The electoral system still makes no sense. Why should a state NOT be able to have the majority vote? One state does NOT mean one identity. Additionally, to correct another one of your mistakes, if the electoral vote works correctly, it is supposed to mirror the POPULAR VOTE of the state. That did not happen in 2000. You need to open up a book. And no. Glen Beck is not a book.

In conclusion… get a clue. Your embarrassing yourself. Get your thumb out of your mouth and your head out of your bum.

P.S. Not as if reading is your forte, but if you read my post or even knew what my blog was about, “elitist whiny liberal” is a far cry from what I stand for.

Hi I am a former Army National Guard soldier and I have a petition at OperationGoBack.com, would your sign my petition? Can you also ask others you know to sign my petition too? I need 2 million legal American to sign my petition. We must reverse this illegal invasion of illegal people into our country!

Can you help me increase that Illegal Exodus…Back to Mexico to an even larger number by signing our petition to send back all illegal alien invaders from our country? Because The SPAM Group will take another bite at the apple of “American Citizenship by any means necessary and Legalize Our Illegals Agenda. (The SPAM Group means The Spanish People Advocacy Movement Group) They are pushing a “The Race” or La Raza” agenda which is against the well being of the legal American citizens. It has been proven that their MAIN agenda is to create through political manipulation and what I call “False Arguments of Illegal Immigration, create a DUAL SPANISH/ENGLISH speaking America. Our founders are turning over in their graves. We can not let this happen. “Now is the time for ALL GOOD MEN to come to the AID of this country!”

Soon Illegal Alien Invaders will be granted AMNESTY (legal) status by DEFAULT! Because Legal Americans DID NOTHING to stop them. Have you ever been summoned to court to answer a charge, but you didn’t show up to defend your self and make your case, so the other party WON BY YOUR DEFAULT? That’s what’s happening now in this country! In just a little while Illegal Alien Invaders will get;

· AMNESTY (Legal Status) By YOUR DEFAULT!

There is only one question that all legal Americans must answer, and answer now. This question is also the MANDATE for the next president of the United States. We must get ready to sit 2 Million plus signatures on his desk, with the answer to this question. Yes the number is high because this issue is that important, and we have 300 Million plus legal people in America:

· Should illegal alien invaders stay here illegally in America and gain LEGAL AMNESTY status by DEFAULT (American’s Inaction) or should they Go Back?

Sign our petition to send illegal alien invaders back, we need 2 Million
Legal Americans to step forth and sign our petition, then ask everyone
you know to sign and ask them to tell their friends and family to sign
our petition too, that means everyone on your contact list.
Why? Because absolutely no one is telling these illegal alien invaders
to Go Back to their country, so they SQUAT illegally in our neighborhoods!

Your post on the electoral college and voting was right on. The electoral college is a travesty. Hopefully we will turn some red states blue this year, though.

but many Republicans have supported tightening immigration standards, while Democrats have repeatedly pushed for lessening these regulations, drivers licenses for illegals, etc.

And THAT’S why I’m pissed at the Republicans! Because it’s a Republican stance to act on illegal immigration!! We expect the Dems to try to keep them here because otherwise would be “racist” and unCanadian.

But the suggestion that people voted for Bush because they were “stupid, uneducated rubes” – not because they thought Al Gore was a pompous blowhard who was long on rhetoric and short on policy.

Some are stupid and ignorant, but so are some on the left. Look at the essay written by my friend, Lina in the same post. I posted it there to show how just because one has voted for Dumya, doesn’t mean they had evil intentions to destroy the world. I know you all (or we all) have the best intentions at heart.

But it is no longer at heart if you vote a certain way to piss someone else off!

I did miss the point of your post a bit – you basically want to be sure that everyone knows that you didn’t vote for Bush, and that he didn’t win the popular vote in 2000. Fair enough. But the suggestion that people voted for Bush because they were “stupid, uneducated rubes” – not because they thought Al Gore was a pompous blowhard who was long on rhetoric and short on policy. It’s comforting (I suppose) for those who hate America to be able to claim that all Americans must be stupid because we elected Bush. What their really saying is “they must be stupid because they didn’t vote for the guy I liked”. Since these same individuals rarely, if ever have the best interests of America at heart – why on Earth should we feel bad about not voting for the guy they like? For me, a vote that pisses of the anti-Americans is a vote well spent. I don’t want France, England, and Iran to approve of my vote for PoTUS.

Actually, if you look at the post I wrote beforehand and read through the comment section, you’ll see what inspired this post.

Even if you think that the electoral victory for Gore was a conspiracy theory, he still won the popular vote. However, the Anti-Americans keep on saying ad nauseam that Bush won the popular vote. So, I set the record straight with this post. And it is this ignorance that is at the top of my list of Anti-American pet-peeves.

I have a long list of Anti-Anti-American posts on a waiting list that I want to type, but I am so into this election and very lazy at the same time that I am slowing down, some.

And yes, I find this post handy so we won’t be accused of voting Bush in for a third term. Just consider it a preemptive strike.

Voter fraud? What about all the illegal aliens that don’t have to show a REAL ID to vote? Bush loves illegal aliens and has done squat about this situation.

But yeah, the electoral system can be unfair both ways, but when has it ever screwed over the red states? If they screw over the red states this time, at least things will be even. But I doubt that will happen as too many corporations out there have too much a stake in the outcome and are more powerful than the average American. Omg… I sound so left here… LOL

Only people who know nothing about American government refer to it as a democracy. It is, always has been, and hopefully always will be a representative republic. It is a democratic form of government, but a democracy it ain’t.

ah, yes – the battle cry of “selected, not elected” – are we getting that one out of the closet just in case things don’t work out in November?

But your right – having an electoral system that we can’t trust 100% isn’t helpful. Speaking of an electoral system you can’t trust – what about those rascals at ACORN? Under investigation in 4 states for massive voter fraud – and we’re still weeks awat from the election. I have a feeling the dead will turn out in record numbers come November. That’ll make hanging chads seem a distant, pleasant memory.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC). The bill would take effect only when enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). When the bill comes into effect, all the electoral votes from those states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).

The National Popular Vote bill has been approved by 21 legislative chambers (one house in CO, AR, ME, NC, and WA, and two houses in MD, IL, HI, CA, MA, NJ, RI, and VT). It has been enacted into law in Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland. These states have 50 (19%) of the 270 electoral votes needed to bring this legislation into effect.

However, this time, I think americans deserve a turn. Most people (I hope) realise that bush was not elected twice as has been well described above, he did however cheat the majority of Americans out of their democratic choice, for which there has been almost nothing done!! Just because a judge said it was ok certainly does not make it so. In the UK most of our judges have altzheimers or dementia, which does not entirely preclude them from making sense, but means we should question and reject their decisions on a regular basis.

Now here is the kicker With this terrible finacial situation, Big Boy Bush (BBB) and his pals plan to rip you off again – I can only imagine that BBB thinks his fellow Americans are completely stupid and either won’t notice or won’t care he is about slip it to democracy and law again.

I quote you:

“Sec. 8. Review.

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”

LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL FOR TREASURY AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE MORTGAGE-RELATED ASSETS.

Thats going to be a new law – now just in case you didn’t get that, it means, roughly this – I can do exactly what I want and no court of law or congress or even God Almighty can question what I say and do.

If Americans let this pass – Well , I can’t even put that in to words.
