But is he not right about demagoguery and mob rule and the erasure of republicanism as the Founders conceived it in favor of pure democracy that inevitably moves toward dictatorship?

Coming after his non-stop trashing of Sarah Palin, who adheres rigorously to her state Constitution even when it runs counter to her personal views, I find his Constitutional ethics quite situational and come into play only when his priggish sensitivities are offended. Otherwise, he'd probably be quite happy to have a monarchy here.

He’s had how much time during this election to discuss “demagoguery and mob rule and the erasure of republicanism as the Founders conceived it in favor of pure democracy that inevitably moves toward dictatorship?”???????????

He doesn’t realize his contribution to what he’s complaining about- that’s a true elite!
