Our Culture of Pandering

I may have to read this book, though I have never been a fan of Simon and company.

The one thing that bothers me about part of his premise is his condemnation of politicians that 'pander' to the masses.

It seems to me that if our politicos IGNORE our wishes, we condemn them for 'being out of touch' or for 'ignoring the will of the people'. Yet when they take polls and make decisions based on the peoples wishes, people accuse them of 'pandering to the masses'.

I will have to take an afternoon to read his work to see what his problem is with the way the political system is run.
