Thats always a funny one. If we the people vote for our government, then we're a democracy - in addition to being a republic.I think the "We're not a democracy, we're a republic" talking point has been around quite a while.
Also most of the people who love that talking point cling dearly to their voter-initiative direct democracy powers (which out of the other side of their mouth is what they call the worst kind of democracy.)
