Wow. This is the first issue that me and Drmiler have agreed on. *laugh* See, I told you I was going with the GOP on this one.

Dan Rather Should Quit and I Have No Faith Left in the UN in Politics PolMach Forums

So the news on NPR today was that Rather has admitted that they "can't verify the authenticity" of the documents used. He said CBS has made a "mistake." Shouldn't they have researched the athenticity of these documents better? Of course they should have. I don't like George Bush. But I don't give a flip what he did or didn't do in 1972 in the Guard. And to impugn the office of the President by publicising unverified documents -- well ther

Another point of criticism is that the electoral vote distribution is not proportional to the popular vote distribution because of the automatic two votes per state provision. If you contrast the number of electoral votes per person in California and Alaska, this point is clear. And yeah, sure, lying about a blow job fits MY definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors." As for your second paragraph, I'm not sure what that has to do with anyt

Stricter laws should be maintained so that Electors vote by the way of their state's popular vote I never said the system should be abolished. If you feel there need to be stricter laws to split the electoral votes along popular vote percentages, well, that's a way to perhaps fix what I consider to be

See therein lies the problem. Up until Gore lost in 2000 the system was fine with "everybody". Since 2000 now it's somehow in need of being fixed? No, that's not true. I wrote my first article against the Electoral College in 1992, after reading about the election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel

If Kerry wins, Bush supporters will say..."oh well, thats too bad, we're just gonna have to sit back, hope for the best, and try again in 2008." mm hmm That's why the right went after Clinton so hard in the 90's. Because they weren't upset a bit about losing the White House. Whitewater, "travelgate,"

If only 538 more Floridians had voted for Al Gore in 2000, we wouldn't be in Iraq. Well, I don't like "if only." But I do think it's important to remember that Gore won the overall popular vote yet still lost the election. Sure, it's not the first time that something like that has happened, but it's

Fire Hazard Bush Leaves Nuclear Plants at Risk by Anne-Marie Cusac On June 16, the commission charged with investigating the events of September 11 announced that Al Qaeda's early attack plans had included "unidentified nuclear power plants."

Neither is income tax for that matter. Actually, with the creation of the 16th ammendment, income taxes became constitutional. You might feel that it goes against what the founders and framers wanted, but because it is part of the constitution, it is, therefore, constitutional. You can't say "the cons

Reply to Price Gouging, Wetlands, and The Insanity of Thomas Sowell (aka Right Wing Nutjob) in Politics PolMach Forums

Republicans have done good things for the environment in the past -- it was Nixon who created the EPA. I think the current generation of Reagan/Bush Republicans have been rather soft on the enviroment -- but then again, I think Bill Clinton was too soft on enviromental policy, too. I'm probably considered to be to the far left on environmental issues -- I'd be a "Green" I suppose if I had to pick a party to register in (they don't make you pick one h

Yup, a whole lot of people screwed up on this one, Democrats and Republicans both. I won't say any of it's lies even without citations because I've read most of those quotes. The lefties get as hungry to beat up on folks as the righties do.
