You're missing the main point. Over 80% of Americans live in and around cities, so those folks should count for 80% when voting.

So I AM right. You DO believe that half a dozen cities should control the outcome of all presidential elections in this country. I think that you are the one who is missing the point here. Quite frankly, I am not surprised. After all, you live in one of those big cities and you are on the political left. So this 80% of the population nonsense suits your narrative, LOL!!!!

Actually, the founding fathers did not want to have the people vote in presidential elections. They wanted the state legislatures to pick the president.

ISTR you saying you'd gone to Tea Party events. What do you think that was other than objecting to the administration?

Taxed
Enough
Already

How is that objecting to the administration? It is objecting to policy. If you would like to pay more taxes, I suggest that you send a big fat check to the IRS. I am sure that they will cash it and waste it just like they have much of the tax money that you have already given to them. Somehow I do not believe that you are going to do that.

Anyway, as I also said earlier, I never saw a Tea Party rally get violent and turn into a riot. The only people who think that violent demonstrations are free speech are those on the left.
