The BIG day is at hand. VOTE!!!!

[adsm08]

Back in the day it was created, it made more sense. It helped smaller states have more weight, and was aimed to prevent a candidate from swaying the vote. Now that people can research a candidate easier, the latter seems more irrelevant. I believe it requires an amendment and support by 38 states of its ratification. It's been 8 years since I looked into it, so details might not be dead on. Adsm or DG would probably know for sure on the details of what we would need to ratify the electoral college.

EDIT..... wow, actually 12 years. It was the Bush/Gore election..

To the best of my knowledge you are correct. It would require the same process as any other constitutional amendment.

Looks like the Ole Miss students didn't take the election results to well.

By the way Jim I am pretty depressed about how this turned out. I was certainly hoping it went the other way.

Damn kool-aid drinkers dont know what the **** they just done did. Morons. Just bc he gives them money to not work, does not mean it's free. It comes from the "rich" and the "rich" these days seem to be the not so rich Middle class.

Maybe you're referring to rescinding that law.....which would take....

An act of God.


Until then..................Congratulations Mr. President

I am glad my wife was here to keep my ass in CHECK. I almost blew a gasket last night when they said Obama won. I wish people would gatehr facts because the color of ones skin does not qualify him to run a nation, or in Obamas case run it into the ground.

I have no problem with a black president, or any other minority being president as long as they're doing a good job. This one didn't do anything in the last 4-years to make me want to re-hire him. In fact, he spent so much of our money and got us in so much debt, I want to fire hm.

Well, here you go. I read this in another forum I'm a member of:

I wanted to congratulate you all but I see the mood is different here.

I do appreciate your taste in cars but I do totally not agree with your political views as stated above.

You may not agree with me and you may think "what does he know, cause he's not an American" but I can tell you that the entire world wanted Obama to be re-elected.

Under Bush your country was the laughing stock of the entire world. With Obama your country has shows that you actually can be a civilised country and with the current crisis the US actually has once again become the stable partner in the world. Here in Europe we can learn a thing or two from that. We are happy this will continue.

Everybody here agrees that Romney is just another Bush that wants to take America back to a wild wild west cowboys & indians country where "freedom" only counts if you're white, male and straight. Maybe you do like a country where the government butts out and everybody takes care of himself, but think that you too will get old and may become sick at one point: you would be happy with a decent care system.

If you are complaining about taxes or government regulations: I invite you to look at Europe. Here we pay $12 for a gallon of fuel and about 45% of my salary is going away as tax, also we pay 21% sales tax. So stop complaining. You should be proud to live in such a great country that takes up a leading role in the world as example for everybody, instead of becoming once again the introvert "we can do what we want" joke of the world. You are more important in the world than the question whether you can shoot a gun or not.

That's all I'm going to say about this, you are more than welcome to disagree.

And my congratulations on this victory.

Fawk Europe. I don't want to be a stable partner with Europe.

Good Morning Comrades!

He's also an idiot because BO wants us to be like Europe.

 

[Jim Oaks]

If I wanted to live in Europe, I'd live in Europe.

Mr. President, if you want to live in Europe, take Air Force 1 and go. You can even keep the plane. We'll buy a new one.
