Why Plato hated democracies . . .
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 12:14 PM by ProfessorPlum
Check out these quotes by the very people who are going to decide the fate of our candidates today (no offense to informed NH voters!):

---------------------

TIM KEARNS, UNDECIDED: (Kerry)'s somebody that I'm going to be looking at further to see where he comes out, what issues he comes out on. But he's been in the Senate for how long now? And I can't think of a bill that has had his name on it.

TENLEY CALLAGHAN, EDWARDS SUPPORTER: I've also wondered exactly what in the Senate that (Kerry)'s done. I mean I know he's been a senator for a long time and I'm sure he's, you know, done many things. I just couldn't name anything.

----------------------

Thanks for doing your homework, *ssholes.

1. LOL
Who was it who said something along the lines of 'the best argument against having representative democracies was to have a conversation with an average person'.

Ouch!
