Dr. Greg Brannon is a Republican candidate for Senate in North Carolina. Here is his quoted remark regarding democracy and majority rule:
"Senator Hagen says we got to have a nice debate and discussion (about gun control) about what to do. See that's called democracy which is actually socialism which is called majority rule."
This implies that political decisions in the United States ought to be made by a process other than "majority rule" which may come as a surprise to those who thought that they were living in a democracy where "majority rule" is the method of decision making.
