Who is Pat Buchanon? I'm voting for Drew Thompson for pres. Providing he doesn't have a shmuck for a running mate. (ie Dan Quale or Al Gore)

He's the guy a bunch of confused voters in Florida voted for instead of Al Gore in 2000. Part of the "Haning Chads" incident.

Democrat, Republican, different monkey with the same mask. The lines between the two have been smeared to a point that the line is no longer recognizable.
Bront, i would have checked the 'independant nominee' chad if it were an option...

I thought it was a 3 party system. I'm totally voting for the Hegemony candidate.

......What does it matter? In the state of illinois, if 95% of the state votes one way, and cook county votes the other, guess who gets all of the electoral votes? Not the ppl who live outside of chicago. The electoral college is broken. If you don't believe me, look at the past two or 3 elections, by red/blue, broken down by county. (I'd focus on Illinois, cause thats our topic, and stuff..)
And, for there only being two parties, well, thats because the people in power only want us to vote for one of the two guys. It would be difficult to groom a third ape.
Lets say that 10% of ppl fed up with dems and reps vote independant. Enough to make one of the two (the loser) mad, at the votes that were 'lost'. Next election, 15% of ppl vote indy. That is going to make the guys(ahem..people) in power start to notice. When it reaches20% or so, for people that traditionally don't have power in the government, things will start to be restructured. And that is my hope. You have the same fat old bald white guys, who work less than 100 DAYS A YEAR, making all the decisions for the rest of us (like, all in favor of giving ourselves a raise, say aye..), well, they dont represent me. I didn't vote for them. And i am tired of my hard earned money being taxed even higher and higher. So my money can be funneled into 'special intrest groups', (whom, btw, i wouldn't support a SINGLE one of 'em were it my choice), therefore having a loyal constituate base to get re-elected.

Dude, it's a Simpson's reference. :P
As for the Electoral college, I'll agree with that, that it does need to be broken up more. However, you're Illinois example isn't a good one, since half the population lives on 5% of the land, so their vote is just as valid as anyone elses.

Wowzer.
Hey, Chad, would you do me a favor? Find the introduction thread. Cause if i am a chick, i have some serious identity problems. And i would make a 'muy fea' girl.
And, I haven't had a problem separating fiction from non-fiction. Lately. At least, that is what my therapist has told me. Cause 1984 was given the wrong title. It should have been 2014. Mind crimes will be valid in a few years. And stuff.

Don't worry Drew, your nose isn't big enough since the surgery for you to be confused with a Drew-ish princess anymore. :P

What will end up happening is I will vote for the Democrat. If he's/she's not Kucinich I will be taking Pepmol Bismol right after voting.

Dennis is a Democratic Congressman from Cincinnati. He doesn't take corporate money so he's not owned by anyone. That is why you have never heard of him. The press does not take him seriously because he will not play ball with their bosses (i.e. General Electric, Disney, News Corporation, etc.).

OK, I know that I am probably going to regret this but....
Chad, it does not matter how good of a shot you are if you don't have any ammo left.
Bobcat Goldswaith or Gallagher for Pres all the way!!! Unless Snoopy
finally
decides to run then I am tossing my vote in with the dog who sleeps on top of the peak of the roof on his dog house.
Or Kermit if he finally finds that loophole that will allow a frog into the white house. It cannot be that hard with all the lame ducks we have had over the years...
