Good point.
I live in MO, a 'red' state. I hate Obama...but really didn't want to vite for Romney. Knowing that MO would be 70% red, and therefore casting our electoral votes for Romney, I voted for Gary Johnson. Then, Romney won MO, took the popular vote...but lost the election. I'm stunned. I'm not going to work today, not going to school, either. **** this shit.

Your tantrum notwithstanding. Hell, you don't even believe in judicial review and marbury v. Madison, so what important tasks are you claiming make it stronger?

I think the Teamsters and the Unions bought the states Obama needed to win. It sure looks that way. He's been a terrible President for 4 years, and half of the American public are so stupid and brainwashed that they went ahead and elected him again. That's why to even bitch about it. We're ****ed.

It just goes to show you that freaking over Citizen's United was wasted energy.

It isn't a stawman argument. It was an attempt to get you to be more specific in your claim. However it is the most democratic selection of representation that got the purse control. I believe that is Madison's argument. And this is in relation to the Congress and the Senate process is it not.

It feels better than thinking that the American Public is gullible enough to be duped into actually re-electing that farce of a President.
