So we should look for stories of voter fraud in those three states? Your work IS showing up in Ohio, I've seen.
Nothing in MA, hey? They've already got the votes locked up or are there enough absentee ballots coming to negate any conservative votes?
I hope they school you in the legalities of voter registration, but somehow, I doubt that's low on the list in those states, at least within the circles you assist.
mr.Curmudgeon:
No such thing as voter fraud...

Study to see if you can fix ANY LIMIT to his power in this respect, after you have given him so much as you propose. If, today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us" but he will say to you "be silent; I see it, if you don't."
"The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress, was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This, our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that NO ONE MAN should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood."
the world needs you, honest Abe.

danny, I think we all see where you're angling with this post. The problem is, Ol' Abe's process is the way we went about it. So if you feel the world needs him back, then you are saying you agree with the process and where it's led us to currently, right?

That's how we did it. Nice take on our system. It was no ONE man. See, there are 435 members in one house and 100 in the other that voted for a war in Iraq. Including Kerry.
Honest Abe was a Republican.
Shmokes has it right about the desolution of the Union. I suppose it could be done if Everybody agreed. At this point in time we would only allow California to leave.
And also Shmokes and I agree on this -

Well said, well said :-X
(That last quote was taken horribly out of Context because I know Shmokes has a wonderful sense of Humor)

Or the president can say the "Canada has WMD" and use that as his excuse to attack Canada, even though UN inspector's said there was no WMD.
