Besides, only 25% of colonials supported the American Revolution... and that's all it took to break free from Britain. The fact is, the majority of people are always kind of dumb, and that's one of the reasons the founding fathers created the electoral college, and the reason we are a constitutional republic and not a democracy. There's good reason to fear mob-rule.

"There's good reason to fear mob-rule."

Hey, I agree with you. But look what happened with ignorance and big city voter fraud by the Democrats in the last election. You saw the county by county map. Any wise person would see G.W. was the real choice of Americans, but inner city theft of votes, people reliant on big government, etc. made the last election way too close. When Hillary runs (and she will) it will be worse, and I fear she will win......just because of these two things ...the evil and direction of her sycophant lamestreamers in the media and the ignorance and government needs of the fools who have come out of our schools for the past 35 years!

25%....what are you expecting this time.....a physical uprising???? I'm talking about votes and public opinion. You couldn't get 10% of our lazy people to rise up about anything these days! Votes and voter fraud and ignorance and the lieing PRESS....that's the story. What does 25% in Colonial time have to do with anything. Klamath Falls was cool, but that's about it. Rise up people, they're thinking of closing your local movie rental store!

One more thing. You are so right about mob rule, the majority, and the electoral college. But let us not forget that some "majorities" still (regrettably) matter in this Republic. For instance: During the 2000 Presidential election....... In states such as PA. and Michigan, and a few more Gore "won" the electoral votes from these states. How!! Simple. Even though he lost the overwhelming majority of the counties and precincts in these states, he "won" the states by "getting" a "majority" of the "votes" in precincts of the big inner cities (Democrat Fraud Machines). So those apparent "majorites" in those few area allowed Gore to "win" states that any intelligent person would know he really lost. So, these "majorities" matter in our Republic. So, to sum it up, the mob and fraud nearly stole the last election, and they'll do it again......because most Americans are idiots and don't know the problem or just don't care! Pathetic!
