11. Just get 17 states to refuse to participate in the Electoral College ROFLMAO

"Mitt Romney carried 24 states. We need to have conservative activists from all over the nation contact the electors, the Republican Party and the secretary of state in all of these states and tell them not to participate in the Electoral College when it meets on Dec. 17. If we can get 17 of those states (just over one-third) to refuse to participate, the Electoral College will have no quorum. Then, as the Constitution directs, the election goes to the House of Representatives. That is how we can still pull this election out and make Mitt Romney president in January. We need this concept shared with every tea party, liberty and patriotic group throughout the country. We have time to act, but we must pressure Republicans to do the right thing. It does not matter who gets credit for this. The credit is not important. Using our last chance to defeat Barack Obama is important."

You run with that Judson!

If only 270 electoral college votes are submitted to the Congress and all of them are for Obama, Obam wins end of story.

The 2/3 quorum requirement is for states voting should the House of Representatives end up with the decision after no candidate recieves a majority of electoral college votes.

10. Yes, it was so. Had the theory promoted by the Teabagging buffoon been true in 1860...

The South could have used it to block the election of Abraham Lincoln.

Do you seriously believe they would not have used every constitutional means to insure Lincoln never took office?

I didn't think so.

I heard they are going to unfreeze Reagan's brain and pass legislation that will allow him to run again!
