Why didn't GWB join the U.S. Air Force ?

Your statement of the problem is incomplete.
Are all 20 of those states winner take all or do they
apportion their electors?

This is vital information without which the question is
unanswerable.

Vital? You're on drugs. The idiot asked a hypothetical question,
so just give him a hypothetical answer. Sheesh! Don't act like an
idiot yourself.

What do you call a political system that has a Legislature, a Judiciary,
and an Executive branch of government?

OK, what do you call it.

Sounds most like a Republic but could also apply to other
forms of gummint.

You're splitting hairs. It still sounds like independence was
granted. But if it makes you less humiliated, call it by another
name.

As I said, call it what you will.
It was a recognition of the facts that a succesful rebellion had
established. At that point he could have declared himself King
of Coney Island for all the effect that would have had. The US
delegation wouldn't have signed such a treaty of course but it
wouldn't have altered the basic facts on the ground one smidge,
jot, tittle, or iota.
To get a really good example of rhetoric avoiding unpleasantness
one could do worse than the words of the Showa Emperor (Hirohito)
announcing to this subjects that the situation had not developed
entirely to japan's advantage. That was a monumental understatement.

That's exactly what I thought.

You thought?
That would be news to us. You've never shown
the slightest evidence of thought before.

And we still don't know how electors in your
hypothetical situation are seated.
So we cannot say how it would turn out without
making assumptions whith which you may be at odds.

Suppose you went to a recruiter and they said they didn't have any pilot
slots available. You could join the USAF and take what they have.

You could go over to the Guard outfit and find that they have some slots
available, but you have to join the Guard first.

Suppose you join the Guard as enlisted, get selected for pilot training, and
receive a commission.

Presto, you're a pilot trainee, instead of a clerk in the payroll office, or stuck
in a rocket silo in Montana.

Would you rather be a pilot, or be a PFC burning **** in Sihanoukville?

Where you say that the peoples' vote is irrelevant and has nothing to
do with the election of the president.

Irrelevant is perhaps overstating the case.
The popular vote IS relevant in that it determines
what electors are seated but does not directly determine
the outcome of the Presidential race.

Its not mysterious or secret.


He's altering my words. This is what I said:

"If by 'public vote' you're referring to the national popular vote total,
it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the election of the president."

The popular vote is not irrelevant, but the figure that is derived by adding
the popular votes cast for each candidate in each state is irrelevant. It's
a meaningless statistic.

The interesting thing is that while we now have both an administration and
Supreme Court that gives preference to states rights, the Federal government
now has never been larger, more powerful and spent more than ever before.

We do not now have an administration or a Supreme Court that gives
preference to states rights.

The federal government has never been larger than it was in 1941-1946.

P.S. Active duty military forces are part of the Federal government.
