Still going after the Electoral College:
The state Legislature is poised to give final approval this week to a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote…
…Under the proposed law, all 12 of the state’s electoral votes would be awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally…
Which means that if Massachusetts votes to re-elect President Obama by a thumping majority in 2012, but the nation narrowly elects Sarah Palin, then Massachuetts’ votes will go to Palin. Can you imagine anything quite so stupid?
Of course you can. We’re dealing with liberals here.
This is just the long-running, liberal sore over Florida, 2000. Gore’s failure to steal Florida’s electoral votes while officially securing a larger number of popular votes nation-wide just burns liberals up. They can’t get over it – it didn’t come out the way they wanted, and its just not fair!
So, they are determined to fix the problem – take away the electoral college and make it so that the popular vote winner always gets in the White House. They are simply not thinking clearly on this – not realizing, that is, that they may be shooting themselves in the foot and denying themselves a victory at some future date. And, trust me on this, if it works out that Obama would have got 270 electoral votes but fell short in the total popular vote tally, they’ll be accusing Diebold of having hypnotized the people of Massachusetts in to going along with this clear effort on the part of the Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy to destroy Obama.
They do this sort of thing because they don’t think but, also, because they don’t like the United States of America. They hate our Constitutional rules – hate the way the Founders set up a system which makes it hard for a liberal government to just do whatever it pleases (to liberals, “freedom” means “the ability to get an abortion at will” while “constitution” means “validation for whatever we want to do today, even if we change our mind tomorrow”).
Some times I wonder – as a nation ages, does it just naturally get stuck with people who are too stupid to understand where they came from? People so purblind that they’ll cut their own throats in the name of a hair-brained ideology? It seems like it – seriously.
