"And judging from how the congressman and Senators voted on this bill, The American people must want it."

Suppose fifty one percent of the American people wanted to hang body shop owners because they charge too much? Would you be for that? We don't live in a democracy, wich by the way, is mob rule. We live in a republic whos government is restricted by a well defined constitution.

Now that's a Paul Begala argument if I ever heard one. Hell let me chime in too. If 18% of Americans thought like you, should your thoughts become law? or if 95% of Americans thought you were gay, would that make you a homosexual? Nothing like spinning the facts huh?
