The current electoral system is designed to produce the least electable Republicans for the D’Rats to beat in our free and fair elections…

Our problem isn’t the electoral college, it’s the open primaries the Republicans allow. The party heads can’t get their guy nominated without an open primary process. They depend on the dems for help!

What does the electoral college have to do with it??
It’s the open primaries (along with a few other things) that are destroying the two party system, not the electoral college.

@ Tanker:
Since when does electoral system == electoral college???
I didn’t get the memo on that one….

Quite true! We here in Arizona would not be stuck with McSlime if the Republicans would allow a decent Candidate to run against him. Even then more DEMOCRAPS vote for him than Republicans!

BTW, Arizona has closed Primaries so the Establishment just makes sure any challenger to McSlime is worse than fucking useless!

Sorry, this has already been noted on the back thread.

But you still let Independents vote in your primaries. I would tell the Independents to join a party or shut the F**k up, it’s not their party.
Minnesota also has a big problem with really bad State GOPee candidates. The caucus system is lots worse then the open primaries.
Da_Beerfreak wrote:
You are incorrect Sir! Independents may not vote in either Primary, contrary to some info out on the Web. Last two cycles either the Wife or I have been Poll Watchers for the Republican party! Now Independents have used the switch Registration trick to vote but, in this upcoming cycle you cannot change Registration within 100 days of the Primary. Forces the assholes to choose which is more important to them before it becomes apparent!

The reason the troops are getting screwed in this deal is because the Democrats set it up that way.
Of course, they’re probably sending out similar tweets about every other favored constituency group with a different picture. The only people they think should “bear” any “burden” are “the rich.”

sec def doenst make policy. the president does. sec def carries out the executive wished of the president. if he does not, he is fired.
sec def is a conduit by which executive policy is carried out. so i’m not all in a huff about this.
I hate self absorbed me freaks, a natural path for politicians…so I hate politicians for the most part, there was an honest politician spotted a couple years ago down around Mobile, but it was never actually confirmed…so I got all these liars, cheats, these fancy cameos humping my leg, millionaires begging for money so if elected they become even richer…I’m trying to roll a joint but some voice is yelling for me to rescue the babies starving down the street and I have to check a box before I come to my senses…I just fucking hate what the feds have to this country, to me and all you brothers and sisters…I am heavily burdened with what will happen to my kids, my children, my babies will suffer and I tell you that pisses me off big time

so, lemme get this straight, if 0 nominated someone at sec def who said nice things about israel and bad things about iran yet still carried out the orders of the pres and his policies, how would the end result be different?

Arguably, though, a rejection of Hagel might have served as a shot across the administration’s bow.

Are they anti-Semites? Paul’s vote for confirmation was meaningless. He voted against closure and changed to yes when he was going to get confirmed anyway. If he’s an anti-Semite, then so are these Republicans I listed above.
