Eliminating the Electoral College: A Bad Idea

Let us remember, we are the United STATES of America.  The founders wanted most of our government handled at the state level, not the Federal.  This is why the Constitution enumerates what powers are granted to the Federal government.  All other power is left with the states.

The election of a representative to lead the Executive branch (i.e., the President) must be someone selected by the united STATES, not simply by the majority of Americans.  If the majority of voters selects the President then it is very possible for an individual to win the highly metropolitan areas but not the majority of the STATES.  Our leader would not even have the support of the majority of states.  That is not what a representative government should desire.

The Electoral College imbeds the population of the entire country with the assurance of smaller states having a say in electing the leader of ALL STATES.  Yes, sometimes that leader will not win the most votes.  But we are a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.

Keep the college!

Hillary supporters

I want to ask those of you who support Hillary Clinton one question:  WHY?

Can you truly believe anything this woman says?  Do you really believe she is going to do all that she has promised to do?  If you answered "Yes" then I ask again, "Why do you believe her?"

Actually, HOW can you believe her?  She has lied and lied and lied some more.  As the letters continue to surface, her entire campaign, her entire life is a lie.

Those of you are support Hillary and are followers of Christ, remember who the father of lies is.  One who is a liar by nature has learned that skill from their "father".

Enough said.  Save our country and vote for someone other than Hillary Clinton.
