Did we discuss the Republicans Mischief voting yet?
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 09:45 PM by xultar
They were saying on CNN that 73% of the Repubs that voted for Edwards were 75% in favor of the Bush Administration.

That is huge. I'm telling you Kim Peterson NEOCON Rethug Radio Jerk was promoting Mischief voting to force Kerry to have to spend more money here in GA. HE was telling rethugs to make their vote count and to grab a Dem ballot and to mess in our business.

GA needs to rid itself of open primaries.

Who Agrees?

1. I think ALL Democratic primaries should be void of Republican voters.
How much sense does it make for them to vote in OUR primary. I could agree with the way it is some places where they have to change a certain period of time in advance.

4. The rethugs
were chomping at the bit to do that in WA St too. They fought hard to kept the primaries going, but they lost!

5. I agree, Open Primaries are stupid.
Why should Pukes get to vote in our election? All they do is vote for who would be the weaker candidate against them. It's stupid.

6. Funny...

it seems there wasn't much of that going on in my precinct (I live in GA); the number of voters receiving Republican voting certificates was, by rough estimate, TWICE that of people receiving Democratic certificates (took a glance at the clipboards they had out on the table, and the Republican sheet had about twice as many names).

That said, open primaries are stupid.

7. Please, if there were any Republicans voting, they would pick the weakest.
...candidate with the least chance of beating Bush.

Guess what? They got EXACTLY what they voted for :grr:
