    I agree with you. We need to keep the electoral college. States like mine have a voice.

    She may not have been eligible for the draft, but some of us were. Now, I do not agree with a draft in times of peace. Nor do I agree with a draft when we decide to enter a war we do not intend to win, or a war we had no business fighting in the first place.

    For example, if we are going to fight a war, we fight to win, quickly, decisivlely, and exit. Fighting this type of war requires enough active duty men to execute the war. I believe we cqn see this from the mistake of using reserves to the max in Iraq.

    One observation, I find that most who rant most against the foundations of our nation never lifted one finger to serve this country, nor have a clue as to what the price of freedom is.

    If you want to know what it is like to experience the price of freedom, talk to Carpro. He is one of the few people whose opinion I totally respect in this area.

    Agreed. The electoral college's disappearance would be a nightmare.

    He repeatedly said taxation without representation. We have a representative government whether you like who was elected or not. I think the only ones who can claim that is DC.

    The electoral college is going nowhere.

    A constitutional amendment would be required and it will never get done.
