Rather than the "will of the people," election results are often only a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions.

Ain't that the truth!

              about democracy are subverting peace and freedom. The American system 
              of government is collapsing thanks to ignorant citizens, lying politicians, 
              and a government leashed neither by law nor Constitution. While 
              presidents and pundits harp on democracy’s inevitable spread around 
              the world, it is perishing at home. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.lewrockwell.com/bovard/bovard19.html"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Victorious 
              politicians routinely invoke the "will of the people" 
              to sanctify their power. But voters cannot countenance what they 
              do not understand. The "will of the people" is often simply 
              a measure of how many people fell for which lies, how many people 
              were frightened by which advertisements, and which red herrings 
              worked on which target audiences. Rather than the "will of 
              the people," election results are often only a one-day snapshot 
              of transient mass delusions. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.lewrockwell.com/bovard/bovard19.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.lewrockwell.com/img/3EA9077F-C09C-44ED-85C6-B702BC6AE42E" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.lewrockwell.com/bovard/bovard19.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.lewrockwell.com/img/405AE7BB-8849-461E-8033-FCCB6BD59ED2" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/26669196-70E5-4033-88B9-2A72B1AF6388/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
