OPEN PRIMARIES
Open Primaries allow democrats to chose republican candidates and that's why zillions of busloads of ACORN/SEIU volunteers descended like locusts on primary states in 2008.
That is the way it is here in Montana. Efforts have been made to change the Open Primary system, but they are fought successfully every session by the Democrats, who always vote in a bloc.
We recently had an old, “eccentric” gentleman who ran for election to the Senate. He had run in every election for years. First as a Democrat, then as an Independent and finally as a Republican.
His stump speech always addressed his belief that America should adopt a Parlimentary system of government. That was it. Nothing about current issues. I am sure that Democrats crossed the line and voted for him in the Primary. He was the easiest to beat.
Some Republicans insisted that a Democrat would not want to miss a chance to vote for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. I pointed out that they didn’t really care which one of them won because they are both radical leftists who would have the same policies.
The goofy old man won that Primary, but of course was not elected. Open Primaries are a tool that the Democratsuse with great success.
