Right on. The hard thing is that in a republic, the people don't really have their say, only who they elect.

[quote:794c6]And yes I know Bush wasn't the majority winner and I am definitely not saying that I agree with how he came into office. I will say that I'm glad Al Gore wasn't in office.[/quote:794c6]

Bush didn't win the majoity of the population, but he DID win the majority of the COUNTRY. Just because a highly-populated (and then generally more liberal) area has more people doesn't mean they get more say, at least not in elections. We can not allow rural and less-populated areas to be trampled on by big cities. That is why our constitution sets up the electoral college, that is why Bush got elected, and I believe that it is also the best system availble to truly get the voice of the COUNTRY (not nessicarily pop.) into our government.

Oh, and if Gore would have been elected, then there would have been at least one more major attack on our country after 9/11. I don't believe that Gore would take the proper actions againts terrorists to insure our freedom.
