Tonto,
I agree with everything you say in particular about the losing parties getting a fair share of reps, but not sure about the popular vote especially from the GOP side. You have to factor in that the DEMS control NY, Cali, ILL, so they would receive massive amounts of popular votes from those states.

Blitz your neither.Your just blind to the fact that this man(BUSH) has ruined this country in 8 short years.
And like Obama says a vote for McCain is like a vote for Bush.Wake up and smell the coffee!!
Did I say anything about Bush? Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and lay off the Dem. talking points...
I simply do not see why every persons vote should count as just 1 vote, and we take the totals, and the person who receives the most votes is the winner.
There really isn't any logical reason to do this in any other manner. There is no argument, its common fucking sense. This has to go back to an archaic bullshit law that we brought over from Europe or some crap.
:mj07: :mj07:
dunno, that just made me laugh.
For what it's worth, this country was never designed to be a direct democracy, rather a representative democracy; and were neither brought over from Europe nor are they particularly archaic (although technically Roman/Greek influences are both archaic and European, but I don't think that is what you meant!)
There are plenty of arguments against simple majority-rule of all voters in the country, though the current format of the Presidential Election, might need some changing.
Interesting stuff.
That is what I meant, either greek or roman influenced or some old english shit (not the booze).
I did some research and I guess it makes sense that they wanted to have 3 parts
Senate - each state represented equally
House - each population represented equally
President - a hybrid of the 2 above
That makes sense.
But it still seems fishy. I would never vote if i lived in Cali cuz it never matterd by teh time they counted you votes.

For most people, elected local officials have a far greater effect on one's life than the president or those in the senate or house. For that reason alone it is worth it to still vote, regardless of your state.
Bottom line is they are both terrible candidates. I would be less worried about McCain with a Democratic Congress to check things. but Obama with a supermajority Congress will make the current economic problems look like a blip on the radar. It amazes me anybody can be so emotional about either of these guys or act as if one is somehow so superior than the other. McCain has Bush around his neck, while Obama is right there with do nothing good Pelosi and Reid.
Its 1992 all over again. In two years the Republicans will make huge gains in Congress.

We live in a very big country in a very big world. No one person really matters.
I would never bother getting out of bed if that viewpoint was taken to the extreme.
However,
I'd rather be one small part of the collective voice, than someone who just 'doesn't bother', because their impact is uncertain or debatable.
Well McCain Backers have made it that way.
If you take a loser look,they share the same believes of the GOP esp. on the war ,and which way is best to run up the deficet.
