The end of democracy as we know it???

Either we have a different definition of "democracy" or someone needs to get a grip.  Last night after the AMAZING WIN by Scott Walker in Wisconsin, a democrat union member was interviewed on the street by CNN and he began to weep that "We are not just disappointed, This is the end of democracy.  If we didn't win tonight, the end of the USA as we know it just ended.  That's it!"

Here is the video clip for you to see:

So this is the END OF DEMOCRACY?   Just how is that so?   Your unions managed to get enough votes to have a "do-over" (recall) according to your constitution,  you set a date of June 5th for the election.  Your people came out and voted in droves (even some people from Michigan were so involved they decided to take buses over from their state to vote in your election) and by the end of the night 58% said they wanted to keep Gov. Walker.  Just how is that not democracy?

The answer to the question is that to many democracy does not mean "people rule", but instead "we rule".   The best example of this occurred when the unions occupied the Wisconsin state capital and they chanted and held signs saying, "This is what Democracy looks like!".  To them democracy is MOB-RULE and the MOB with the loudest voice and the most signs should win by default.  No need for messy and expensive elections... just listen to the mob.  No need for a televised debate....just listen to the mob.  No need for a constitution... the mob knows what is best.  No need for the rule of law... the mob will handle it. 

But we know that mob rule is not democracy.  We know its destructive and devastating to any nation that lives by it.  France tried it in the 1700's during the French Revolution and more than 40,000 people died during the period referred to as "The Terror" when a loud and vocal minority of people were able to rule the country and shut down all decent.

No sir.  This is what democracy (or better yet a democratic republic) looks like.  You may have lost the election but you still have a strong framework of law and order which derives its power from the Constitution your state lives by.  Your judges and police still enforce the law.  Your schools still teach your children.  Your firemen still save lives and property. 

The democracy lives on.

One more note:  the man in the video says they were "outspent $20 million to $4 million" which is completely wrong.   Barret had over $29 million dollars (most from unions) but only spent $3 million dollars.  What?  Where did the other $26 million go and why did they not spend it.  The answer for that is simply that the polls already showed that it was a lost cause with 2 weeks to go and most elections spend a large part of their advertising in those last 2 weeks.  With Walker leading with 6-7 percentage points, spending that money would be throwing good money after bad and could be used on some other "future race" (ahem... Obama).
