Agreed. The state in which the poster to whom you responded lives allows "cross-over" voting in the primaries. In fact, her state does not require party registration.
True. I am in that same Open Primary State. You can vote in either Parties Primary but only in one, not both. It allows me to make my choice as a Indy.
It funny how so many people can be blinded. The mindset of republicans is get rid of Obama at all cost and they don't care which republicans wins as long as its a republican. But how do they know if any of the republicans will be better than Obama? In fact they could be worse. Just because a president share your political views, that doesn't make him a good president or leader. But thats the way they think. They would rather for this country to go to hell in a hand basket than to see Obama re-elected. The current candidates have serious flaws in my opinion. How can a republican who is against Obamacare support a GOP candidate who's healthcare plan was the model template for Obamacare? Of course Romney tries to backpedal and say his plan was not meant for the entire country, but his past statements say otherwise. Gingrich was a supporter of universal healthcare too. For republicans who are tired of us fighting these wars in the middle east, understand that if a republican is elected president this year, the first thing on his foreign policy agenda is to attack Iran. We'll be stuck there for 8 years after removing their government heads.
I can understand why Katzpur as gone more toward the Democratic Party. The Repugs have their ranks filled with religious bigotry. They try their very best to put a good face on things, but you will notice that at no time were the GOP voters even considering Jon Huntsman as their next "not Mitt Romney" candidate. Huntsman will never be that guy an it's because he's Mormon too. They already tried to sell Rick Perry -- a man whose convictions switch the instant that it stands to gain him more political power -- as a "true conservative" and nobody argued with it. There couldn't have been a bigger load of BS. They'll be willing to support anyone. Newt, Santorum or Bachmann. But I guarantee "that other Mormon" won't ever be the next "not Romney" fad, and it's because he's a Mormon.
If the Mormons start leaving the Republican Party in droves, it's no more than the GOP deserves.
What, you're a Mormon? Thought they didn't drink coffee.
Huntman an alternate for Romney? huh? One RINO for another? How's that an alternative? Ironic to have this in a thread where so many are talking about closed-mindedness. Open your mind and you'd see they are not really alternatives to each other and it has ZERO to do with their religion.
You can look at the vote and figure out the demographics pretty easily. The evangelicals went for Santorum, and the rest went for Romney. The party leadership in Iowa really is dominated by evangelicals, but they don't control who turns out to caucus.
The "rest"? He got only 25% of the vote and less than he got 4 years ago even though turnout was somewhat better. Romney will try to make the most of this, but it shows he is a weak candidate with only tepid support among conservatives. I think he will get the nomination but I see a "Bob Dole" outcome in the end.
so it appears all you have to say is GOD GOD GOD and win IOWA.
They come in drones like pod people and vote which every way the church tells them too.
Huckabee and Santorium so maybe he story is true IOWA doesnt matter!!!
This is what discredits the Iowa caucuses, and not a Ron Paul win, like what the media talking heads wanted everyone to think. Iowa is pushing out religious ethnophobic, war mongering, gay bashing, bigots in a row. The bible-thumpers absolutely disgusts me. Grand Bigoted Party, indeed.
and what is that supposed to mean, what is the prime example of a Christian? I have never known we have certain criteria that makes us Christiams?
Nita
ahh...I'm pretty sure one of the criteria is to believe in Jesus Christ?
