Yeah. Those Germans are an aggressively stupid bunch. My extremely liberal history professor this semester told the class yesterday that while in Australia for the 2004 election (of course he voted Kerry) he was accosted by a group of Germans. They were all in a bar and were harassing him about our election and EV process. He said they actually said we had to change our electoral vote system to popular vote, and that since the US has so much influence in the world, THEY should have a say in who is elected. Even my liberal twit professor was appalled. There is a mental illness running rampant in this world today.

It doesn’t dawn on them that the reason we have so much influence in the world is exactly because our system is not like the European one.

Geesh

It also never dawned on them that even though it would make us more leftist, scrapping the Electoral College would make things more exclusive as only our big cities would be calling all of the shots.

My German wife is a devout Christian and can't stand Obama or Hillary.

I was amazed and delighted when, a few weeks ago, she commented on how liberals respond emotionally instead of thinking.

Well, not all are like that. My cousin-in-law, Angie, is German and thrilled about Sarah. She was really pumped up at our family reunion on the Saturday after Sarah was announced as VP. She was going around to all the people there with the newspaper picture and telling them they had to vote for her.
