Actually, 1. We are not a rule by the mob democracy, 2. Three states voted by ballot initiative in three states lastNovember. But hey, the sheeple should rule in place of a representative Republic. /sarc
If you support ballot initiatives and the will of the majority, you are a populist, not a conservative. These things were meant to be decided by the legislature, as is supposed to occur in a Republic.
Prop 8 was several years ago. BTW: Doesn’t Cali let the legislature do anything like it should?
And if you support anything done by the California state legislature, you are not a conservative. There is no more corrupt group of individuals in California. I personally knew two different heads of the state legislature, and both were absolutely corrupt. I worked with one after he got booted out of the position, and he was oblivious to what the people wanted, prefering to line his own pocket. He later ended up in prison for a while. After getting out, he was more humble and down to earth. Ballot initiatives are a way for people to make their voice heard, when otherwise no one is listening.
The sheeple vote in the politicians they deserve. Whining signifies a failure to acknowledge this.
You deserve Obama? Are you whining about it? Sheesh, some people...
