THE PROBLEM IN THESE PRIMARIES ARE THE INDEPENDENTS!

WHY DO REPUBLICANS ALLOW INDEPENDENTS TO INFLUENCE THE SELECTION OF THEIR NOMINEE?

KEEP INDEPENDENTS OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES!

IT IS POLITICAL SUICIDE.

sory for yelling.

The media have picked our candidates before most of us have even been allowed to vote.

LOL. Independents are sometimes a problem.

But the real problem is the interface between the GOP National Committee, the State GOP committees and the MSM.

They really made it very difficult for conservatives to get traction while encouraging kooks like Ron Paul. They purposefully wore down Fred's and Duncan's campaigns, the rope a dope startegy that sucks money and resources out while making it easy for others.

And they held Fred in very long strategy talks which made Fred slow to enter the race.

Its all about the future. And the GOP has decided to embrace a future unacceptable to conservative voters.

In short, the Republican party has become the covert enemy of conservatives. But they can be covert no longer.

The jig is up. I do not want a RINO future for America.

I will fight the Republican's anyway I can on this.

Yesterday the GOP made millions of implacable enemies. And they shrug it off. Believe me, they won't be shrugging after 7th Nov. 2008. Some will shoot themselves, literally.

The Republican party doesn't have a hope of winning next November against the $50 million plus war chest the Dems have, who have a minimum 52% popular vote, without the conservative wing of the Republican party.

The GOP has made its own bed, and they will have to lie in it, alone.

I have better things to do, and better places to go , than to keep the GOP company on their RINO riddled, tick filled mattresses, filled with the matted hair of the shriven, liberal socialist poseurs, they call candidates.

You are correct.

The independents have influenced the vote.

The next primaries are closed ones and should clear up who is going to represent the GOP.

I think Romney will beat McCain on that basis.

Once Huckabee and Thomson drop out, conservatives will go to the Romney camp to keep McCain out of the White House.

Sorry to say in some states it can’t be done. We used to have closed primaries in South Carolina but those were somehow branded racist so they changed to open ones.

If McCain did pull plenty of the crossover vote here yesterday then the Dem primary plans to be really interesting here. New Hampshire all over again.

Because they agree with them.

I feel like yelling with you.

Why haven’t every single one of the primaries been closed off to prevent the independents? They made it extremely clear that they don’t want to be a part of the political process, so let them do just that. Stay out of the political process!
