It is a terrible form of government.
But it is also better than all the other choices.
Right now, that argument doesn’t ring true. For Democracy to be effective, you need an intelligent, ethical, moral, well-informed citizenry - a Republic of virtue. Need I say more?
Give me a republic any day. Democracies are little more than mobocratic tyrannies.
Democracy is the greatest form of government. However it is like any organization of people. It is only as good as those who are elected to serve. When a man like Reid thinks lying is justified to get Obama elected one starts to think we need our elected officials to pass lie detector tests every month or so. I am in favor of every elected official plus every Gov type having to take lie detector tests. The VA employees damn sure should.
