“Step one is to tighten state primaries so that only Republicans vote in Republican Primaries (Dems too). Cross-over voting is ruining the party.”
Agreed. That’s how we got John McCain. Independents should have to vote in their own primaries, if there are any, and not ours. Only REGISTERED GOP voters should be allowed to vote in the Republican primaries. And not to belittle anyone who lives in Iowa or N.H. but I’m getting tired of having them go first and pick our candidates. Why can’t we move some more conservative states like Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Wyoming or Kentucky up to the top of the primary calendar? I guarantee a RINO like McCain would not win.
The RNC needs to fix that before I return to the GOP. I don't join a political party to be "bipartisan" or vote for some other convoluted "big tent" suck up for the liberals.
Bush had his faults I was not happy with one bit, but I will say when he refused to speak to the Log Cabin perverts, it motivated me to support him.
I think the only reason McCain got any Republican votes in the general election was because he picked Palin. I agree with Beck, McCain is worse.
