Don’t let them get away with choosing the candidates!
My feeling is that if a person is on the ballot, he should be included in the debates. Is Hunter on the SC ballot?
Who's "they?" The parties? They've "gotten away with" choosing their candidates for over two centuries.
If this information has been posted before, then I apologize.
According to the rules of the South Carolina State Election Commission to qualify to be on the primary ballot in S.C. -
* you must pay a fee of $25,000.00
* file the required paperwork.
Nothing else is required, such as a specified number of signatures from registered voters.
DUNCAN HUNTER paid his $35,000.00 and filed the required paperwork, and will therefore, be on the primary ballot in SC.
Interesting tidbit...
South Carolina charges each candidate on the ballot $25,000.00
The republicans charge their candidates $35,000.00
The Republican Party then uses the additional $10,000.00 any way they choose.
The democrats charge their candidates $2,500.00
The Democrat Party pay the difference, $22,500.00 for their candidates.
The way I see it, Duncan Hunter gave $10,000.00 of his limited resources to help HIS party exclude him.
BTW, the SC GOP don't give a rip how we feel about Hunter's exclusion.
