The United States is the most wonderful nation. The elected officials try to do what a majority want done. Yes the Democrats start from the left and try to get enough moderate support to get a majority and the Republicans start from the right and try to get enough moderate support to get a majority. But our system is majority rule.

If you study politicians and politics long enough you will find that elected officials try to do what a majority of the public wants done. They will play a lot of politics in trying to get majority support, but at the end of the day the will of the people prevails.

Often times some of us disagree with the majority and we long for elected officials that will do our will. But that never happens.

The Democratic party base was very opposed to both Roberts and Alito. They wanted to defeat them on what they said was their anti-abortion stance. But a Majority of the American people do not want unlimited abortion. They want very limited abortion or no abortion.

Karl Rove knew that anti abortion Democrats would give George Bush Ohio in 2004. That is exactly what happened. It took the Democrats a while to figure that out. That is not the case in New York and other very liberal states. So their senators chose to fight Alito and fight for abortion.

19 Democrats voted for cloture on the Alito filibuster. Why? They could not afford to lose the home state support of some Democrats and most Moderates who are opposed to abortion. So they voted cloture. They voted the will of the people, and not the will of their party leaders, and not their own beliefs.

It is the way it works. I used a Democrat example but the same is true of Republicans. George Dubya Bush bends to the will of the people as he can determine that will. Jeb Bush would be no different.

Politicians who say .. "I will not do what the voters want.. I will do what I know is right!" are soon former office holders or failed candidates.

If a movement can get the support of the voters, the politicians take care of themselves. If one can get 70 percent of the voters to favor a policy both parties will adopt it and then accuse each other of dragging their feet on adoption.

It is very interesting. If the voters find out they were wrong. .. They just fire the office holder with which they used to agree.

The only effective way to influence politicians is to influence the voters first.

Every successful politican knows.. the people rule!

.. the people rule!

Yeah... we used to.

If one can get 70 percent of the voters to favor a policy both parties will adopt it and then accuse each other of dragging their feet on adoption.

What is your take on the illegal alien issue then? Does this make it difficult for Hillary or Obama or Rudy to win the general election?
