No more Asa McRomBushes!

Exactly what Texan Republican Party MUST do!!

It’s lunacy that non-republicans are choosing who the republican party nominates as candidates. (per state where applicable)

“No more Asa McRomBushes!”

Agree! This will TOTALLY anger the Zeepers, as they rely on RINOs to continue the Neocon War in Ukraine.

[sjmjax]

I’ve never understood why it would be any other way.

I don’t get to vote on issues before the board of directors of companies I don’t own stock.

It’s a party nomination. Not a general election.

This problem is so simple...

When Republicans ask state governments to pay for Republican Primaries, Republicans have to play by government rules.

When Republicans pay for their own Primaries, we can play by our own rules.

Open primaries are like a baseball game that lets all the players on both teams vote for your starting lineup.

[lurk]

Open primaries are absurd.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Time to stop the Democrats from choosing Republican candidates.

Georgia, South Carolina

Other than Florida, what other states are closed?

[who knows what evil?]

Exactly...ALL primaries should be closed.

Other than Florida, what other states are closed?

New York, for one.

What would be the point of a party primary where you don't have to be registered in that party to vote in its primary?

Primary election types by state

[paltz]

In 20 states, at least one political party conducts open primaries for congressional and state-level offices.

In 15 states, at least one political party conducts closed primaries for congressional and state-level offices.

In 14 states, at least one political party conducts semi-closed primaries for congressional and state-level offices.

That’s how we ended up getting McCain

[marktwain]

A positive development.

Do away with primaries all together. They are a fairly recent innovation. They give the Media more power, and take it from parties.

Exactly...ALL primaries should be closed.

But they're not. Why? It's part of the fraud.

Unfortunately too late to keep the rats from saving that traitor Phalen.

sues state over recent ‘wet signature’ rule

So, is there an open bar at the closed primary?
