I'm not guessing, cause I know dang well the answer is no. Because you've asked them, because you've asked them as part of a vetting process, or...? You've yet to tell me at what point you interview/vet your associates. Thus far you've only provided...  [Read More]

Have you even read what people have posted? 1 or 2 associations, okay, 3 or 4 cause for concern, at least 10-20 and they interconnect is downright scary. And Obama ranks in the least 10-20. So should I assume that you typically ask your associates i...  [Read More]

This is so much of a non-issue, I think it's utterly ridiculous that we still consider it a viable topic for debate. To assume that Obama is somehow guilty of terrorism, or of planning some sort of terrorist attack on America, simply because he knows...  [Read More]

Based on a quick scan of the page, the info appears mostly accurate. It's important to note that while Wicca is part of Neo-Paganism, Neo-Paganism is not exclusively Wiccan. In other words, the terms are not necessarily interchangeable....  [Read More]

Cynthia Tucker: That would likely be the case if the administration shows itself to be competent. I found her use of adjectives interesting. Did Bush lower the bar so far that competence is all that's required or is the bar for Obama set so high that...  [Read More]

Yes, it does represent the majority of Texans, though it ignores the rest. But that's the inherent flip-side of any majority rule situation. Even if we went to a straight popular vote election, up to 40.9% of the country will have "their will&qu...  [Read More]

I guess I don't follow how that works. Did some body other than the citizens of Texas give McCain a plurality of the votes in Texas? If the majority of Texans voted for McCain, then it would seem that the will of majority of Texans was represented....  [Read More]

Neither was I. And neither was I in the 2004 election. Majority rule is majority rule regardless of how you choose to divvy up the votes. There will always be at least one group that does not get the candidate they want in office....  [Read More]

There's a balancing effect here, and no, I don't believe in complete majority rule, just because 51% of the people want something does not mean it's a good thing to have.Another great argument against election by popular vote....  [Read More]

There are 538 of them and you feel better losing by 1 point than 4. I really think you should stop while you're ahead. EDIT: btw, ET Warrior and I made (what I feel are) some sound arguments against changing the current system way back in post 45 a...  [Read More]
