>> Ohio was using it 20 years ago to take property around the mall so they could spread the mall area out
 
@WJo: 20 years is NEW.
Will we be the people republic of the united states in another 20 years?
 
@FoFa:   Unfortunately, we are already more of a republic than a democracy.  I understood the need for an Electoral College back when many people couldn't read and communication was limited.  However, every US citizen now has the ability to learn about presidential candidates, yet the popular vote of the citizens still does not elect the president, the Electoral College does.
 

You know the EC didn't have anything to do with how many people could read or write. (not that those who can read and write now are able to make cogent decisions.) The EC was made to ensure smaller states with lower populations had say in the election.
@Retired_Engineer:
 
@SeeVee:  We could argue over the original reasons for the EC, but my primary point is that the EC is no longer needed and should be eliminated.

Obama decides to not enforce immigration laws, Obama's AG and Fast and Furious - lying to Congress, invoking exec privilege so as not to share documents - Obamacare raising health insurance costs and forcing Americans to buy insurance - the conclusion is ... Bush expanded government too much and wasn't honest.Bush is no longer President. The Conservative theme this election cycle has been:1. Stop Obama at one term.2.  Hold the Republican (Romney's) feet to the fire as far as cutting spending, lowering taxes, and not only stopping the government expansion but shrinking government. 4951

What I find odd--and I hope others did too--that Obama is toting the 'Dream Act' as a bright future for children of illegal immigrants...BUT isn't it odd that he chose to advocate this bill as he's getting to the wire in the presidential campaign? 4951

@Horsemagic:   I don't find it odd at all.  It's a typical political move.  I'm afraid that we'll be seeing more such actions (from both sides) before November.

"I

November."Obama ignoring a law and his duty as President is proof ... the Repulicans will make political moves in the upcoming election.  Every time a liberal does something wrong or at least shady, someone chimes in it's proof "both sides" do it.The reality is this indicates Obama is worried, and he can't depend on the Hispanic vote like he could in 2008.  It's a sign of his weakness. 4951

It seems to me there is more "watch the right hand here" while the left is doing weird things.And the news media seems to be focusing on that right hand. 4951

I can't sleep while the world is spinning, or while listening to Billy Joel. 4951
