Ok, in 2000, who did you want for the republican nomination besides bush (and McCain finished a strong second) and in 2008, who did you want ?
Bottom line, the primary system worked because Bush and McCain were our best candidates and I dare you to name someone who was running who was better.

ANYONE was better than McCAin, but you rino’s managed to keep conservatives out of the running. Be proud!
Let’s see. In ‘96 I was disappointed that Bob Dole gamed the system because he wasn’t conservative enough. In 2000 I was disappointed that we didn’t choose someone more conservative. In 2008 it was FReeping obvious that the system is gamed against conservatives like Duncan Hunter.

***Duhh. I was a Hunter fan and I felt McCain wasn’t conservative enough. The only bright spot on the ticket was Sarah Palin.
