The bible talks about him, then so do era philosophers and historians like Josephus, Pliney, and Tactius. You talk about Ducati's, guns, and big boat ownership. But show no real evidence. Hmmm myths do die hard, eh Obviously you missed the point. Warren's parents told her repeatedly about her native American ancestry. She believed her parents. You believed your parents about Jesus, and also you believed the new testament and others. No real evidence, though, eh? If I were interested in the comments/opinions of the participants here, I'd post photos. I post those elsewhere. For one as well versed in deceit as yourself, I find it odd that you actually believe Warren's story. I believe her parents told her that story. Tim and others here believe in the story of jesus. |

It is ironic that the big cities, that rank so badly in every measure of the human endeavor, want to drag the rest of the country down to their level and call it "progressive". |

I agree it is rigged but that will never change unless the system is challenged, Twenty years ago, the odds would have been very high that a black or a woman would never get the nomination. You can challenge the system all you want, but unless and until the EC is trashed, nothing much will happen, other than, perhaps throwing a future election into the U.S. House, which should **** off voters big time. It is really only "big state" (population) people who want to abolish the EC. Smaller states see it as their only way to have a voice. If you think the EC is biased against the big states, look at the procedure if this gets to the house. There are 50 votes (maybe 51 with the 23d amendment) and each "state" gets one. DC will not swing that vote, even if they do allow them in but it could easily be argued, their delegation does not get to vote in the house so they don't get to vote in the selection process. I'm not interested in bias, as you describe it, I'm interested in seeing the candidate with the most votes win. I am not a favor of states' rights. You should have paid more attention in school. The federal government was never supposed to be all empowered. The President was the states choice. How they chose their candidate was up to the state legislatures. D'oh. I know how and why our "system" is structured in the EC. How we elect a POTUS has changed over the centuries, and it can change again. Stick to falling down and breaking bones, doofus...it's your area of expertise. How we elect the President has not changed. How the Electors are chosen has, but that is a states right. Your education does not seem to have helped your critical thinking. Read the 12th amendment and get back to us. The duties and procedures of the EC were changed. |

Right, because everyone should live in backwater Florida. So you consider the increase in Chicago's murder rate 'progression'? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...2016/82507210/ They're apparently progressing fairly rapidly. |

Still obsessed with Chicago, eh? It's still one of my favorite cities, along with New York, Boston, Miami, and San Francisco. You're such a pussy, I'm sure I'll never encounter you there...you're more comfy with your redneck buds at the blown-out grass "festivals." |

How electors are selected did not change and there is still nothing that forces the electors to vote for the person they were supposed to. Plenty of elections have at least one rogue elector. Most recently was 2004 where one idiot from Minnesota voted for Edwards as president and vice president. In 1988 a West Virginia democrat voted for Bentsen for president and Dukakis for VP. In 76 Reagan got a vote and he wasn't even running. |

The 12th defines how the election goes if not a majority of the votes by the electors is not reached. Otherwise, has not changed how electors are chosen, or their duties. |
