First of all, here’s where I stand on the issue of independent voters:

In United States politics, the term independent voter typically refers to an enrolled voter who is explicitly not a member of any political party…….

Now, the purpose of a primary election is defined as:

…primary elections are one means by which a political party nominates candidates for the following general election

In New Hampshire, and a few other states as well, independent voters are allowed to vote in any party primary they choose.  This is nuts.  This is an intentional means to fraud any party primary.  Here’s how.  It’s very simple.  If an “independent” is truly a die-hard member of one party, all they have to do is show up en masse and vote for a candidate of the the other party that can not be elected.  In today’s election, Obama has already pretty much tied up the win.  Why keep voting for him when you can make your vote even more productive by voting for someone you know he can beat in the general.  Someone like McCain maybe?  How do we know these “independents” are really switching to McCain or just making a stand that Romney or Huckabee are vulnerable?

I really don’t like this practice of letting people outside of a party determine that party’s candidate.  I really don’t.

    Because Google will do it. I get people from all over the planet. No way I can handle every language.
