The electoral college is why voting doesn't make such a big deal and if the electoral college has a large number of mason members how would they decide who to make president?

the electoral college is supposed to vote with it's state's popular vote, but i don't think that happens much anymore.
If both candidates were freemasons, wouldn't either one be acceptable?

Maybe you should choose another screen name beginning with IG? Just kidding. The name, Electoral College, is only a system. Each state is delegated the numbers of electors equal to the number of Congressional members they have. Wyoming has 1 Congressman & 2 Senators, thus their EC votes = 3. All votes go to the candidate who receives the most votes in the state.
And the winner is determined by the best liar, not their Masonic order rank. Thus has George W been elected twice, because he did a better job at lying. Especially Kerry may have lied just as much. Just poorer at it.
You think I did a good job of getting both sides mad at me? Frankly, I'm also very much disgusted with choosing between the lesser of the evils.

The one who got the most votes. That's the way it works. And we've had elections between candidates who were Freemasons before. Read a book once in a while, a mind's a terrible thing to waste. Even yours.

There is much more at stake here than just the freemasons. Historically the candidate with the best bloodlines would win. And it will be that way forever. Presidents are not elected they are selected.

Who knows - it might actually become one of those times in life where democracy and not social status actually works.
But what would I know - I'm an Australian with a Queen who resides on the other side of the world. a Prime Minister with his own agenda before he retires (and damn public opinion) and a Governor General who has not got the stones to make a stand. What a screwed up country.

freemasons hugh, well, I don't think it would be the Northern Star, if you know what I mean. Probally whichever one had the blondest hair and the bluest eyes.
