And they wonder why many Americans don't trust our political system? When Republican voters see their party leaders asserting power instead of listening to what the people want, it discourages them. That coupled with the abysmal lack of education in civics and the voting process could very well mean that Ron Paul will pull enough votes away and endure that Obama will stay in power for another 4 years.
They should cut all open-primary states’ delegate counts in half.
Simple solution for Florida.
Give all the delegates to Newt, and tell the establishment to roll Mitt over to the next state.
All incumbents must go. The have become so entrenched that they have forgotten who put them there. They are lining their own pockets. I think it’s time for a wake-up call.
Note to Newt. Continue to paint Romney as the estabishment candidate (it is the truth). Florida could be much easier than people think.
Subsidiowa. Ethanol/Money rules all.
For years Republicans were labeled Blue and Democrats were labeled Red. Then the liberal media decided that that was unfair. After all, every year Republicans got "true blue" while Democrats were stained with "commie red". So the media decided that every four years they would switch colors to make it fair.
But then some Republican operative decided he liked the sound of "red meat" conservatives, and the media, who will never pass on a made-up controversy let them keep it.
It's all silly nonsense that is beside the point.
The reason why I am happy with what the Republican Party did was because they FOLLOWED THE RULES. If Florida wanted to move up their primary they could have argued it with the party much earlier. They didn't. Just like what happened in Virginia: they snoozed and they lost.
Thge Republicans punish Florida for moving up their Primary and yet they would let New Hampshire and Iowa move their up any time they want to.
In Virginia, the party figured a way to keep all but two candidates off the ballot.
All Primary’s should be on the same day >
All Candidates who wish to be should be on the ballot in Va.
I am ready for a real two party system instead of the One party system we have now.
Newt should speak out agaisnt this elitist establishment move. Who do they think they are? Who is “the party” if not the people?
Newt should mention Hispanic unemployment numbers. Hispanic immigrants did not come to the US to be unemployed and poor so they could get on Obama’s food stamp rolls and join the Left’s permanent underclass. They came to America just like all the Americans before them - for individual freedom and opportunity. They came for economic independence and American freedom.
