Would the country be better with a truer democracy?

[Anal_Hershiser]

Why do people throw out random stats that have no basis in reality to support their argument? 55% of this country voted for Obama. Do you think they didn't know about Obamacare when they voted for him? Where on earth did you get the 75% figure? You simply pulled it out of your ass, which makes this entire thread completely useless. If 75% of the population were against Obamacare, he NEVER would have been reelected. If you wanna make the case that 75% of the population doesn't understand what Obamacare is, and what the ramifications may be, fine. But stop making up random stats, that is what 6TP does.

I was slightly off but you get my point.

Slightly off? You said, "I bet 75% of the country is against it yet it will be implemented shortly." Turns out it was "73% of Independents oppose Obamacare." That is more than just being "slightly off." That is basically lying. What I HAVE often wondered, is how a candidate who promised to poll his constituency on major issues and vote accordingly, would fare in a major election. Giving people an actual chance to provide input on specific issues instead of voting based on a candidates general agenda could be a big draw imo.
