		<description>&quot;&lt;strong&gt;...are willing to give us back our democracy&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;...this statement personifies the problem in America today.

#1, we are not a &#039;democracy&#039;.
#2, people like Jack seem to follow the opposite logic on which this country was founded; &quot;...that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,...&quot;

It is not up to either party or government to give us anything.  It is up to us to select qualified representatives who will responsibly interpret the principles on which this great country was founded.  

Why would anybody wait for dems (or GOPers) to allow its citizens to pursue life, liberty and happiness?  It&#039;s the other way around Jack, or at least it should be.

If voters follow the logic espoused by Jack, we are indeed FUBAR and should immediately invoke another section of the Declaration of Independence which says, &quot;That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.&quot;</description>
