I think your side is the one with the knee-jerk reactions on this issue.

Someone says “A REPUBLIC AND NOT A DEMOCRACY” and everyone goes hog wild with approval.

Those of us who has examined this issue realistically have concluded it would be a disaster to have State Legislators appoint Senators.

People in many states have made piss poor choices of Senators. Career politicians in State Legislatures would make even worse choices. Expecting them to choose wisely is dangerous naive. They are full of rats and RINOS and yes even corrupt “conservatives”. You don’t make things better by giving politicians MORE power.

RE: Chicago mayor's race: I feel your pain. Isn't it great to have such a fantastic selection of candidates to choose from? Honestly, it makes me look at scums like the Castros in a newer, better light.

Anyone who wants to change the 17th truly has their head up their ass, period. See my above post as to why giving most pols MORE power is a worse idea than naming LiLo the designated driver on New Year's Eve.

Why is it when I see glance upon Big Sis I think of tuna tacos?
