Insanity.WTF is wrong with Fred?
In addition to the damage done by the marxist, this would be the final nail in the coffin.
Fred Thompson..and here I was ready to welcome him as a president. RETIRE you old geezer; preferrably to a country that does have mob rule.
Fred Thompson: Mr. “States Rights”.
(Unless it’s critical for the Republic.)
No! Direct popular vote will open the floodgates of massive voter fraud. At least the electoral college limits the incentive to continue stuffing Chicago, Baltimore, and NYC ballot boxes once the Dem has won that state. With this scheme, we can expect 100% turnout of living and dead voters in every corrupt district and long past the level of current Dem fraud. This must be stopped, and it’s a reason to go beyond the ballot box and peaceful protest in resisting the ruling class tyrants. The Constitution is not something to be worked around with a sleazy scheme.
I can only say that I disagree with those that wish to fix something that ain’t broken.
Destruction of the electoral college is the institution of mass rule-——a form of “pure” democracy which destroyed ancient Greece and allows for tyranny of the masses. Here’s what will happen: a few large cities will forever govern this country. The Electoral College minimizes the effects of voter fraud now rampant in most major cities, most notoriously Chicago. Electoral voting contains the effects of regional voter fraud. Those advocating for its eradication are either ignorant or democrats.
Fred Thompson should take up selling Viagra or reverse mortgages or something. He sure flopped as a presidential wannabe.
This is nullification and it is inherently unconstitutional.
This is the world’s largest incentive for inner city vote fraud which is plenty bad already.
FRed, if this is what you are thinking, you’re nuts!
Time to hang it up. Go take some Viagra and bang that young wife of yours and be happy.
Fred needs to blow his nose, clear his head me thinks.
NO! The same reasoning applies now that applied in Philadelphia in 1776. Large cities would carry everything, always. Small states would always be dragged along by the nose. Mob rule. It’s bad enough in California with that already — the libs load the big cities to the gills, all the people who work for a living do not have the votes to equal that.
Now this. If the Electoral College is abolished, then why not get rid of the whole “states” idea altogether? Just call them provinces of the federal government.
“Absolute proof the Oligarchy is having a hissy fit about the prospects of Flyover Country electing their president!!!!”
Indicates to me that the Oligarchy can only “manufacture” votes in the inner cities of the big states.
Okay, what lobbyist group is “lobbbying” Fred Thompson and others to proclaim this particular view?? (Follow the money).
If we want the US to be like Venezuela and Hugo Chavez, ok....vote me in as dictator for life and I will give you free stuff..., wait that’s almost what we’ve got now!
So this compact among states to circumvent the Constitution is in and of itself UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
He was good as Knox Pooley.
Except for 2 states [ME and NE], its winner-take-all in each state [which kinda sucks for those districts that DO NOT vote for that candidate].
NOW, they want to change a state’s electoral votes if the National Popular Vote [NPV] goes to the other candidate [even if that candidate wins with LESS than 50% of the NPV].
The FAIREST method would be to allocate the electoral vote of a district within a state to the WINNER of that district. The remaining 2 electoral votes would go to the overall winner of the STATE’S Popular Vote [SPV].
Thats the way it works in ME and NE ...
