dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Kerry fought in the war Bush avoided. Who wouldn't bring that up? The proof of voter fraud could have been obtained if the 13 members of the House of Representatives, who objected to the receiving of Florida's electoral votes, would have been heard. But corruption is deeply rooted in our government from its very conception. That is why 50% of Americans feel the will of the people is not served. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

| Voter Fauid became commonplace voiter fauid commonplace many years ago. Voter fraud is used by both parties in all elections. Dead people have been voting for years, and so have peoples pets, illegal aliens, you name a way to fradulently vote, and it is being done everywhere. There is no cure for it, only a battle against it. Unfortunately to many people on both sides are against a large part of the battle, which is to require valid ID when voting. | |||||||||||||||||||||

People are so stuck between Liberal and Conservative, I could never see this happening. Godbless, Tadpole. “I am a Republican. I\'m loyal to the party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe that my party, in some ways, has strayed from those principles, particularly on the issue of fiscal discipline.” -John McCain "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution.

Let me make a hypothetical scenario so you can have some insight into how IRV can promote more than two parties. Let's say Oscar the grouch, Ms. Piggy and Kermit were running for office. Oscar is a republican canidate Now Oscar is an evil asshole who you really don't want to see in office but your favorite canidate Kermit, who stands for what you believe in, doesn't have as much support as Oscar's main competition Ms. Piggy. In essence a vote for your favorite canidate is giving evil Oscar that much more of a chance to get in office. This is the so called spoiler vote syndrome. IRV would allow you to rank Kermit 1st, Ms. Piggy 2nd, and Oscar 3rd. If Kermit doesn't get enough of the overall vote your vote counts towards Ms. Piggy and does not help Oscar. This would promote voting for what you believe in and not what you are afraid of or against someone. It would level the playing field for 3rd parties and unlock the centralized power the democrats and republicans currently enjoy. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.
