A Guiding Hand Or A Shove?

The recent debate over the filibustering of judicial nominees has made me think about how and why we elect our Congressional representatives. The United States is technically a republic in that we elect people who then represent us in voting on issues of importance to the nation. We are also a democracy in that our elected representatives are ultimately responsible to the people by way of the ballot box. In other words, a republic could exist in which representatives are just chosen by the head of state (there was a time in the US when our senators were chosen by state legislatures) instead of by the voting public.

With this in mind, here is my question: do we elect people to simply do the will of the majority in our state or congressional district or do we elect people who belong to a party or have certain political beliefs that are most like ours in the hope they will vote the way we want? In other words, should an elected official always vote the way 51% or more of his constituents would vote on an issue or should he vote the way he feels is right, since his political opinions were what helped him get elected?

I lean towards the latter course because I don’t think it is feasible for an elected official to constantly know the will of the people he serves. We elect our leaders because of what they say they believe in and where they fall on the issues important to us. Sometimes, they do a poor job of representing us; then our responsibility is to replace them.

Do you believe that our politicians should be an extension of the majority of the public’s will or should they be free to vote what they believe is best?

Sadly, elections (IMHO) are not decided by the candidates do-rights, or done-wrongs. Elections are decided by voters who believe the mud-slinging of the person whom they vote for.

Take this past election, for example. Baron Hill, and Markt Lytle are two very good examples of hard-working representatives of the people. In Markt's case, it just turned out that Billy Bright had more people in his home community who believed everything he said to win the election. The same was true with Baron Hill. Maybe the people of this area just believed that a change was needed, but it seems to me that more and more campaigns are little more than pissing contests held on local, regional, and national TV.

If this were a perfect world, the representative would know and execute the will of the people, regardless of his popularity. This is called democracy. Instead, what we have is a government full of ruthless, backstabbing, pocket-liners who's vote is determined by one and only one standard: The amount of money that the lobbyists are willing to spend to see that the "proper" vote is cast "in the best interest of the people."

Baron Hill proved during his tenure in D.C. that he was a party shill. Had he shown a little more backbone, he might still be in office, although I still wouldn't have voted for him.

In the interest of full disclosure, I did vote for his predecessor, Lee Hamilton (who was a Democrat) once. Just once.

I agree with the latter option. The only exception I can think of is John McCain. For him I suggest the nuclear option.
