Well, atleast the rest of the country's airspace can go back to normal,
after several months of roving 30nm TFRs. According to the AOPA Airspace
Alert I just got, President Moron

Yeah,, okay. Gracefully accept the things one cannot change :0). I do
want to point out (despite the political 'clap-trap' you will hear) that
the United States is a Republic and NOT a democracy - the president
(through concerns by our founding fathers that the general populace
wasn't
bright enough to make an informed vote ((they could still be right on
this
one grin)) and also a concern by the less populous states that they
would not have an adequate voice ((even though more populous states get
more electors - go figure)) is determined by the members of the
electoral
college, not by popular vote (which would make us a democracy).


Unless you know something most if us don't, they did not leave a
definitive
reason why the electoral vote system was put in place. There are a a few
reasons it could have been done.

I wonder if your opinion on that would be different if the last two
elections had gone the other way but with the same electoral/popular vote
margin...

I can't believe that the existing government (and by this I mean the huge
size of the federal government, not whom is in power) would be tolerated
by
the "founding fathers." I suspect they would be revoled by it and by the
idealogies of the two main parties - for example the governments
interference in our daily lives, the huge pillaging of paychecks, the
social
programs, the interference of poeple's choice to control their bodies,
"War
on drugs", gun control, etc.

Actually some of the founding fathers were for big government and having the
public play almost no part in government decisions.

Jefferson would have been a staunch libertarian.

.... and in true form, the disappointed have taken your olive branch and
tried to beat you with it.

Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true
majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years),

And the highest popular vote in history, surpassing even Reagan's the
second time around (that was the last time we had a president who got
more than 50 percent).

I hold no grudges. My daughter voted for the other guys, and she's
still welcome here. (She'd better be, since we have *her* daughters!)

80% in the case of The Bronx

Yes, we should all model our political opinions on those of the
Bronx.

Sigh.

And, next to the Bronx, we should take our political opinions from
students.

What little respect I might have had for you evaporated when I read this
post. The election is over, Kerry lost now get over it. Refering to the
president of the United States as President Moron show your total lack of
respect for the country we live in. If your so upset then get the hell
out.

Big deal. Atleast I capitalized "President Moron". Actually, I wasn't
all that excited about Kerry. I just can't stand having an idiot in the
White House.

Yes, but only because more people voted than ever before. The second
highest popular vote in history went to John Kerry.

The last time we had a president who got more than 50 percent was 1988,
George H. W. Bush.

Nope. GHW Bush got majority.

Alex -- Replace "nospam" with "mail" to reply by email. Checked infrequently.

Where, in this thread, have I said anything anti-Kerry?

It really doesn't matter whether it was in this thread or not.

Sure it does. If you're referring to my response to someone eviscerating
our president in another thread as being "anti-Kerry", well, that's your
problem.

I was -- and am -- ready to put the whole issue aside for another four
years -- but I'm not going to sit idly by while someone calls everyone who
voted for Bush "stupid"...
