How about we elect our next Prez American Idol style.
We get a dozen candidates, who have to perform somehow - debating, speechifying, doing something useful for a change. The judges make comments about how they did. Then we all vote by texting with our cell phones and they're eliminated one by one till we crown our next Presidential Idol. Or Survivor style, where they are voted off the island and have to do challenges and make alliances with their tribes and whatnot (I never watched the show). I think that would be a lot more fun, don't you? |

Well, the votes by text message.
Which may or may not really count anyway, according to AI critics who say it's all staged anyway . . . Damn, you're right. But it would still be more fun that way. |

I'd vote for president Davies because he'd have to make Fry VP.

I try to keep this in mind, voting for the more gentle slope to hell at each opportunity, unfortunately the extremists are already in control of the primary elections, so when we get to the general election there is no-one worthy of a positive vote. Moderates get drummed out of both parties. My district lost a middle ground Democrat who failed to toe the line. The party wanted someone less representative of the spirit of the locals, so now we're a Republican district whose rep votes strictly by party.
As far as legitimacy goes you can see here that we barely have legitimate elections during Presidential election cycles and don't have them in off years. The partisans of each side are cartoonish in their beliefs because the moderates have better things to do with their lives than attempt to rule others.

I dunno I WILL vote I am a registered republican. Mainly because I feel like the dems just aren't getting the job done, I'll vote republican.. so next year who ever gets elected I will have the right to complain.. I like republican because they are apparently going to return to the constitution and help restore our future..

Obama is a Fool.. the only reason anyone gives a shit about him is because he's the first black president and he is trying to make history. Unfortunately the history he is making is the down fall of american civilization as we know it. I think he is the anti Christ and if dose not start standing up for Israel then he should just shove a frog up his ass and lick his shit cause the only change that will happen is the extreme visuals of his diluted campaign...

In what way is he not standing up to Islamist extremists? Specifically, I mean. What has he done, or not done, that other presidents or candidates did not or would not do, or did and would do? How does Romney's position stand up to extremists more effectively?
