How do we combat the "democracy" fallacy? Is the 'Reality Gap' really that wide?

I keep hearing about 'democracy' and the threat that Bush's election poses to 'democracy' in America. I just want to scream!!

The irony is that the reaction of the "democracy must prevail" crowd during this election is EXACTLY what the founders wanted to avoid when they founded a REPUBLIC!! The 'will of the people' does not (or should not, anyway) supercede the rule of law (the true meaning of the term, not the Clintonized definition). When that happens, it really is the beginning of the end (a lesson the Florida Supremes need to learn).

If we can't even agree on the form of gubmint we're under, then there's a serious Reality Gap in this country. The other side is convinced they can change reality through some kind of induced mass delusion ("repeat the lie often enough" strategy). It seems to be working for the most part, but every once in a while, the good guys win one.

Sorry to just vent, but I have yet to hear even ONE talking head point out that this is NOT a democracy, let alone suggest that a democracy is, in actuality, a nightmare form of gubmint.
 
And while I'm venting

I vow to choke the first SOB that uses the term "undervote" in my presence!

It's a vote or it ain't. The standard is applied and its met, or you've just screwed the pooch. By the way, the only little bit of cosmic justice out of this whole debacle is that the Dems bussed people to the polls who have NO right voting (yes, I said it, if you're so drunk/doped/stupid/mentally ill/illiterate that you're homeless, you shouldn't be allowed to vote) and they voted for PAT BUCHANAN because he was "#2"! HA HA HA!
 
Jack, the best thing I know to do is get 'em to quit listening to the TV for "news"-- it's 90% propaganda, spin, talking points from the DNC, and "all the stories they won't talk about."
Here's a link to a short list of my favorite "educate yourself" sites:

the 'net is probably the fastest & easiest way to get people to see how much they are lied to & spun by the media & our "representatives."
Of course, the old-time hardcopy approach of subscriptions to Human Events, the Washington Times, and other non-leftist publications can work, too.
