Stop saying undocumented immigrants vote. They don’t.

Participant[quote=FlyerInHi] . . . Stop saying undocumented immigrants vote. They don’t.[/quote]You are beyond delusional if you actually believe this.
Not only that, the “undocumented immigrant vote” doesn’t even account for all those “border crossers” (living in MX) who successfully voted in San Diego and Imperial County, CA on election day (or registered to vote early and used a friend/relative’s house situated in said counties to have their mail-in ballots sent to and later picked them up and mailed them in to the County Registrar).
This same scenario could have easily also played out in AZ, NM and TX but I am not familiar with the nuances of their voter registration systems.

Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]George Will is the classic small government conservative republican …[/quote]WAPO has been one of the most biased rags in existence this past election cycle . . . biased towards the Dems, that is.
It’s not even worth receiving for “free” to line one’s birdcage with.

Oh, Good L@rd! She’s another CA ultra-lib living in her (self-imposed) “bubble of the privileged.” She needs to crawl back to her quiet, bucolic Marin County enclave and enjoy her “retirement,” now that she’s finally out of the picture. She’s wasting her time on proposing this go-nowhere “legislation.” Doesn’t she have a bicycle, a library card and grandchildren to visit? I hear there is a fairly new (albeit hidden from the sunlight :=0) bike trail going all the way down to Muir Beach. Why isn’t she down there picking up whole seashells and live crabs in her “old age?”November 15, 2016 at 1:25 PM #803685bearishgurl
ParticipantI’m still waiting for that ancient hag, Nancy Pelosi, to finally throw in the towel, rouse up her collection of trenchcoats and decide to spend the rest of her waning nights (and days … as time permits) at Monaghan’s, where she develop a “consensus” among the other regular (opinionated) patrons and can walk to and from without being arrested for DUI :=0

ParticipantCan she take Sen. Chuckles Scummer, that authoritarian in a blue jacket, with her? Please?

Participant[quote=spdrun]Can she take Sen. Chuckles Scummer, that authoritarian in a blue jacket, with her? Please?[/quote]I sympathize with your request, spd. It appears that both of these clowns’ tenures have exceeded normal “term limits” (had there actually been any in place, lol) 3-4x over. What were the voters in CA and NY thinking?? Maybe the Trump administration will be able to fix that problem.

ParticipantI’m very thankful the folks that wrote the U.S. constitution had the brilliant foresight to create the electoral college & senate. So now a few high population cities/states on the coasts can’t control policy for this entire vast nation. Those guys were VERY smart.
I for one certainly do not want policy for the entire U.S to be controlled by the socialists and big Gov’t unions in CA and NY.

ParticipantSocialism is unfairly maligned. We’re all socialists, the only difference is what we want to spend the money on. Some people want to spend it on healthcare, education and infrastructure. Others want to spend it on mass deportations, mass incarceration, and homicide campaigns abroad. Pick your poison.
And what about high-population conservative states like TX or low-population liberal states like RI? Frankly, the Founders had no way of knowing the makeup of the US in 200+ years.
The historical reason was different: Blacks could vote in the North. The EC was created to weaken the free Black vote for President. The idea that the Founders planned for the 2016 election is the biggest load of horseshit I’ve heard in a long time.
Trump won due to a historical accident, plain and simple.

The founding fathers were also educated elites. I like Hamilton.

ParticipantIn addition to the electoral college and giving each state two senate seats (regardless of that states population), another related thing I’m in huge favor of is giving states more power to shape their own rules and policy vs. centralizing power in DC.
I love the freedom you have in this country to move to another state if you don’t like the politics, taxes, etc… in one state. I moved from Kalifornistan to WA State partially to escape the oppressive state income in CA (WA has NO state income tax). I LOVE that I have the freedom to do that. This allows people to “vote with their feet”. It would suck bad if Wash D.C. controlled individual states more then they do.
I don’t think you have this freedom in a lot of other countries, to move to other areas to lower you tax burden or get a political environment more to your liking. Socialists and a lot of Dem’s would love to take this freedom away and centralize power in DC.
