Am I wrong that most people have given up hopes of McCain not being the nominee? If national security is the most important thing short-term in America, and conservative people recognize that, then why do many conservatives think McCain is a top-notch one on national security when he wants to close Guantanamo? Sounds fishy that the Democrats would love a warmonger--they do because he compromises. Furthermore, why would he think criticism of his Democratic opponents' positions is offensive? He's lambasted Bill Cunningham in Ohio and now Steve King of Iowa, not because they lied or cussed (which he does all the time), but because they might hurt McCain's friendship with Senator Clinton and Senator Obama!
I could never vote for McCain because of his cocky, disrespectful, and bull-headed attitude. If people condemned Gov. Spitzer for his adultery, why do they not do that to McCain? He was a known adulterer long before that NY Times story (http://www.nolanchart.com/article2957.html).
So I urge everyone who wants a chance to send a message to the GOP establishment to take action through www.fairprimary.org and www.opengopconvention.com. There is power in numbers, but people need to have the spirit and hope to continue to take action!
ALL RIGHT NOW!! LETS DO IT !!
“AYR YAH REEDY FOR AH WAR !!??”
Contact list needs to start for this action is short on time but plenty of folks wanting to happen soonest!!
Its time to fight !!
Wondering where the financing of this would come from. Wondering how to get the word out to the millions of “disenfranchised”. Wondering why we would concentrate our next eight months on a Presidential candidate rather than supporting true Conservatives for Congress instead. Wondering much about this idea.
I don’t like being stuck with McPain, but I’d rather concentrate upon gaining a Conservative friendly, an American friendly congress instead. We need concentrate all our funding for that purpose.
Welcome to FR, and goodluckwiththat....
Of course the RINOs who now control the party would spit on you and your idea.
You joined to post that?
Normally a newbie is harassed for posting so quickly. I do like this website, and I’m glad you posted it. This is a good post.
BTTT!
1) Not every state uses the primary system, a lot use the caucus system.
2) What of it? We’re now Democrats - don’t like the results, so let’s do it again and again until we ‘get it right?’
3) Even if we re-ran the election on a national basis, what would change? McCain would still win, while conservatives trip over themselves in a rush to vote for people more liberal than McCain.
When did we start being the party of whiners too? Or are we just going to copy every stupid idea that liberals come up with?
If the GOP had wanted a “real” conservative they would have voted for one. You sound like the dems crying about MI and FL.
Not the solution this be. Closing the primary process to Republicans registered 90 days would be more effective. Better scheduling, but not all at once, would also help.
Way to make a splash knubi. I’d sign yer little form there but I am not a “registered member of the the Republican Party,” I have no representative government, I am a conservative.
Your website is interesting, especially the page that lists the results of the primaries according to "open/closed/semi-closed" status.
So, Schwinger, who is funding your organization?
Next time they probably will. This was just a ploy to ensure that John Mc Cain was the nominee.
It worked. It got him the nomination. Now they can elect him.
His only chance is for the Democrats to have a civil war among themselves.
I dont see this happening before Election Day 2008, but I would like to see this in place before 2012.
One National Primary day for all states. I would even go along with a National Primary week, M-F, 10 states a day. At least that way, all candidates on the ballot on Monday will still be in the race for the states voting on Friday.
The biggest problem by far is the open primaries, not the date or the time between the different states.
Welcome to FR. Pinging a couple of FRiends who will also be interested.
