Yes maybe Fred did get into the race too late but when do you start? 1, 2, 3, 4 years before the Iowa Caucus? Do you move to Iowa and praise the wonders of Ethanol for a year?

Once Fred did get into the race he spent every minute touring the state. As soon as that was over he got on the bus to South Carolina and spent every minute campaigning there. In the debates he questioned Global Warming while the others didn't until he spoke up. So spare me the lazy talking point. Try to think on your own.

If you want to fix something fix the way our candidate is selected. By the time you get to the Republican only primary states the MSM has already picked our candidate. If the RNC pulls the same crap next time they can stick their RINO where the sun don't shine. I'm writing in who I want. I voted for the biggest RINO of all. I won't again. Maybe I'll write in Fred if Palin isn't on the ballot.

Happened to me too,my primary vote had no affect on the presidential election.

If the party wants support, especially money,they had better find a way to make these primaries closed or on the same day.

Great...I agree with everything you just wrote...it was beautiful

...BUT do you know WHO PLAYED THE FRIGGIN DIRTY TRICK ON HIM in Iowa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And that, my FRiend, is the crux of the matter. Here is what I would like to see, from a thread I posted right after the election:

Close all republican presidential primaries. Allowing non party members to choose the nominees of the party makes as much sense as allowing China to vote in our national elections.

Establish five set dates for presidential primary elections between May and July of the year of the election. Separate the 50 states into five groups of ten states each. Rotate the groups each election cycle. Americans are paying billions of dollars for ethanol subsidies that have no practical purpose other than to set the ground work for members of congress seeking the Iowa caucus vote in the next presidential cycle.

I think if FReepers want to make a real contribution to national politics this would be a good place to start.
