Shame on party jumpers
I left work today excited about casting my vote in the PA Primary. While driving to my polling place I made the mistake of tuning in to Rush Limbaugh. Why I did this I don't know but I quickly became both sickened and saddened by the conversation taking place.
A listener and "member" of Operation Chaos had called in to tell Rush about his excitement to vote as a Democrat to mess up the election and quickly change his affiliation back to Republican so he would stop craving Tofu and shopping for a Prius. He laughed about the people his wife encountered at the polls who were doing the same thing. And why had he not voted himself yet? Because he is a true Republican and was hard at work.

I am disgusted. I am a Democrat, worked hard all day, drive a Ford at the moment and don't eat Tofu. Wait! I even go to church regularly. I am sickened by the lack of ethics and morals being condoned by this radio personality. Our government is based on a two party system. It works. It's time to stop this pettiness. I am happy to have a civil conversation with anyone about politics. I will listen and hope to be heard also. I may choose to agree or disagree. But I will not stoop to the level of Rush and his Operation Chaos members in an attempt to sabotage a system we should be proud of. Shame on all of you who would.

Make up your mind! I thought the Dems didnt like the system since it caused an election to be "stolen"???
Where was the disgust when the New Hampshire Republican primary was going taking place. There people could vote if they just said they were thinking of moving to the state.
America is a free country and as long as no elections laws were broken the election was fair.
Go Hillary!
It is time for Obama to get out of the race. He can not win a large state, he can not get white liberal democrats to vote for him and he is sucking up all the money Hillary will need in the general election. Hillary has paid her dues and deserves the nomination.
Yup! get out of the race when he is winning. That really made sense.
It's time to change the primary elections. Move all the primaries up to one or two specific dates, maybe allow people to crossover party lines to vote for candidiates. This would eliminate the Rush Limbaughs of the world from messing with the outcomes and insure that republicans would be more interested in securing their nominee than sabotaging the democratic candidates. Dirty politics- yep that's the republican way of life.
I vote for who ever I want to. If that means crossing lines, then tough. Stop your wineing.
You may legally change parties as many times as you like. At least that shows more interest in voting than the large majority of citizens awho are either too lazy or ignorant to vote at all.
