					<description><![CDATA[I expect the title of this op-ed will generate enough hate mail to keep me busy for a month. How can anyone oppose democracy?  If the Founders hated democracy, who am I to disagree? The Founders recognized the inherent dangers of democratic government. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, called democracy &#8220;one of the greatest evils.&#8221; Alexander Hamilton, better known for being a Broadway phenomena that one of the most significant individuals in the establishment of the&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Campaigns are the embodiment of barely controlled chaos. In conduct, and by nature, they are modern-day morality plays that feature candidates slugging it out for their political — and reputational — lives.
