It’s only purpose is to ensure that a miscreant, I’m sorry, a Republican occasionally gets “elected” President. Doesn’t President Gore and President Hillary Clinton have nice rings to them. Republicans don’t win the popular (one citizen, one vote) election because Americans don’t want conservative nazi rule. Those who do want such rules enjoy the socialist perks four years at a time while whining at every social gathering provided to them.

To kinda quote a song from That Great Old Band The Hollies

He’s not heavy, He’s My Republican neighbor.
