Right.. so then the entire US would be like San Fransico. And Queer-Eye would draw more people than the superbowl.

Hopefully having Bush falsely placed in power by his brother's actions in Florida ( I have read multiple sources on this and have eliminated bias. The lists of 'felons' used in the Florida election was so horribly fabricated they couldn't even get the dates right)

You need to stop looking at the ultra-left news. Look, Bush didnt steal the election. He won florida, not immediately, but after the out-of-state votes were counted (90-some% military, and guess what, the military didnt like Gore).

This will require elimination of the electoral college

Look, if you actually READ the literature at the time you will realize the reason for the electoral college. It was NOT because they felt the people were dumb, it was to keep state rights. Look, if we took out the electoral college 3 states could decide the entire election (New York, California, Texas). If these 3 states voted strongly for one opponent what difference would the votes of New Mexico matter? Exactly, they wouldnt. The electoral college sits there because at the time of the Constitution the North was extreamly powerful population wise and the South didnt want their say to fall upon deaf ears (If you could win by only a few Northern states why even go or listen to the south?).
Hell, Clinton failed to win the majority of the votes in EITHER election, but you dont hear the conservatives yelling he stole the election. If you want the Constitution changed vote for Senator/Congressman in your district who wishes to change it, but dont close your ears and yell out false claims.

Fair enough, but what have you had to sacrifice? Have the cops come over to your house because you said some anti-Bush things? Have you been imprisoned for visiting an anti-Bush website? No? Ok then dont make claims to that.
