in action (Because the Dem&Reps have a monopoly) to really compare to.
I just don't understand why the American people aren't fighting mad
against the Dems&Reps.
The Dems went to court to keep R. Nader off the ballet! (A little fascist?)
A.Gore had more votes but lost the election (The system does not work!)
In 1992
Clinton got ~42% of the poeples Vote --> 70% (Electroial )
Bush Sr got ~39% of the peoples Vote --> 30%
Ross P. got ~18% of the peoples Vote --> 0%
(42% is not a majority! A run off election would have helped!)
The system does not truly reflect the will of the people.
Who picks the Electoral College voters?
Who made the "Winner take all" rule for the Electoral College votes?
Isn't political oppression something we are against?
Aren't monopolies against the law?
Go read the declaration of independence! |

Level up: 34%, 36 Points needed | | Oh yes I would ! FYI I would be considered more conservative than liberal.
Look it doesn't matter who's in the white house.........
ONLY THE DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN PARTIES CAN WIN !
This is like a dictatorship. The only difference is we can choose
which of the "2" parties will lead! ("1" party away from a Dictatorship!)
See, we are fooled in to thinking we are free and democratic!
Most Americans just go in circles fighting about LIB-CON B.S.
As long as the Dems and Reps can keep people fight against
each other over secondary issues DEMS&REPS won't ever have
to change their current corrupt methods of governing.
And this has nothing to do with Kerry! |

Go read the declaration of independence! | The people of the state pick the electoral college voters when they cast their ballots in the election.
Each state determines how the electoral votes will be cast, some states do not award all votes to the winning candidate in the state, I believe New Hampshire is one, in which the electoral votes are divided according to the winner of the different congresional district.
50 states that have the ability to determine how they will cast there electoral college votes, where is the oppression.
As far as monopolies go, if one company can produce a product better and cheaper than all others, why shouldn't they get all the business??
