Are you "Furious".

Hey now, I VOTED FOR KINKY FRIEDMAN and not Gov "Good hair Perry"!

I've been very adept at voting for the rest of the "losers" that didn't get elected. :p

I hope I can still vote after I die like all those good Democrats in Chicago. :)

Well, may be you should go to the source and blame your fellow americans, or even better, explain to them how they are wrong in what they're doing.

One thing I can suggest is that you start demanding international observers and some foreign forces to help with the fairness of the election process, as you seem to be convinced that it's the election fraud that's keeping you in the minority. Seems like you're having problems with the fundamentals of the political system, so that's where I'd go.

That type of strategy didn't work favorably for ancient Greece and Rome. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

As long as we are free to disagree - we remain free. Conflict is good for the Republic.

I do blame my fellow Americans.

I stated earlier we had the best judges that money can buy. I neglected to include politicians in that statement.

Not necessary to import any foreign observers. We've got enough here already.

Besides that, our dear, beloved POTUS has, by executive order, made arrangements for 26 states and 900 districts worth of votes to be counted in Spain.

Habla Espańol Seńor? ;)

I bet Moochelle doesn't either.

Yet you insist that that's the way for others all around the world, and keep complaining about the issue at paces you can't put troops, e.g. China, Russia, South Korea, Venezuela...

And speaking of learning from history, how about not running an empire you can't afford?

Finally if disagreement was the greatest thing about USA you wouldn't be celebrating a national holiday in a couple of days. This country starting with the so beloved constitution exists because of people being able to compromise and do something together even when they have completely opposite ideologies. But I guess that's not a particularly prized historical lesson.

All those wasteful and failed entitlement and social programs. True.

Nope, I don't vote, which is a huge waste of time, and for the 4th of July menu I am thinking bloc de foie gras with 2005 Ch. Lafaurie-Peyraguey.
Somehow the traditional choice of pink slime and the king of beers doesn't seem particularly appealing.

I don't find that the least bit surprising. Maybe you'll change your mind about voting after you're dead. :p

From my barbaric viewpoint emulsified livers and pink slime aren't that much different.

I can see a difference between a snooty French sauterne and the so called "king" of beers which in my opinion is produced from the horses that pull the wagon.

I'll celebrate with a ribeye and Modelo Negro, thank you.
