Republicans are Scared

Tony Snow made some interesting comments today:

Democracies operate on different principles than totalitarian states. In a democracy, you have to respond to the will of the people. In a democracy within the United States, whether it be Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont competing for votes in Connecticut or on the local level dealing with the needs for people to have safe streets, good schools and services they can depend upon, those are the things -- you respond to the state desires of the people. In totalitarian states, the despot alone has the opportunity to declare what he or she wants to do, and frankly, quite often they are much more war-like.

Democracies respond to the will of the people. Amen Tony. That must be a scary thought for you. He also mentioned that a "white flag" in Iraq is the same as a white flag against terror. Desperation.
