Should elected officials votes on legislation push the agenda of a party or the wishes of the American voter?

I see / read a lot of reference to " The Party , The Party, The Party ! "


What about the voter , the voter , the voter ?





Should votes on legislation be cast to satisfy the president and other politicians goals or the wishes of the public majority ?|||It should be the wish of the people who voted him into office, but so often isn't.|||Clinton told Esquire magazine that lawmakers should put together the best health care measure for President Barack Obama, even if it must be fixed later.





"All we have to worry about is getting things done" Clinton said.





NOW..is THAT right? Shouldn't we be doing something FOR the people that they think through and NOT PUSH THROUGH..KNOWING it is wrong ?????





Dems...wow....it isn't for the people...by the people.....not anymore. IT is for the party...and BO does it...and he has his former president who couldn't keep his pants up when he should have been doing his job....telling us that they are going to push something through ..not thought out...not right...but because it has to be done!





WAY TO GO DEMS!!! Make this statement knowing once something is in...there is almost never a redo and fixing of anything wrong. It is as it is!|||Elected officials should satisfy the voters in the majority, just like any good Democracy! Rock on brother!|||The two party system with its inherent checks and balances will see elected officials voting against the majority.. Our Constitution and democratic process insure we do not allow any dictate or proposal to go unchallenged. A matter of trial by fire.. I would expect that if I voted for a certain party, that my elected official would vote the party values; and if voting on something that is not in the interest of the majority would loose.
