we're just going to sit back and accept this?
If Hillary gets in, it'll be something like 32 yrs of Bush-Clinton rule.
Did anyone check to see if all the money Bill and GB senior received for the Tsunami actually got to the region?
None of the choices make any sense.
Ron Paul interests me, but he's never going to get a chance, if the system is rigged.
And this is by no means a Ron Paul thread. I just think he is interesting, but the main stream news media won't even show him hardly. They never talk about him, unless it's a putdown.
Plus, Ron Paul is a politician. I'm having trouble believing any career politician at the moment, even if his message is interesting.

The only corrupt part of our country is the people who tell other people to not vote because they won't count. Of course they count. Do you think they just come up with random numbers in the polls?

Since the elections are coming up, I thought it might be a good time to get a discussion going about the voting process.
I'll be the first to admit, I don't understand the electoral vote as well as I should.
Second, how did Florida suddenly get the largest amount of electoral votes.
I always thought Iowa had the most.
And if it's about population density, then why did Iowa have so many votes?
Is the electoral college just another tool to control who is in power?

On Sat., Nov. 11, Palm Beach County, Florida election officials ordered a hand recount of all votes cast in the county and stated that the manual vote count could take as long as 41 days. This, and other possible hand recounts throughout the state, would place a final certification of Florida's vote well beyond the Dec, 18, vote of the Electoral College.
Should the Florida vote remain uncertified on Dec. 18, the state would be unable to select its electors and their 25 votes would not be cast in the Electoral College.

Regarding election fraud. How convenient for the dems to only concentrate on 2000 and 2004 basically because they lost. Check out some history, such as the 1960 election that kennedy won by having the mafia vote dead people in Chicago. This gave Illinois to the democrats and thus the election.

And back to Ohio in recent elections, the actual reports of fraud and voter intimidation were mostly pointed at dems.

Oh and what about the recent governors race in Washington state where dems won with more votes cast than there are registered voters? Dead people voting again?

Concentrating on 2000 and 2004 is really not seeing the forest for the trees. Very selective indeed.

Correct. Wrong if either side does it. Just tired of all the attempts to make it look like only republicans have done it.
Look up the Washington governors race.
And exactly which party is it now that supports illegal immigrants because they get them to vote?
Let's stop the one-sided bashing OK?
