"Representative" Democracy under DemocRATS?
"When the new Congress debuts in January 2009, a record 45 Jews will
take the oath of office: 32 in the House of Representatives and --
regardless of the outcome in the still-contested Minnesota election
--
13 Jews in the Senate."

A minority of 2% of Americans controls 13% of the Senate and 7% of
the
House ? Is that good ?
I'm not sure that is what the Founders had in mind when they talked
about a representative democracy. Of course the Founders had never
heard of "campaign contributions", either.
