It is...that's what elections are for.
You seem to have trouble with the difference between pure democracy and a Republic.
We have the latter. We vote for representatives on our behalf. If you don't like an Ambassador, that's tough.
Your leader might for a reason you may not see.
If you consistently don't like the choices, vote differently or get more active at the grass roots level.
Handful? LOL.
We have thousands of lobbyists, PACS, political media centers, politicians, etc. etc.
Handful? You are quite uneducated about the political process.
Why isn’t voting for, and/or otherwise supporting representatives who act in immoral ways immoral also?
I haven’t voted for an immoral republican, but democrat policies are immoral and unwise.
Sorry, I interpreted an earlier post from you as saying you did vote for Republicans.
Are the rest of us committing an immoral act by voting Republican?
Yes, Balding Eagle I vote republican. I won’t vote for an immoral republican and I haven’t if one happens to run where I vote. But I am complaining that republican leaders will chastise their own, but will not chastise a democrat to the same degree. In the end we are all Americans so they should demand that a bad democrat resign as well. It isn’t all about party. No, I don’t believe any of us are wrong to vote republican.
LOL, you nailed it!
thanks for the laugh
