“The fact that they may be voting for a candidate you guys don’t personally like doesn’t change that.”

You’re bordering on outright lying now...

This statement has NOTHING to do with the discussion. NOBODY is saying that people can’t “vote” for anyone they want (in the general election). We’re talking about corrupting the primary process of a political party.

It’s a SCAM, pure and simple.

Now, you either know that and choose to applaud it, or you are ignorant of it and refuse to become informed. No matter which it is, you are dangerous, as is anyone like you willing to make up the rules of the game as you go.

I would NOT endorse “spamming” the DNC either. So it has nothing to do with who the unethical behavior benefits. It’s unethical, and it scews the system, no matter who it benefits.

Get it? If not, we all know why...

Libertarians do NOT have the numbers to swing the “conservative” party in any direction. 2-3% at best...

So they need the help of liberal socialist Democrats to do it. That’s hijacking a Party in broad daylight. That’s what we object to.

I’m saying that it is unethical at best, and at odds with the constitutional process to manipulate the results of a political party nomination by switching parties solely for that purpose, without adopting the belief systems of that party. It’s a SCAM, pure and simple.

No, it is the exercise of individual states and their state parties in how best to attract new voters, encourage voters to vote for their most desired candidate, etc. It fosters (ugh) democracy. Well, okay, as long as they don't consider that any great virtue in our representative republic. The Founders intended this sort of limited exercise of democracy at the state and local level. But not nationally.

Killjoy. You must have been a hallway monitor or class president back in elementary school.

I think the best estimates indicate a 7%-10% range among Republican voters. But it depends on the election, the candidates, the issues. Kind of fluid. There is a discernible libertarian strain in the GOP but it's almost impossible to quantify over time. Not trying to be evasive here. It's those darned voters who are evasive if you ask me! Have you ever met our voters, BTW? Damned herd of cats.
