You know I think it'd be great if we said that no public funds can go into Parties choosing their nominees. If we did that we'd have parties choosing their nominees through regular party processes and we wouldn't have that abomination we have as Republican Party nominee right now.
Well, if the Republicans didn't have public money holding the two party system in place, then the abomination that is the Republican party would only get about 25% of the vote...and would become simply a right wing, religious based, third party that would be fading into obscurity.
Face it, John...the Republican party has become a party of religious, backward thinking nut jobs.
Fiscally conservative, socially liberal, personal responsibility folks are the norm...but they are divided between the Democrats and the Republicans, allowing themselves to be held hostage by the lunatic fringe on both sides.
This year is the death knell of the religious whack jobs' hold on the national Republican party. Of course, you could always try to recruit the Muslin hard liners into the fold.
Too bad the Dems didn't crack. The establishment has a hold on Clinton and the dimwitted, selfish, idiotic, gubmint-take-care-of-me minority votes. We need more people like DSU and that singer to convince others that this is a fantastic country when we stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated by a few wealthy folks who play to the clowns on the extremes of both sides of the aisle.
You have been sucked into Idiotville, John. Congrats!
