"So you're telling me that the electoral college is there as a safeguard against the popular vote? In case the popular vote elects a the "wrong" candidate, the electoral college will be there to hold the "real" election and prevent certain disaster?
You're subtlely changing the subject and avoiding the issue. "Because the majority thinks so" is not a legitimate reason nor an argument for anything.
Regardless of how intelligent I may (or may not) be, I do think for myself and form my own opinions. I'll take that over siding with the masses because that's what they think ANYDAY."
yes, that is one of the reasons the electoral college was founded.
and i'm not trying to change anything. infact I thought the general consensus across the nation was that bush has been doing a horrible job, and I kinda expected a landside victory for kerry.
thats nice, i DO make my own decisions as well. however its the masses who, for the most part, decide the fate of this nation so deal w/ it.
