You’re depressing me, John...
Two words for you: Boo hoo!
Hits the nail on the head. I can’t see how the country will get cleansed. We’ve turned a corner and are no longer the land we were intended to be.
The way we elect presidents sucks. By the time we got to vote in California crossover DemocRATS voting for McCain had a bigger say on who we could vote for than we California republicans did. We never got to vote for Thompson or Hunter. That was decided for us.
It sucks, hard.

Thanks for this information.
Amazing that in America - the land of the free - we have not managed to come up with a fair election after all these years.
What is the purpose of all of the campaigning if there is merely going to be manipulation behind the scenes. Why contribute to a party or candidate?
Seems a big waste of money to me.
I brought this up at our Minnesota caucus when a Huckabee supporter was bragging that Huckabee “won” WV. He was floored that this happened; so was everybody else in the room.
McCain lost in our precient by 17 points. I don’t think think the WV garbage helped him even with our Governor, Tim Pawlenty, stumping for him. The precinct leader read McCains letter to the precinct and then “forgot” to read the rest of the candidates letters until reminded....

I am shocked...shocked to find that politics takes place within the world of politics! Too bad Romney went out of his way to cheese everybody off, things might have worked out differently.
Only positive thing about McScampaign: he’s got a bag of dirty tricks at least as big as her Thighness.
McCain would have dropped off the next round of balloting anyway as the number 3 choice. McCain’s delegates would naturally go to Huck; it was the smart play. Nothing underhanded, typical politics.
Ha ha. Succint and to the point. Romney thought he could play cut throat early on and he ended up getting his own throat cut. Serves him right, can't say I feel sorry for him.
Make that succinct.
But I've yet to see him take on Democrats like he does conservatives...the Dems in the Senate are his "good friends".
Ahh, a sore winner. Would it kill you to show some class? The man you are dogging is a constitutional lawyer and a Freeper since 1998. He has done more for conservatism than you will ever do with your graceless attacks newbie.
Yes, it would kill him to show some class, he wouldn’t survive the implant operation.
nOOb, Billybob has more class in his smallest fart than you've managed to generate in your entire life.
I see in your profile:
Christian First.
Father and Husband Second.
American and Conservative Third.
Classless, clueless moron
There, fixed if for you
Couldn’t agree more.
While I don’t agree with these backdoor deals and whatever, Romney has no one to blame but himself for the fact that the other candidates are teaming up against him. Its been widely reported for a couple of months that Romney isn’t exactly a popular guy among his fellow candidates, and for good reason. He’s run a very negative campaign against everyone else and now its coming back to bite him at the worst possible time.
Wow, now that IS class. Thanks for showing everyone the way!
I don’t see why this is unfair. In caucuses you get a second choice if your first doesn’t get enough initial support.The McCain people went to Huckabee, fair and square.
The fact is that Romney is a stuffed shirt, an empty vessel and more fake than a 3 dollar bill. Voters don’t like him, no matter how much the conservatives in the media (hannity, Rush etc etc) pump him up.
