If you live in ANY of the former member-states of the Confederacy, or Wyoming, or Utah, or Montana, and you plan on voting for a Barack Obama, Bob Barr, or Cynthia McKinney, let me save you a little bit of gas money -- STAY HOME. Your vote doesn't count. It means NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Its worthless for you.
If you live in any state on the east coast north of Virginia, or if you live anywhere on the West Coast, and you intend to vote for McCain, Bob Barr, Cynthia McKinney, or the Constitution Party candidate (can't remember his name), my message for you is the same -- STAY HOME. Save the gas money. Your vote doesn't count in this "democracy."
That's right. Thanks to an old outdated unnecessary institution we call the electoral college, you are wasting your time by bothering to vote.
And don't come back and say to me, "Well, the closer the national popular vote is, the less of a mandate the winner can have." Not according to our 43rd commander in chief Mr. George Bush Jr. He said after defeating John Kerry 51% to 48% that he had a mandate. I guess after having lived through the 2000 election debacle, a guy that wins the popular and electoral votes, even only slightly, is now the beholder of a mandate.
If we abolished the electoral college once and for all, and made every vote count, then people might feel like they had more of a role in our "democracy" even if you're a lefty in Kansas, or a right-winger in NYC.

Corrupted Justice Challenges legitimacy of Perverted Justice
We've all seen DATELINE NBC To Catch a Predator.
It was one of my favorite shows on TV. Every time it was on I'd sit in front of the TV with some snacks and watch as these idiot losers would show up to a house hoping for sex with who they thought was a 14 year old girl. And then this 7 foot tall skinny white guy with salt 'n pepper hair comes out and tells them to take a seat and basically humiliates them. Good stuff.
Well, questions have arisen in my mind as I have looked through youtube and found out about that the Murphy police department threw out the cases against the guys in the Murphy investigation and let them all go free. Is what Perverted Justice and Dateline are doing illegal? Is what they're doing not valid in a court of law??
If anyone is a legal expert, please respond, cuz I would like to know if it is the law (at least in Texas) that if you do a sting operation, then once someone says no, you cannot solicit them again. I've heard that someone caught on a Catch a Predator episode counter sued and showed he was called 11 times by one of the decoys.
Interesting issue.....
