... Ok? Screw that.

And yes, like Jeremy said. Bush wouldn't have been out president if the idiots in this country would've stepped up, and voted. But no.. voting's pointless.

But on the subject of voting... We REALLY need to get rid of these ridiculous electoral colleges. Voting should be as simple as this...

You go to the voting center. You walk up to a voting COMPUTER, not a piece of fuckin' paper. Make your vote. And then the vote, gets saved and sent to some voting headquarters, and then that place determines the pres based off who has more individual votes... not this, you get Minnesota, you get Cali, you get Florida crap...

1. Giuliani has never done anything good.
2. It's good to have a paper trail, but I agree that we should do away with the electoral college.
3. How is it naive to think that people with money have more rights? That sounds cynical to me.

Okay guys, for all you 'newbs' that think the presidential electoral system is fair. (electoral college? huh?>??)

The same 2 families have been running this country for 27 years!!!!! Longer than almost all of you have been alive!

The Bushes and the Clintons have been running the US since the 80s. Where has this country gone in that time? You guys really need to wake up. Hillary or McCain are going to be elected next year. What are they going to do for us? Tell me what are they going to do Positive in this country?

We had a surplus before Bush. The very last thing Bush did as president was VETO CHILD HEALTH CARE!!! Are you kidding me?? haha.

He didn't win the election................................................

Do you not know what an electoral college is?

And as far as I'm concerned, Billy bob was a very good president. That whole Monica crap was just a side bar fault that had nothing to do with Bill's ability to lead the country. We went in a positive direction with Clinton. The majority of our problems stem out after Bush took office, so shhh. It'd be 23 years, not 27. And so far, only 7 of those 23 have been led by complete idiots. I didn't much like Bush senior either.. but he was a lot better than his son.

Everyone be smart and vote democratic, no matter what. Even if it is Hillary. *shudders* I'd rather see Obama in office rather than her though...

People that don't vote are like pouty little kids. They want pizza, but the only thing available is broccoli or tomato soup, so they sit in their chair and pout and don't eat anything at all and go hungry, then complain about being hungry after their decision. Cry more please.

On an australian TV show a while back:

American: So you don't vote and you get fined?
Dave Hughes (Australian Comedian, in extremely nasal voice): You don't vote and you get George Bush!

Ownt.

That would be saying "I'm really just not interested." Then don't bitch later when you have a shitty president. It's your own fault. Don't bitch later when you're hungry. It's your own fault.
