So, why is a primary election that allows ALL GOP voters to participate DIRECTLY in a one-person-one-vote process that directly determines the outcome a negative compared to an arcane process that involves a laddered group of meetings attended only by party insiders?

Nothing is more important to the setablishment than preventing the citizens from stopping the Cheap Labor Express.

They are not about to allow us to reverse 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.

That is what all the internal wrangling inside the GOP is about at every level.

I don’t know the details but I’ve watched the RINO’s dirty tricks and back stabbing over the years down in Virginia.

From the days of Warner versus Obenshain to their dirty dealings with Ollie North and Mike Farris and the list goes on and on.

The ‘cardboard conservatives’ don’t want real ones running the GOP and they’ll keep changing the rules until they can control the party completely.

The RINO’s need to have the freedom to control government against the conservative positions. Like when the lame duck GOP governor Bob McDonnell raised taxes.

It seems to me that a convention can be ‘rigged’ easier than a primary election.

[Maelstorm]

I support the primary but I do wish it were a run off style primary.

Dear Mr. Wildfire!

There is an invention called a telephone!

Maybe you heard! of it.

It predates Google! I hear.

On Monday!, you can call! the Virginia! GOP and ask.

Then you can tell! us.
