Search Results: do we have a chance

What are the chances of a girl on here open to blind dating on here and at the very least chat and exchange photos and maybe it lead to a phone conversation and maybe a relationship.

Short term is fine but always open for long too.

During the formation of the Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan suggested the band be named Roy and the Boys in honor of Roy Orbison, but the band ended up being The Traveling Wilburys.

This illegal alien is being charged with human trafficking and other crimes. He was released from jail until his trial. If he goes to trial chances are he will be found guilty and will be imprisoned and when his prison sentence is done he will be deported.

Does anyone really think that he will show up for his trial?

Have one election, no primaries, and the top vote-getters go to Washington as the state’s representatives. It would result in wildly more diverse delegations, more moderates representing a wider range of ages, races and political beliefs than we have in Congress.

Rural voters wouldn’t lose “their” representatives under this system any more than urban voters would. In fact, all voters would be more represented, not less. For example, each Pennsylvanian would go from having three representatives to having 19. And each member could cultivate a statewide constituency based on political orientation, social beliefs and moral reasoning rather than geography.

Electing all the representatives at large would make all the districts in each state the same size. More important, it would end the redistricting wars that bedevil us only after the census but now seem destined to become a permanent & ugly fixture of American politics.

If each state chose its representatives in a single statewide election, the result would be a House of Representatives truly representative of the people. Smaller parties would finally stand a chance of winning a seat at the table. The two major parties would be forced to enter coalitions, which would require compromise and moderation — qualities sorely lacking.

Critics will insist that the House is no place for the 17th-place finisher. Perhaps. But could the resulting Congress be any more dysfunctional than the current one?

A single-vote, winners-take-all system would remove party politics and geography from the process. Representatives would represent people with shared ideologies, not some artificially constructed “district” where half the voters feel their representative is not representative of their beliefs.

For example, there aren’t enough socialists or libertarians in any one congressional district in PA to win a seat. But maybe there are enough socialists or libertarians statewide to enable a candidate to finish in the top 17.
