In the Pacific Northwest, I hear it all the time where political citizens want part of their own state to break away and create their own.

Examples include the split between North and South California or the division between Western Washington and Eastern Washington.

Based on your knowledge, would you or would you not agree with this political idea? And if so why?

Why do we need it? Are the votes of the American people not enough?????

The electorial college only acts as a fail safe for the republicans to put their candidate in charge in close elections. We voted Al Gore in. Bush was appointed. Is that right?

Is this even a democracy without the right to vote?

Consdering all three, Congress, Supreme Court and the Executive, are controled by the same party and considering previous rumours, is there anything the average US citizen could do if the results don't match the polls at all this year or in 2008?

First off, I am a far left southerner. When I was a teenager, I had a confederate flag in my room. We called it a 'rebel flag' back then.

To me, it never represented anything racist. That actually never even crossed my mind. It represented being willing to stand up & rebel against things or organizations I didn't agree with. You know like most teenagers feel...

Now, it seems to represent racism and I just feel that history is being not only rewritten but that this flag is being misrepresented.

For example, the Civil War was about the South wanting to break away from the Union not slavery. A lot of ppl seem to be unaware that Pres. Lincoln actually told the south they could keep their slaves as long as they would stay in the Union.

The abolishment of slavery came after the end of the Civil War because the south basically had insisted on the war for other reasons & flat got whooped hindering them at the will of the North at that pt.

Why can't ppl educate themselves before judging?

Is this what Neocons really think Liberal means? Some one posted this:
{ Liberal: Definition:
A person who allows anyone to do anything.
Give anything to anyone who asks.
Gripe about everything everyone does.
Gripe about things that have been given to everyone.
Whinnnnne all the time. }

My definition of a Neocon is:
- A person who wants to prevent minorties from having equal rights even when it is within the law.
- Wants to take everything they can from society; greedy, but never give anything back.
- Gripe about everything everyone does.
- Gripe about things that have been given to everyone.
- Whinnnnne all the time.
- Hates gays
- Hates minorities
- Hates anything or anybody who doesn't have their belief system and feels they have no right to live in the USA.
- Wants to impose their belief system on all ppl.

Politicians have an earned reputation of being in their business for personal gain, and not for the true greater good of the American people and the country as a whole. How can we believe the political system will set up, distribute and monitor the elections honestly with so much at stake for the politicians and their parties during elections? We automatically receive a receipt for purchasing 50 cents of goods in a grocery store, and are respected for keeping track of our pennies. How can we not demand the same accountability when we vote for the President of the United States? Logic would follow that we would all automatically receive a guarantee that we have been acknowledged as a voter whose vote can be legitimately recounted with no doubt as to the honesty of the count. Our voting system has been plagued with doubt in the last two elections. Accountability should be on the increase, not thrown to the wayside with a system relying entirely upon trusting politicians integrity.
