During a statement on Tuesday, former Vice President Al Gore argued that the Electoral College should be abolished in favor of a popular vote system.

Gore said he supported keeping the Electoral College even after the 2000 election, because it tied the states together, but now he has changed his mind and thinks the Electoral College should be eliminated.

[RoosterRedux]

If Gore is for it...that’s the best argument against it.

Tipped agrees.

[dforest]

Fat bloviating pompous ass.

[Luke21]

Should we eliminate mistresses too?

[workerbee]

He was for the EC before he was against it.

[morphing libertarian]

The worse the president’s legacy the louder they are in retirement. Carter. Now wait for Obama beating his own drum the next 8 years.

[Pearls Before Swine]

8? Make it the next 20 or 30!

Isn’t the popular vote what elected all the governors, senators and reps? Better be careful, people.

[Kickass Conservative]

Liberals want a real life Hunger Games.

One “District” telling the other Districts what to do.

Direct Democracy, One Sheep and Two Wolves deciding what’s for Dinner. The Tyranny of the Obtuse Majority.

[Bullish]

Such leadership skill from a presidential candidate who didn’t even win in his own home state.

[Publius]

Three fourths of the state legislatures, not two thirds.

[LucyT]

He’s still alive?

[madison10]

Arrgghh! No. Founding Fathers knew and fought against people like you, Algore. THAT is why they created the Electoral College.

[boycott]

Al, Would it give you a happy ending?

[Ray76]

Get back under your rock.

[manc]

Yea , because the Founding Fathers were not that bright to figure out how the smaller states could be represented. sigh.

Maybe if illegals were not voting too the popular vote would go to republicans.

[manc]

Yep. The kids at college down here vote here, and vote in their home states.
All of that needs to stop.

[stars & stripes forever]

Have you noticed AL GORE is beginning to look like GEORGE SOROS?

[Political Junkie Too]

Which is as it should be, since the states were supposed to be the day-to-day governing body of the people. The states elect the President as the one voice for foreign policies and common defense.

...Gore: We Should Abolish Electoral College, Popular Vote Would ‘Stimulate Public Participation’...

If you are interested only in issues involving California, fringe lunatic liberal Oregon and Washington, and the liberal elite in New York’s metropolitan areas. The founders created the electoral college to give the entire country try a voice. No thanks. Most Democrats ideas are bad ideas, including algores latest one.
