because some state laws have a loophole through which other scum will slither, you will too?

It's not a "loophole". It's the law. Plainly stated. Passed by one or, generally, both parties in all those states. And the state laws mirror for both parties so neither gains a special advantage. In a given election, one party may have a strong nominee early, freeing up activists for mischief in the other party. But the only state I think it likely to have any impact at all is NH. And I think they make you switch parties by this next week. So very few Dim activists will go to so much trouble so early in the season.

The effect of party-switchers has never been felt in an open primary in modern times with the exception of McStain with NH voters in 2000. He appealed to them himself, just as Giuliani has done elsewhere, just as we saw candidates in both parties doing it in 2006. And yet, you fixate on Ron Paul who has never (yet) made such an appeal or focused any campaign effort on switchers. A small number of his supporters have but there is no reporting of significant numbers changing party. Does something have to be illegal to be wrong? Is everything that is illegal wrong?

No and no.

Ron Paul scares nobody but his shrink...

Seems to have you wetting your pants. Can't imagine why except you don't actually know much about individual state voting laws.

But if he can manage to shift the power of MoveOn.org, Code Pinko and many other leftist organizations into hijacking the Republican nomination process, this is indeed a threat and you see this as a good thing?

But their leadership condemns Ron Paul and their activists are looking for a chance to go after Hitlery. No, you're clutching at straws.

You are working to trash exactly what you claim to support. And you think I’m ignorant?

Not at all. And you are ignorant. Your statements make it obvious. Look, it's not that hard to find this info. You're not just ignorant, you're lazy and ignorant.

This is very typical of leftists. Right and wrong does not exist in their world either. Just legal and illegal, which is why they need a HUGE government to determine right from wrong via the legislative process. That’s why we legislate everything under the sun.

You're naive. Both parties do this stuff constantly. And both parties are monkeywrenching the electoral college for 2008. And both will be gerrymandering again after the 2010 census.

People with no respect for right and wrong can not self-govern. They need to be held between the lines of social order by legislative means, legal and illegal.

But you're a gloriously moral anarchist? This is purely self-serving and self-justifying rhetoric.

And you think you’re the wise one here...

No. I'm just the one who knows the law and doesn't blame some candidate who has nothing to do with it for people switching parties. Just how exactly would you, O Lawgiver, prevent people from doing naughty things that might ruin your little utopia? Let's hear it, Mom. And believe me, both parties and all the voters are a lot more slippery than your third-grader. So you'd better think carefully before you build your corral for that herd of cats. Then build fifty of your corrals in all the states. Or you could just destroy all the state parties entirely and run it all from the national level. Good luck trying to sell that to the RNC (a truly hated bunch these days) or to your state and county chairs.
