Minority Rules!!

Does anyone else see how tragic it is that less than 25% of eligible voters determine the path of our government.
Some may ask how this is possible. I submit that in the past general election we had the unusually high turn out of over 44% of registered electors. If you look at many issues and candidates, very few won by more than 60% of the cast votes. 60 % of 44% is 26%. Talk about the ruling minority. We have it and have been suffering under its influence for the past decade or longer.
Politicians realize they only have to serve the minority voters that will continue the current status of government, because the "Silent Majority" , (sorry it is proven by statistics) will seldom get involved. The secret of the Tea Party Movement is that it focuses on that minority.
