or do you think the voting is rigged, not as in one faction has an unfair advantage through overwhelming resources, but the counting of the votes being rigged. If you think that there are no free elections, that it is all a show and the votes are rigged, why do you think so?

Actually its the president who stonewalls congress, not the other way around.

Okay so there are people who tink there are no free presidential elections in the US. What makes you think this is the case, other than your candidate did not win oc :p .

You can prove or disprove anything you want with numerous sources.... It is what people will do with the information, or if they decide to do anything at all.

You know the saying... How do you know if a politician is lying? They are talking.

It's going to take a whole lot more than people talking on an internet forum to make things change.... How many are actually WILLING and will FOLLOW through to act on anything?

NO - We live under an Economic Dictatorship

The problem I have with voting in the Presidential election is the Electoral College System. The possibility of members not voting the popular will is one of many ways this system can be abused.

One Person,One Vote should be the American way.

And why are elections held on Tuesdays?

I bet if elections were held on Saturday or Sunday voter turn out would increase a great deal.

Rigged? Not sure. Manipulated? Absolutely.

Are there free elections in the USA?: - In a word, no. Here's how it is: Someone like David Rockefeller decides who he wants to be President, and that's who is President. - That person, for the last 50 years. has had 2 jobs they must not fail in: 1) Sell globalization. 2) Sell whatever the next decided war is. That's it. Presidents are just talking-head salesmen for the powers that be. They are told what to do and say. They are Owned. They are tools.

Do people have a right to free elections, when it comes to electing the candidate? I mean legally, seen as anybody can run as an indipendent, are the preeliminaries part of the process to elect the president, or can you fix the election any way you want, legally? Not the presidential election, the election to elect the candidate within the party.
