Wyoming didn't elect any Senators in 2004. :In any case there's a strong argument that the republicans hold power :due to the oddities of the American electoral system---not because :they had the support of the majority of the voters. No there isn't. There isn't even a weak argument for that. The Republicans gained strength in the Senate. The Republicans gained seats in the House. The Republicans got the majority of votes on the national ticket. So far all you've demonstrated is that your lot must be too stupid to understand the basics of how American government works, if your argument is that you only keep getting beaten because "the voters are stupid" and "the oddities of the American electoral system" get in your way. : Perhaps, but they're smart enough to not vote your you lot. What does : that say about you? : :A comprehensible sentence would have strengthened your argument! ;-) Gee, a typing flame. I'm IMPRESSED. -- "The odds get even - You blame the game.
