Honestly RT this sock has no clue. Em should not be the admin.
Sebby was saying that the good thing about the Electoral College is that it somehow prevents democratic fiscal irresponsibility. I was pointing out that the track record is clear that Democratic Presidents have been more fiscally responsible, so that if Sebby really cared about that sort of thing, he'd have a problem with the Electoral College.

I was not denying the existence of Newt Gingrich, though wouldn't that be nice. If you posit a Newt Gingrich, you should always vote for a Democratic President, because that sort of a Republican Congressman will go for wanton and reckless budgets under a Republican President.
