I read the following research on the history of the Electoral College, and the reasons our Founders thought it was necessary:

I can't help to wonder, with all the corruption in politics today, if this system really works anymore.

"with all the corruption in politics today"

There's probably less outright corruption now than heretofore.

Remember Boss Tweedy, Mayor Curley, Warren Harding?

What's wrong today is what's legal.

Half the people in the country get some kind of government check.

SS disability and Food Stamps are at record levels. I know people who have effectively retired young on this gravytrain.

Most of the people collecting a government paycheck accomplish nothing necessary or productive, whether the Post Office, the Marco PD, the TSA, the DEA, the troops fighting our worthless wars in the Levant, most soon to be getting on board the Post-Traumatic Stress gravy train.

Anyone either collecting a government check now or soon expecting to get one would be a fool not to vote for the Great Obama....
