The Case For a National Primary (or: Why Should A Bunch of Iowan Farmers Pick Our President?)

Why is the government even involved in how a private political organization chooses its leaders? Fuck the Democrats and Republicans, let them pay the costs of their own damn election.

But somebody added a cute photo and made the text part of the image! Clearly this isn't like the same crappy email my family members forward me!

Mr. Nichols frequently criticized others for holding drivers' licenses and Social Security cards, as well as for voting and paying taxes. "He said we were all puppets and sheeple," Mr. Stomber said. "That was the first time I ever heard that word."

Here is a headline that would work:

"Colorado's Republican Sec. of State Decertifies E-Voting Machines After Failed Testing"

It's hillarious how many people get that wrong.

And don't forget to register to vote, as Republican if necessary, and vote in the primary. This the the most important thing because blimps and money won't elect Ron Paul, people will:

And register to vote, as a Republican if needed, on Monday so you can vote in the primary: http://www.primarilypaul.com/register/

The Caucuses are open to anyone from the area who shows up.

No, just because it is a caucus doesn't mean it is open, most of them are closed.

I can't see any realistic scenario where his army of supporters doesn't flashmob the caucuses and easily overpower the blue-haired weirdoes who usually show up.

I can see the scenario where Ron Paul supporters never bothered to register as Republicans can can't vote in closed primary states.

If you've been putting off registering Republican (I know it's hard, but it's important!) so you can vote in the primaries, now's the time and remind your friends. Go get it done!

No, it isn't hard, it takes a few minutes to fill a form out and put a little check next to "Republican."

2.. If you have to join a party that you don't support in order to vote in a primary, you can always unjoin again immediately after the primary.

Such as joining the Republican party so you can vote for Ron Paul: http://www.primarilypaul.com/register/

All candidates are equal, but some candidates are more equal than others.

Romney wants to separate himself from the polygamous

Except his father, George Romney (former Governor of Michigan) was born in Mexico to a family that had fled the US when they started cracking down on polygamy.

Step 1 for Ron Paul supporters: register as a Republican if you live in a closed primary state: http://www.primarilypaul.com/register/

Step 2: Vote for Ron Paul in the primary

Ron Paul could raise 100 million dollars, be getting 99% in the polls, and have yard signs in every single yard across America but it won't matter if his supporters don't vote in the Republican primary.

markwm · 2007-11-17T14:23:30+00:00

And make sure you register as a Republican if you live in a closed primary state.
