Why don't we stick with Samuel Johnson's 1755 Edition:
Demócracy. n.s. [δημοκρατία.] One of the three forms of government; that in which the sovereign power is neither lodged in one man, nor in the nobles, but in the collective body of the people.
While many of the servants, by industry and virtue, arrive at riches and esteem, then the nature of the government inclines to a democracy. Temple.
The majority having the whole power of the community, may employ all that power in making laws, and executing those laws; and there the form of the government is a perfect democracy. Locke.
They aren’t attacks against Cain...they are however an observation and I am hardly alone on that as we see from various sources, including Cain himself. So your comment carries no water this time around.
I agree, the media is doing all it can to promote Romney. Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
