Pop icon Barbra Streisand has declared that the Electoral College, a system widely seen as the bedrock of the U.S constitution and its democratic principles, represents an “assault on our democratic principles.”
Speaking to The Washington Post for an article on what the U.S. Constitution represents to herself as well as other progressive figures such as Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Streisand described the system as “antiquated” and advocated replacing it with a system that allows the winner of the popular vote to win the election.

If there ever was a reason for Conservatives to vote in Illinois, California and New York, I think the Left would be surprised by how many Conservatives there really are.

Her initials aren't BS for nothing. They really stand for something. And she's full of it.

The United States is a Representative Republic for a very good reason. Democracy is being ruled by the mob. The Founders knew this and wanted to avoid it at all cost. BS is ignorant of the country's founding. Therefore, her opinion holds no water. She and her fellow comrades reject any proof that the Electoral College is imperative for a fair election. Just because a leftist says something, does not make it true even if you are Barbra Streisand. That is what the left cannot get into their little pea brains-their thoughts do not equal truth. Arrogant ignorance is no way to go through life. Be woman enough to seek out the truth.

Ms. Streisand, you are the reason the Electoral College exists. Elitists think should rule the world. You come from a Hollywood culture that looks down their noses at deplorables. Yet, we are the ones that paid for your entertainment salary. Unfortunately, you became arrogant.

Noted constitutional expert Barbra Streisand lectures the rest of us on how federal elections should work. Thank you Barbra. You may sit down and shut up now.

History Professor Streisand needs a lesson in U.S. history. I guess she was trying to be a Funny Girl.

I always look to constitutional scholars like Streisand to determine how I should think about important issues. To be serious, why is this all of a sudden a big issue? Oh yeah, Cankles.

Who on earth does this woman think she is influencing? She can sing but can she think? SHE certainly thinks she is genius level, probably because she, like Debra Messing, Eric McCormick and the brilliant Robert DeNiro are told so countless times by their staffs.

The Ann Coulter column which was posted just before this responds to this perfectly..."We don't trust you."
Babs, you, and your political allies, have demonstrated that your commitment to democratic principles only lasts until people don't vote the way you want them to. Then you override the popular vote any way that you can.

Interesting how the Electoral College was never a problem until the Democrats started to lose elections. Maybe they should concentrate on getting better candidates rather than trying to change the election process.

Her little brain is an assault on the average intelligence of the American people and her nose is an assault on her face. Shut up and sing. She is not a pop icon she is a has-been although very gifted and talented in her time.

Are all lie-beral women ugly, stupid and evil?!?!?!? Or do they just get that way the older they get?!?!?!?
Seriously, I can't think of one lie-beral woman who isn't ugly (mainly because their hate and bile just pours out of every pour in their body making them unnatractive), stupid, and evil!!!

The problem is that the vast majority of Americans believe that we are a democracy.
The problem with democracies is that the minority is the majority road kill. Read mob rule.

This statement proves, once again, that BS is a particularly stupid person and/or a particularly ignorant person, likely both.
Shut up and sing.

Hollywood finds these 'entertainers' shoves them down our throats and makes them rich beyond their wildest dreams. Without Hollywood's golden ticket what would this miserable creature have done with her life? She is so egotistical she desperately needs attention. Far too stupid to build a life or simply enjoy life she has to whine about her hangups. Don't bother studying history or try to be informed, just spew more entitled, elitist nonsense, because you are rich and used to be somebody. Now that's over and all you have is bitterness and attitude, tons of it. Happily the end is closer every day and there aren't many left for you.
