Letting lying dogs sleep

As you may or may not have heard, the republican led Michigan legislature is considering a plan to change the way our electoral votes are allotted--it's a somewhat convoluted plan, but suffice it to say that the idea is to allow the republican Presidential candidate to get at least a few electoral votes in Michigan even though he or she has as much chance of winning the states electoral votes based on the way the U.S. Constitution intended it to be as I do of farting $100 bills.  (Aside:  Funny how that whole disregarding the U.S. Consitution seems to get...um, disregarded when it comes to republican wants, isn't it?)

I, though, am one of the few Liberals who wholeheartedly endorse this plan--it's one thing (though it still isn't right) when you disenfranchise 10% of the voters in some podunk state in the South, and completely another when you disenfranchise 60% of the voters across the entire United States (figuring that approximately 40% of voters are Democrats or lean Democratic and 20% are more or less independent).

Pissing off that many Americans would be a final breath for a party already in its death throes.

Wouldn't bother attending the funeral, either.

Peace,
