DEMOCRACY -does it exist?

DEMOS +KRATOS = DEMOCRACY (DEMOKRATIA) is there such a thing as democracy? I mean really,is there? I bring up this question because sometime ago I heard a politician in the UNITES STATES,If I am not mistaken it was the republican majority leader,say that they will work to deny the incumbent a second term.QUESTION,why is he and his cronies deciding HOW THE American people should vote? 2)Is he in

congress to serve the people or his own interests?Their attitude was and is,it doesnt matter if the president comes up with something(suggestion) that will benefit the people we will JUST SAY NO! so he does not become successful and get re elected.If there is such a thing as democracy then why go to such great lengths to sabotage the incumbent`s chances of re election? why not let the PEOPLE decide for them selves? I ask again,is there really such a thing as democracy? I end by saying this when I was some where sometime I happen to hear a song,as a musician I pay attention to music and lyrics etc,its not a song I would NOT listen to myself,but I heard it,so I end with the a few lyrics of that song(modified).ALL I WANNA SAY IS THEY DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU!
