The electoral college is a mockery of democracy. A half-hearted replica of real elections by the people and a system that makes a joke out of voting.

Most people are idiots and would sacrifice democracy and freedoms for populist tyrants. YOU PROVE MY POINT! THIS IS PARTIALLY HOW BUSH WAS ELECTED, (stir in some judicial corruption) and not an argument for keeping it but for getting rid of it completely.

How wrong our forefathers were at many things! Its important to remember that they were functioning in very different times, and the electoral college, a relic of that bygone time, should be abolished.

I'm thankful to the forefathers for many things, but the electoral college, still hanging around in 2007, isn't one of them.
