I don't imagine too many members of Congress from the smaller states would be too keen on altering the current system.

i tried that crap with Jesse Jackson and he bailed before the polls opened...then there was Ross Perot...he didn't need any help...but he bailed too...the voting is rigged. those who might be worth a damn are strongarmed out of the race...so, why bother.

Okay Mike, you've done your best. Rest now.

You gotta admire the persistence, the sheer determination, the ...

Sorry, the mission is flawed has been flawed and will never be complete. Dubyah said and I quote" Our troops will never be used for Nation Building" or if that doesnt gall you how about this one " I wont ever committ our troops without a clear plan for winning and bringing them home." Both stump speeches made before he was elected. He is a lyiing sack of crap from Texas.

The Neo Cons have strangled any common sense out of anyone that had it. Saddam never had the weapons, yet that idiot in the White House thinks we all belive he did. No one but Bush believes there were terrorists in Iraq before we "liberated it" No one supports him except for the Neo Cons. No one can legitmately connect Iraq to 911 no matter how hard Bush tries and he started trying that before he even ordered the invasion of Afganistan.

Look at the polls.

There are many people who like to gripe about stuff. Your vote is your voice. When you vote, you are voting for someone who best represents your views, or supposedly so. The popular vote is not worth much in presidential elections anyway. And the president is actually the least important to us re our daily lives. Unfortunately we as a society have been brainwashed into thinking that the presidential vote is the only vote that counts and forget everything else. Why do you think that the largest voter turnout is during the presidential election years? Even the off-even gubernatorial elections don't bring out as many voters to the polls as do the presidential elections, even though the governor actually most likely affects your life on a daily basis much more so than does the president. And I have seen Mayors get elected with just 53 votes... not 53 more votes than the other person... 53 votes for that one candidate in the odd-year elections! De facto, the ones who affect our daily lives mostly are the local and state elections, i.e. City and County elections, and the State House and Senate.

And, yes, though I agree that most politicians lie, cheat, steal, are scoundrels, so is Wally World, yet there are many who go shopping at Wally World regularly. I spoke with a distributor today who said it doesn't make sense that so many of the small businesses complain that Wally and his cousin Sam are putting them out of business and they are so bad and all, yet they go and buy their merchandise and supplies from Sam. Folks stagger to the polls and vote dry. They stop at the convenience store and spend $100 on lottery tickets yet they vote against gambling. They vote against sunday alcohol sales and then they head out to the private club after church for a beer.
