Virtual bump, Did you vote? Options

Since I did not allow replies to my poll, it fell off of the first page pretty quickly. To this point, the results are not surprising. They are reflective of what we are seeing from the legitimate polling organizations.

If you haven't voted, please do so.

Hi Thomas,

I knew someone would try to defend the electoral college. Thanks for stepping up. I also know it could only be based on geographical prejudice...the fear of how someone from somewhere else might vote. Is that the only way so called conservatives can win? I don't think so. Your assumption is that the "heartland" voters are somehow more moral or have a better way than someone else is preposterous. Come out with it. Why is your vote worth more or less than mine? Because of where we live? What does Gore not winning the state he came from have to do with anything? Who cares? A fair system is one in which everyone has there one vote counted. Anything else pre-supposses some built in bias that needs to be corrected. As I said before, small states are actually better represented already having a governor and two senators no matter how few people are in them. Being pencil-whipped before getting to the poles is pathetic. Your comments on judges are also interesting. When judges do something that conservatives don't like, they are labeled activists. I'm sorry things don't always go your way, they don't always go my way either. Our system is corrupted by money, special interests, and antuiquated election laws, to the point where a very small part of the population has almost all of the control over the laws written to cover us all. The really sad thing is the press, and their ass-kissing failure to cover anything but the mushy middle. I actually enjoy listening to conservatives like Pat Buchanan and Alan Keyes...two smart guys who I mostly disagree with, unfortunately Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky (look him up) get almost no air time what so ever, especially Noam Chomsky a real liberal who evidentally scares the press so much they can't cover him. I'm sure there are conservatives who are similarly kept out. The fear of other's opinions is the root of all evil. Time for real debate, not the crap that passes for it on your TV and mine. The two parties become more like each other all the time, which is a terrible diservice to the public. The republicans have been hi-jacked by war mongering "nation building" idealogs, and the democrats are a bunch of cowards who don't stand up for what they believe in...a recipe for the pathetic situation we are in now.
