The US is not a democracy. It is a representative republic. The EC was devised to be consistent with idea of a representative republic. The left doesn't get to kick that to the curb just because they lost one election.
I agree with you on the campaign financing laws. Get rid of tax favored status for PAC's and the favored tax treatment of political contributions. That would certainly be a good start.

See, that's the difference between you and most everyone else. We think in terms of what constitutes the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Your Randian obsession with the individual and of selfishness as a cardinal virtue is a deranged perversion of enlightened self interest. See a shrink.
