October 28, 200421 yr i just dont f***ing understand how one person could vote for bush, let alone that many eek
October 28, 200421 yr i just dont f***ing understand how one person could vote for bush, let alone that many eek and there's a ton of people that are wondering the same thing about Kerry voters
October 28, 200421 yr I'm wondering about both parties....How can you like either of these guys? personally i'm pulling for the giant douche
October 28, 200421 yr the way i look at it is this: a. vote for some dumb ass dick head named bush who i know is a f***ing moron that will mess up our country and the world even more then he has over these last 4 years. or b. give someone else a chance to prove that the political system in america needs to be changed because it only produces dumb ass dick heads who f*** up the world personally, i think its about time for americans to follow what the decloration of independace says and rise up against our government because it isnt cuttin it anymore
October 28, 200421 yr I've spent the last week volunteering after work everyday... I had to take today off, after I missed the game last night, and dozed off at the wheel on my way home last night. (thank god for rumble strips) I slept until 3:30pm today. I don't know if I'll voluteer again tomorrow, but I know I'm headed to Iowa for the weekend. My vote in Illinois doesn't make a difference, but I'm gonna make sure my voice is heard another way. /the electoral college is bulls***.
October 28, 200421 yr personally i'm pulling for the giant douche Dude, its all about the turd sandwich.

A lot of states would be forgotten if they're electoral college votes didn't make a difference. Without the electoral college candidates would be spending a lot of time in big states. Honestly, I don't know what the solution is... I do know however that on Nov. 2nd I will be pulling for Kerry.

Without the electoral college candidates would be spending a lot of time in big states. Honestly, I don't know what the solution is... I do know however that on Nov. 2nd I will be pulling for Kerry. Seriously, do you think any of these guys would be in Wisconson, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico at this stage of the election, if it were just about the popular vote? No way.
October 29, 200421 yr I've often stated that the best way to do this is to end the "Winner take all" system of counting electoral votes and make it so that the winner of a congressional district gets that EV and the overall statewide winner gets the 2 EV's for the senators. That forces the contenders to compete for much more of the country rather than ignoring "Red" and "Blue" states and focusing on a handful of swing states.
October 29, 200421 yr Author Seriously, do you think any of these guys would be in Wisconson, Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico at this stage of the election, if it were just about the popular vote? No way. at the same point, dont you think the citizens of Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico, etc are tired of seeing these guys every damn week? At the same point, many small states are being ignored too. Like Nebraska or Wyoming or Connecticut or Delaware.
October 29, 200421 yr at the same point, dont you think the citizens of Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico, etc are tired of seeing these guys every damn week? At the same point, many small states are being ignored too. Like Nebraska or Wyoming or Connecticut or Delaware. Who knows. But it means the process is working. If it were just popular vote you would only see the canditates in populous states.
October 29, 200421 yr Who knows. But it means the process is working. If it were just popular vote you would only see the canditates in populous states. Nope...populous cities!
October 29, 200421 yr Nope...populous cities! More specifically... Yes you are dead on right. Why would you waste your time in Michigan City IN where could could only affect 30,000 people, when you could go to Chicago and hit 3 million?
October 29, 200421 yr Who knows. But it means the process is working. If it were just popular vote you would only see the canditates in populous states. Yeah but as it is, Iowa and NH are among the most powerful states in the union, despite only having about 4M(roughly 1.35%) in population combined, they carry 11 Electoral votes (roughly 2%), and are both among the most influential in the primary process. Dean was toast, by Iowa, and that was more than a month before they got anywhere near Illinois. Isn't that's the small states deciding more than the large ones? Oh and for once I agree with Nuke, I've advocated exactly the same plan as his for a while now.
October 30, 200421 yr personally i'm pulling for the giant douche Now we both know you cant vote for both of them!!!!
