Like it or not we are a Republic not a Democracy

A Constitutional Republic is similar to democracy in that it uses democratic processes to elect representatives and pass new laws, etc. The critical difference lies in the fact that a Constitutional Republic has a Constitution that limits the powers of the government. It also spells out how the government is structured, creating checks on its power and balancing power between different branches. The idea was to hold the entire government in check by utilizing the jealousies of the people in each branch over their own areas.

We are governed by the rule of law not the rule of the majority (mob rule) be they Republican or Democrat.

Today the United States House of Representatives, Under the leadership of Tom Delay, is little more than a Republican controlled mob.
