We do not elect "benevolent kings".
We are talking about a Republican form of government and the foundational concepts that go along with it. The text I quoted above lays that out in very simple language... language developed and reiterated by our Founding Fathers.
Sorry Arlen... your proposition that representatives are somehow only obligated to vote their constituents is just plain wrong.

Dang! we agree!
I'm conservative, but I also support abortions, civil unions, gay marriages... and I don't support Obama or much else on the left. But I can't stand it when another conservative makes god-awful stupid statements like Arlen made and then tries to support it without a scintilla of evidence. Personal opinion is cute... but it doesn't have bupkus to do with reality.
