Freepers, we have lost our beautiful America, and the loss came from within.

Every two years we get an opportunity to correct mistakes. Maybe we should be paying attention to the primary elections this year. Primary turn-out is notoriously light, particularly in a midterm year, and that's an opportunity to vote out those who have forgotten who they work for.

The RNC will have to back the winner of the primary - so why not vote when there may really be a choice.

Because it's encouraged to support the incumbents - My wife and I have both volunteered for various elections/campaigns, and almost always the incumbent was given a pseudo-favored status, regardless of whether or not they deserved to go back, because the belief was that if an incumbent is defeated in the primary, then the democrats could use that as ammo against us, because the GOP position would be seen as weak.
