Chaffee and Feinstein...a couple of liberals. Little wonder they want to undo what the Founding Fathers created.
Sure, Diane. All those small states will just roll over and agree.
What IS this garbage about? Playing to their base again?
Gaddafi was spouting off yesterday that Libya's voting along the lines of Diane's demands made his country more free than the USA.
He must be writing the bimbette's speeches.
Okay, we must eliminate the Senate itself, along with any semblance of "states" while we're at it.
It's only logical, if they want to get rid of the EC. I'm glad that Feinstein and Chafee are willing to sacrifice themselves for such a good cause.
As far as Feinswine & "bipartisan" Chaffee are concerned, the Constitution is an anachronism.
Then why did the Bush team spend so much time in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Oregon.
Oh yeah didn't Cheney go to Hawaii for crying out loud. That is also a Democratic state with only a few electors.
Abolition of the electoral college will ensure that no candidate will pay any great amount of attention to small states. They will concentrate their efforts even more on the large population states and ignore the small ones. It is this tendency that the eectoral college was designed to counter. The Founding fathers were not stupid dead white men, despite the generally held beliefs of the liberals and MSM.
Well, the RINO Senator of the tiny state of Rhode Island seems to be willing to. RI needs to dump Chaffee......he's too stupid to be a senator.
Great. Presidential Elections controlled by 5 cities. That's what we need.
Didn't tons of states won by Kerry have much smaller margins than FL? PA, MI, WI, MN.... It's only the MSM at work saying that it came down to OH and FL.
Of course, the democrats know how to "recount" to their advantage and republicans don't. Any GOP margin of victory less than 1% turns into a loss. When was the last time a recount worked in GOP's favor?
Okay, how about let's make a deal (which of course the dems will never agree to)--abolish the Electoral College in exchange for a national voter id database.
No way, Jose! Generally, the College is serving the purpose for which it was designed, i.e., keeping densely populated areas from controlling the country. Note Feinstein and Chafee are from what one would consider the densely populated areas of the country. Also, you might as well consider Chafee to be
a 'Rat.
While they're tinkering with the Constitution, why don't they consider Repealing the 17th Amendment?
I bet the good people of Rhode Island will be thrilled with this.
More proof the Founding Fathers were brilliant.
Things like this are exactly why we have the second amendment. Besides, it's never gonna happen. 2/3 of the sates agreeing to give up any say in the presidential elections? Yeah right.
