I did a Google search the other day of the "difference between a republic and a democracy and got quite an education.

It's no wonder the Dems want a Democracy, and their attempt to steal the election last year only confirmed that it is their goal, whether they realize, know, acknowledge it or not.

I agree with you, let's never lose site of our Republic.

One of the remnants of our Repiblic is the Electoral College which the Democrats of course want to demolish. I don't remember the exact statistics anymore, but I think at the time it was stated that Gore's national "popular majority" was less that his majority in any one of several, major urban centers, Los Angelos and New York in particular. And, invoking the holy name "democracy", democrats think we should all find it self-evident that the winner of the popular vote should be the winner of the election. Yes, urban centers went big for Gore. Ed Rendell really pulled out the vote for him in Philadelphia, Democrat turnout there was better than 100%. In Chicago, Mayor Daley won 100% of the dead vote for Gore. (But ask yourself, should the dead really be voting for our president, after all, what is it to them. Dead Democrats can have FDR as their president, if, indeed as that old poem predicted, he has taken over from Satan.)
