MrBig;n870136 said:Thank God we don't use the popular vote to elect a president. It amounts to nothing more than mob rule. All you would have to do is win California and New York and you got it. Actually I don't see why one state has more say in the election than another. Each state has autonomy and should get 1 electoral vote period . Whoever wins the majority of the states wins the election . On another thought I bet Lois Lerner is sweating bullets right about now! I must say this really feels good. This was the biggest collective FU this country has ever seen. We have been spoon fed the liberal politically correct pablum for 8 years now and me and 56,000,000 other people are sick to death of it. To all the protesters...open wide.
+1 I agree with that one.MrBig;n870136 said:We have been spoon fed the liberal politically correct pablum for 8 years now and me and 56,000,000 other people are sick to death of it.

The ones that get caught, that is. Great idea though. Our crims vote from prison and are encouraged to do so.cldlhd;n870125 said:1) convicted felons aren't allowed to vote . Law abiding Americans vote at absurdly low levels and I don't think criminals are very civic minded. Crack dealers don't vote.
2) You have to be a citizen to vote so terrorists....
3) I thought Australia was a nation of criminals?
It's obvious you don't know the difference between a democracy and a republic. In a republic the majority doesn't always win. In 1963 one person, Madalyn Murray O'hair single handedly got prayer taken out of school against the wishes of over 200,000,000 people. If I were you whatever school you got your degree in civics from I would ask for my money back. Stupid.cldlhd;n870143 said:That's the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile. You're suggesting that a state with 20 million people should have no more say than one with 100,000?
I know the difference but were electing a President of the country. I understand the majority vote doesn't always win but this is the way the founders set things up. . Obviously the states where nobody lives vote Republican so that's the reason you want each state to have one electoral vote even though that wouldn't be very democratic. School prayer? Seriously? There's plenty of time to pray on weekends , at home etc.... I don't want your religion jammed down my kids throat. Public schools are funded by everyone so are you going to have every religion represented? Why is it that so many religious people consider it a violation of their religious freedom if they're not allowed to force they're beliefs on others. Obviously you don't understand majority rules with respect to minority rights. Same thinking as the Taliban.MrBig;n870148 said:It's obvious you don't know the difference between a democracy and a republic. In a republic the majority doesn't always win.

You're right some terrorists are American citizens. The most "successful" one with the biggest body count that I can think of is Timothy McVeigh....Agian;n870146 said:The ones that get caught, that is. Great idea though. Our crims vote from prison and are encouraged to do so.
Some terrorists have American citizenship.
Only a minority are descended from convicts. They were the slaves that built Australia. Some were transported for the most trivial reasons, like stealing an apple
I wasn't advocating what she did one way or another. I was pointing out the difference between a democracy and a republic with an example. You could also use a refresher course in reading comprehension. God your thick.cldlhd;n870149 said:I know the difference but were electing a President of the country.

We're all people with different personalities. Politics and religion are divisive. So what?almost_hectic;n870152 said:That lasted all of two minutes I see. This site was a lifesaver to me when I was going through my surgery and recovery. I don't check in nearly as often as I used to. But I like to see if there's posts where I can now be helpful to others and contribute and give back from time to time. I viewed everyone in here as supportive because that's pretty much all I've ever seen in here was members of the forum being supportive to one another. Now, sprinkle a little politics in and suddenly it's a **** show of polar opposite opinions and animosity. Well many thanks to the original post for starting the **** show then leaving the room. You've brought out up the most hot button issue of the day that was obviously only going to divide people. I see no reason why it has any place in this forum but if you folks seem to like to argue with each other when you will seemingly will never share the others opinion, then flame on!
