Its like any business, the military, ANy organization..... There is a chain of command that issues orders. The grunts follow those orders. That’s the way its always been and it works. I see no need to change it now. What? Got a problem with teamwork? Never played sports on a team? or were you the one they never picked because you threw and ran like a GURL? Akin is guilty of insubordination as well as general stupidity.

You, EP, have a disturbed sense of how a representative form of government works. Skipped history class much? The representatives owe their fealty to the electorate, *not* to any self-proclaimed lords. The very fact that some in the GOPe behave as if their commands usurp our representatives' responsibility to us is offensive. You may want a chain of command where the RNC or DNC snap their fingers and all elected officials hike to attention, but we don't. Our Founders fought a Revolutionary War to get out from under a thumb like that. Sell your commie crap somewhere else.

What can I say?

Maybe I’m a Royalist at heart.

(.......hey....back in Germany there IS a title there in my family tree.)

Please, that hierarchy is the MODEL for any successful oprganization.

BTW, even George Washington didn’t put up with the “electorate” in Western PA that didn’t wanna pay their liquor taxes. Madison held evangelicals in contempt, and Sam Adams wanted all dissenters jailed.
