I don't see any proble with letting the majority elect the President. Its not like the majority would be deciding every single policy issue.

That is one of the main reasons we need to repeal the electoral college. It gives massive disproportionate influence to certain random minorities who happen to be concentrated in swing states, while other minorities, like the blacks in Mississippi, are completely and totally irrelevant. Our founders certainly outdid themselves in idiocy when they approved that dumbass policy.

Our own country has, for the last 3 decades said that trade with communists is the only sure way to advance freedom in that country. It is the reason that China has MFN status. We have traded with the Soviet Union before their collapse, we have traded with the Vietnamese which killed close to 60,000 US service men. If it is OK for those countries, there is no logical argument that it is not also ok to trade with Cuba. We have to get over the fact that our invasion of Cuba was repelled, and that Castro has successfully thumbed his nose at us for the last 50 years. The embargo has failed, every other country in the free world trades with Cuba, they travel there, spend their tourist money there, buy their cigars and their rum. It is a failed policy that for some reason many Conservatives want to hold on to.

I think the reason was always because of Cuba's proximity to the US, as demonstrated by the Cuban Missile Crisis. While Vietnam, China and N. Korea (until the 90s), and other countries were only problematic via the Domino Theory, Cuba always had the proximity and history to be considered a national security threat...

That, and Americans probably felt stupid that we had given it independence and then lost control of it...

Article IV Section 4 reads:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican
Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on
Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature
cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Alright. You got me on the constitutional argument. You're right there.

I appreciate you sticking up for everyone who has made a retarded post in the past year by making the absolute worst joke in said time period, but please man, have some fragging (I'm watching Battlestar Galactica) self-respect!

Anyway, my favorite form of government is advocated in Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution. Article VII also uses the proper form of dating (AD), so a bunch of retarded historians can kiss my exquisite white ass!
