I just found this on another site:
Constitutional Convention of 1787:
"A popular election in this case is radically vicious. The ignorance of the people would put it in the power of some one set of men dispersed through the Union, and acting in concert, to delude them into any appointment." -- Delegate Gerry, July 25, 1787
"The extent of the country renders it impossible, that the people can have the requisite capacity to judge of the respective pretensions of the candidates." -- Delegate Mason, July 17, 1787
"The people are uninformed, and would be misled by a few designing men." -- Delegate Gerry, July 19, 1787
This is part of their rationale in having appointed electors.
How about the whole paragraph and not just a cherry-picked sentence...
Yep, a great presidential candidate. Gets 4 guys to beat the man then blows off a 9mm by his ear all to get useless info of a non-existent attack. Sound the f*cking trumpets for this savior of humanity. :roll:
Oops...didn't mean to burst your bubble like that.
My bubble is intact. You wanna follow someone like Obama into the battle field, be my guest. I'll be with Col. West.
So the elite in power were worried that somebody else might delude the people and get elected.
And the people were too stupid to differentiate between the elite liars and the other liars.
And the people are stupid and might be convinced to vote for someone who wasn't part of the elite.
I think the bold text answers the question. Nothing has changed. All the presidents, in fact all the candidates, have been part of the 'elite' society for 236 years.
Yet according to some here on CanCon I am delusional and insane to think the election process is a big fraud perpetrated by the plutocrats to give the illusion of choice to the people.
I have seen firsthand the results of battle. I will follow nobody into it.
So good to see the loud mouth hate filled tea bagging convict lose in Florida:

Good to see Obama took Fla. by a hefty 75,000 votes, maybe a few more people will shut up now. Clearly the best man won.
While forum right wingers were hopeful that early voting would mean a Romney victory, the election did not turn out as they had hoped.
In the current election (with the voting day just a handful of weeks away) and with both parties pounding the pavement looking for votes, the early results are inconclusive at this juncture:

Advanced voting in Georgia and North Carolina - majority of these voters are black:
GA-Gov/Sen & NC-Sen: More Than Half Of 2014 Sunday Early Voters In GA & NC Are Black
Early voting on Sundays has been one of the biggest fronts in the voting wars of recent years. Some of this past Sunday’s early voting numbers make the reason quite clear.
Data from two states that permit Sunday early voting, Georgia and North Carolina, show that 53 percent of the 25,000 early votes cast on Sunday were from black voters, compared with 27 percent of early voters across the two states since voting began for this year’s midterm elections.
“Souls to the Polls” drives are a big part of the explanation. Black churches often promote voting after services, sometimes even taking church members directly to the polls. Such drives are traditionally most popular on the Sunday before an election, when black turnout might be even higher than it was on Sunday. - New York Times, 10/29/14
People power - democracy in action.

Democracy in action is right!
800,000 Sunday voting Democrats hand the Senate over to the GOP!
Go North Carolina!
Go Georgia!

Ericka Andersen @ErickaAndersen It must have been rough for this 44-year-old to lose to an 18-year-old -- now country's youngest lawmaker!

Millennials just ain't "breaking" the way they are supposed to.
Soon the old Hippie Baby Boomer generation will go by the way of WWII generation but not as gracious as the latter did.
