The minority Republican Party does not represent "the will of the people" (McCain, Congress)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

The idea that the minority party represents the "will of the people" (not some of the people, but "the people") is the seedling of a totalitarian mindset. In this mindset -- democracy doesn't matter, ideas are not to be discussed, and opposing views are not to respected. What matters is that they alone have truth, they alone are metaphysically connected to the "mind of the people" can interpret their will, and because they have truth and speak for the people, others represent a threat and must be silenced and stopped.

I agree with the writer: The idea that the losing party should respect the outcome of an election appears to be a foreign concept to today's Republican/Tea Party.

Of course they don't represent the will of the people. If they did, they would not be the minority party.

They kicked us in the teeth for 10 years. Nice to see the shoe on the other foot for a change.

The votes against the so-called health reform were bipartisan. Not just the Repbulicans but also 34 Democrats voted NO.

It is interesting that the Tea Party and the Repubs are so adamant that their opinions are what America REALLY thinks- if that were the case then McCain would be in office right now instead of Obama
