Personally, I think each party’s primaries should be restricted to its respective party members. But as long as the parties are stupid enough to allow crossovers and independents, we might as well jam up Obama by voting for Hillary now that McCain is the presumptive Republican nominee, thanks in part to independents and Democrat crossovers. :-)
I agree, a level playing field concept would dictate all parties play by the same rules,, unfortunately, with scoundrels in the media and parties today willing to carve up their own grandmother to get ahead, the variety of different ways candidates are vetted and voted for and against, how can anyone question that what we have today bordering being a classic clusterf***.
a nation that is so vital to the prosperity of more than just its own citizens but also others should not allow foreign interlopers and political sell-outs to determine the direction of the nation.
