Democrats Commit Political Suicide at Joint Session

[The Shredder]

I agree the election system needs to be overhauled... BUT... they weren't just 'voicing their concerns'.

As someone pointed out earlier... there are better ways to make their points and open discussion... NOT what they did.

To me, it's all about opportunity, and media attention. That is the way of the world these days. You need to do something that will give an issue publicity, be it good or bad. Because I think if they never did this, then the chance of really getting to the bottom of this issue would never happen.

Most people are smug with mediocrity and let's say they wanted to make some changes and have some discussion in May, I'm sure it wouldn't be covered and no one would even want to consider a debate on what reforms need to be made.

Interesting...

So... in 2000 the Democrats railed against the electoral college... because they felt a majority vote should decide.

Now... in 2004, the Democrats are railing against the idea of a majority vote and are relying on the electoral college to overturn the results.

Ummm... could you guys make up your minds please...

I don't think you understood me - I think the electoral college should be abolished. That has always been my stance, as it doesn't do anything to further democracry, but inhibits it and makes it a plutocracy.

Also, where did I say the results of the election should be overturned, hmmnn?

I have merely said the whole electoral system needs reform - I have never said anything different.

Note... I was not directing the comments at you... hence 'the Democrats'... not 'you'.

As for overhauling the electoral... I don't think it should be abolished... but a representational one put into place.

Oh, okay, sorry - you had quoted me in your post, so I assumed you were challenging me.

I decided to respect Ditto, and have corrected my title. I think I'm somewhere around the middle, but that's moonbat land as I see.

I am not entirely sure, but I think it has to do with political and world views - therefore, taking the Political Compass as a guide, I have mapped out where I thnk Moonbats reside.

The red dot is where Ditto resides on the Political Compass, and the blue area is the home to the Moonbats. At least that's what I speculate.

This is only an estimation.
