New Voter

Just a question, which votes actually elect the next President? Is is the
popular vote of the citizens, or is it the Electoral Colledge ? Who is this
E.C. anyway?

Perhaps I should just join the local Masonic Lodge.

The votes that actually elect the president are the ones that are cast. If
you don't vote then they don't count. Just FYI. The Electoral College
casts the votes. That assumes they haven't been drinking and partying all
week. You know, they could actually vote for the wrong person. What if
they vote for Ron Paul? Could be a disaster for the country.

Just FYI

Doesn't your country have a Senate and or Congress that can thwart the power
of the President?

Good question. The Democrats have been the majority in the Senate and House
for almost 4 years and they haven't been able to thwart President Bush.
It's not like they haven't tried.

I can't imagine to what you are referring to, but the US was not in an
illegal war, the whole international community didn't absolutely despise
the US, gas wasn't almost $4 per gallon, etc.
