Which bill was that? The two open primary bills?

Yep. To allow liberals to take over the GOP. They don't need to wait for an open primary. Its already an accomplished fact!

Which bill was that?

Anyways, when you look at this scenario this way, smart people can easily deduce that when you look at the Republican legislators who voted to place the open primary on the ballot, and subtract those away who actually voted for the taxes, you are left with a group of Republican legislators who either supported an open primary because they actually think we should have then, but who also knew that supporting it early this morning was tantamount to supporting the tax increase.

... the open primaries Maldanado is promoting are not about partisan politics. They are about cultural politics.

Someone educate me..what would be the benefit of open primaries? ... The chief benefit would be to cohesive groups outside politics .... as in cultural groups ... as in soon to be majority cultural groups ... as in Hispanics
