I am glad so many GOP’ers did this b/c it may change the 2012 primaries so that more of them are closed. We are tired of Liberals crossing over and selecting our nominee. When they do that, they view it as acceptable but when we cross over it is a perversion of democracy. Remember, you can’t teach a liberal until their own tactics backfire.

The GOP isn't smart enough to hold a closed primary.

Just another reason the GOP is the Stupid Party.

and then they still don’t learn, or retain what they may have for an instance at least positively acknowledged.

Caught up in a whirlwind of illusion their heads constantly spinning.

Both parties did the open primary thing in Oregon, maybe 10-12 years ago. GOP did it for one election cycle, the Dims subsequently did the same. Neither state organization liked it after trying it and we are back to closed primaries, as it probably should be. There is still a sort of “movement” to go to open primaries but it has gained no traction.

“Remember, you can’t teach a liberal until their own tactics backfire.”

exactly.
At first I thought it was a silly thing and didn’t think many republicans would actually follow through.

When I heard Limbaugh say on the air the following day that he hoped the dems were just as happy with the candidate we chose for them, as we were with the candidate they chose for us (not just w/ crossover voting - but with MSM support as well) - I decided it wasn’t so silly afterall.

It’s impossible to make a lib play “fair” until you slap them with their own tactics.

It will be DE-licious to see Hillary steal the nomination via the dhimmirats’ own version of the electoral college.

You may be on to something. The DemonRats only decided to get rid of special prosecutors when one of them was turned loose on Slick.
