Yeah whatever, at least I am honest about my predicament. To have a voice in local primaries, unfortunately, in my area one has to be registered as a dem, and there is no crossover in my state to vote in state and local primaries, which is a good thing, IMO, looked what happened during the Michigan Republican primary in 2000.
And if your "ridicule" is my cross to bear for my present electoral predicament, so be it. I can survive your gnat like ridicule.
