Uh-oh. Here we go again.

That's all the further I had to read. Thank you.

If we learn nothing from history, we're doomed to repeat it, as is proof in our re-electing Obozo. We, as a nation, might be to stupid to govern ourselves anymore. But I suppose that was part of the liberal plan 60 years ago. Make them so stupid, they'll vote themselves into irrelevance. - Mission Accomplished!

Banks should post new loan notices that start with, "NOTICE: Our loan policy discriminates against applicants that will not be able to afford to pay our money back to us."

One of the reasons the electoral college was put into place was because the founders didn't trust the common folks to have brains enough to vote in the best people. Also we are a republic and the electoral college keeps the winner take all policy of a democracy out of the mix. However, this is only true if the Electors use their constitutional given rights to cast the electoral votes for the one they know is the better person to run the country. If we have honorable electors we will see Romney win in the end. However, this is probably not going to happen since we have few honorable men left in politics.

If the purpose of the Electoral college was to ever be used this is the time, as far as I know it has never been used the way it was intended.
