States Create Election Instability

Jan 15, 2008 13:50

The founders of America understood that stable government depended on minimizing the influence of individual greed and avarice on the electoral system and did not give popular vote except for Representatives. To further insulate "the public" from government, they elected the president through the state legislatures.

The advantages were that no "special interest group" could gain sufficient influence over large numbers of representatives whereas a demagogue only needs an invitation to the pulpit of an evangelical church to have more power than god over their minds.

A depraved president and congress could more easily be recalled by a legislature under indirect pressure from the local representatives. A great fear of Patrick Henry was that the congress was too weak to control a president.

The States now having tasted the federal tyranny and found that it was good, are now eliminating the remains of the electoral college and making the popular vote decisive which is a grave mistake should the tyrants succeed at causing total economic chaos.

Once the popular vote reigns, there will nothing preventing another Bolshevik Revolution except continued good times. Once there is any discontent, the government will be used to attack the losers.

The present tyrants define political stability as having sufficient police to force compliance, but the founders would have already attacked them and hanged the survivors. They are correct in one regard however in that peace depends upon being more willing to ruthlessly exercise force than the tyrants.
