush is still president, and is still commander in chief and is still running this war.

The American people elected George Bush to do what he would for four years as long as he did not violate the law, and as far as we know he has not done so. We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic, our constitution, if you would read and understand it, has many protections against the popular whims in a society, sometimes Democracy can be dangerous, Republics protect that, the will of the people elects our leaders, by all measure we should elect wise leaders to govern us, too often this is not true, but nonetheless we usually elect men more educated, and better suited than the average voter to doing the jobs that we select them to do.

The Republicans screwed up and did not fix the election enough this last time. As a result the Democrats have one last chance to get it right.
Since the Republicans have gerrymandered my state, neither Republican nor Democrat can be affected by my vote. There are 5 Congressional districts running through my zip code, as a result one Democrat represents an entirely Black district and wins by 95% and all the other districts go Republican by 55%-60%. Even though as a whole all the districts vote 55% Democrat, there are 4 Republicans and 1 Democrat in even this congress..
And that is even before what is probable massive vote fraud, favoring Republicans, as well.

Yes, when congressmen are bribing each other with earmarks, things are being slipped into bill that have nothing to do with the original bill, and congressmen don't even read half the bill they vote on, yes, yes we have lost representation.

Yes! I do thoroughly believe that the public voice in our government is definately a thing of the past.
