Try again. If this was true then GW would have gotten *some* of the CA EC votes. As it stands he got none. Were going to have to work on your reading skills. We are talking about different ways of counting the electoral vote, not how they were counted. I believe that using a representational system, w

A dissenting view. I don't buy the arguments. We the vote shifted his way, smaller states would have zero say in the election and it would become a contest for the larger urban areas. I would much rather be lumped with Iowa's 1.2 million votes, than be lost in the 120 million votes of the last election.

A look at the Electoral College Issue If It Ain't Broke...Don't Fix It! by Dell Hunt originally published January 5, 2001; posted here June 25, 2001 ... . I recently heard a joke, "If it ain't broke... the government will fix it until it is." This might ring true in the "Constitutional Crisis" buzz that fills airwaves and newspapers. We're bombarded about how the Electoral College should be scrapped because it didn't awar

Thank you *whoman69*, Okay Solnac try again! Your example has been shown to be faulty at best The fact that the election was disputed does not erase the fact that election was won by a person who did not receive as much electoral vote as the other candidate. He gave you your one example of someone who

Synopsis: in 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes won the election by 1 electoral vote, and did not have the pouplar vote. Sure, tell me that's digging too deep and I'm extreme. But you did ask for an example, here it is. that's not the entire story, in the election it

A love in? let me suggest reading comprehension. moderateman praised bush because there have been no acts of foreign terror on american soil since 2001, when in actuality the last one previous was the other attack on the towers. it brings up the story of the tiger bel

did we have an attack by terrorist that I did not hear anything about after 9/11 ??? must be that tiger bell we are ringing, we hadn't had a sucessful foreign act of terrorism in the states since the first attack on the twin towers in the early 90s. At that rate, Al Quada should strike again aroun

What exactly does "no longer represents what the democratic party used to stand for" means? If it means voting more like Republicans, then I can't agree with their big budget, spend everything to make us safe but we really aren't safer attitude.

Gen. Washington, I accept your sword of surrender. The father of our country was not up to the task of modern politics. Again the candidate was me (see prev post) The final electoral count was 335-203, though I was ticked he took my home state of Iowa. He outspent me $38.64-32.77 million, but it did him not with the popular vote as he was beaten 85.66-73.28 million. Political capital was my ally 47-3 as I got the foreign policy, union, environm

It would take me 1,700 years to finance the inauguration, based on what I'm being paid now. Dunno 'bout the rest of y'all, but I ain't living that long. Let me beat the righties to it. Get a better job, ya deadbeat liberal.

all true and all good, still tho, why did not saddam just show and tell bout wmds? specially when the us military was poised on his doorstep. the appearance of WMDs was Saddams only trump card, and it was a 3 of spades. They bought into a bluff with 1000 dead and over 10,000 wounded.

Is it too far beyond the realm of belief that he used the last of his WMDs on the Kurds after the first Gulf War?

Maybe you should go look at who te Geneva Conventions cover. They cover enemy troops (prisoners of war) (those that wear an established uniforms) or civilians. Those we bare fighting and detaining are not considered POWS and are therefore not covered by the accords. They aren't considered civilians either if they were found beari
