You are right, it is more of a mess today than it was Monday! It might go to convention and then all hell would break loose…

Maybe Howard Dean could give a yeeeeeaaarrrrggggghhhh for the crown though!

If the wealthy are expected pay more while the poor receive more in benefits than they should have more of a say in how the system runs.

Remember, the Constitution does not give us the right to vote. It states that electors will meet in their respective states. The founders did not give people the right to vote, just electors and there is no mention as to how they are selected.

If people are expected to do more than other people (as in pay more in taxes) then those folks should have more of a say. I could agree that each of us should have an equal vote if each of us were treated equally in other aspects of how this country runs. America is based on capitalism and that principle says that shareholders get a greater say if they have more stake in the company.

As for a national election, proportion the votes like the Dems do (no winner take all) and have a national election. Then, no real state has an advantage because votes are proportioned by how much of a state is won.

I have no problem with early primaries, I just think they need to schedule randomly or cycle or something so that it’s not the same few states deciding year after year. The small states let the candidates slow down, meet with people, get face time and stuff, unlike with Super Tuesday where it was mostly TV campaigning and very short very frantic stumping in very select states…

A national primary would also screw over lessor candidates. In a national primary Hillary would probably have won in a landslide because of her name recognition that she rode on right up until Obama won Iowa and started to erode her national support. I think you’ll agree that people like Ron Paul get shafted enough already, and I don’t think this would help matters at all…

I don’t believe you’ve thought this higher tax pay means more votes thing. That’s perhaps one of the most un-American things I’ve ever heard you say, and if that needs explaining then you should re-evaluate a few things…

Once upon a time, feelings and private thoughts would be written in a diary, hidden in your bottom dresser drawer or better yet, under your mattress.

Slavery was taken for granted throughout Islamic history, as it was, of course, in the West as well up until relatively recent times. Yet while the European and Am…
