Democracy or constitutional republic?

The electoral college is in the news again.  Some presidential candidates are calling for the Constitution to be amended to get rid of it.  A growing number of states are taking steps to require the distribution of their electoral votes be determined by the national popular vote, which would amount to the same thing.

I just mention it because conversations about this topic frequently lead to someone proclaiming that we have a constitutional republic, and not a democracy, as if that’s a meaningful distinction.

NH Democrats Want To Make Your Vote for President Meaningless

Colorado just passed a law to give away its sovereignty. By signing on with the national popular vote scam highly urban areas controlled by liberals can decide who Colorado chooses for President. Colorado is mostly rural. If New Hampshire were to pass such a bill, we’d be a colony of New York. With a population of … Read more

Why Do “Democrats” Hate New Hampshire?

The New Hampshire Democrat Party leadership is top-loaded with Clinton lackeys. And even if that were not the case, the party on the Left shares a common interest. Making New Hampshire politically meaningless. Stripping her of any significance. Removing any reason whatsoever for any national candidate to ever set foot within our borders again. How? … Read more

GrokTV – Chris Christie dances a verbal jig over the Politico reporters word on This Week

I watch the Sunday shows (now that I have DVR capability back) so you don’t have to. I’ll tell you, Chris Christie (former NJ Governor and former Prez wannabe), was absolutely beside himself (no small order, that) and full of glee after the words of Politico’s Rachel Baid’s description of what would happen if the Democrats DO take over the House (as their dreams of taking over the Senate seemingly have set sail).  First, her words:

His gleeful response with advice to the GOP:

NH Democrats Laser-Like Focus on Jobs.?…wait…What About That Darn Electoral College Thing First

Democrat Charles Weed has something more important for New Hampshire than that “focus on the  jobs and the economy” narrative they ran on.  It’s called HB 148, and it would take New Hampshire’s votes for president and make them completely meaningless. HB148 abandons our ability to apportion our state electors for president and lumps our … Read more

Barack Obama, Ben Ghazi, and Warren Wimmen Walk into a Bar…

Alternate title:  Jobs report – 65 million can’t find work, unemployment effectively zero. Alrernate alternate title:  If Barack Obama falls in the electroal forrest and the Main Stream Media doesn’t report it, did it really happen? Sigh. Tuesday can’t come soon enough.  That will not, however, be the end of it.  While Romney will very … Read more

Univ Of Colorado Professors….Almost Agree With Me

Back on September 22nd I posted an article  about two Professors from the University of Colorado who have a model for determining who will win the White House.  They’ve been right in every Presidential election for the past 30 years.   At that time they predicted Romney 320 to Obama 218. I said more like, Romney … Read more

My Guess Was Romney With Around 340 Electoral Votes

Two Professors from the University of Colorado have a model for determining who will win the White House.  They’ve been right every year since 1980.  In 2012 they predict that Mitt Romney will win 320 Electoral votes to Barack Obama’s 218. Romney, it concluded, will win every state currently considered by pollsters to be a … Read more
