Not one time did I dispute that elected officials are considered public servants.
My argument is and always has been that elected officials are not literally "our servants" as has been your argument since post #32 (
it does NOT change the fact that they're our servants! Repeat to yourself as necessary.) and post #38 (
Presidents, governors, mayors, judges...they're there to do our collective bidding.), and post #40 (
I'm sayin their "best judgement" had damn well better be what the public wants).
Shall I continue?
