My state also has closed primaries, also have to show an ID this year, good on us.

BUT, I want all states like this. What will it take? Are the other states just satisfied with having their elections highjacked, which in the Presidential Election affects all of us, and I am mad as a wet hen.

How much common sense does it take to see what is happening, the people in charge need to wake up.

An open political association like the current Republican Party is one of the stupidest political concoctions anyone ever came up with.

It’s like owning a big mansion on the edge of the ‘hood and putting a big sign on the front lawn that says “anyone who wants to can live here, and if you move in, you and everyone you bring with you will have a say in how the place is run.”

Just how long do you think the place is going to be livable for you and your family?

But is it really going to work out well? It leaves all the moderates to decide the GOP candidate. Aren’t a lot of conservatives no longer registered Republicans?

I don’t like the fact that only 2 candidates I don’t like were in a primary in a state. But I don’t like the fact that Republicans have completely abandoned the rule of law for good. Are we going to be better of when the GOP stands for NOTHING?

I think I read somewhere that in another case a court had ruled that requiring residency for petition circulators was an infringement of voting rights/ballot access. So I have been expecting the court to find in favor of adding the other candidates.

I don't have the answers, but something needs to be done.

If a person wants to run as a Republican they also need to be Republican, NOT LIBRATARIAN, whoever let that bastard child in the Republican party?

That is what makes Ron Paul such a dangerous as well as loony person. He is running in a party of which he is not, that is just dishonest, he is USING everything good about the gullible Republican party and destroying us with it.

If he should win, the populace will then assume that we are all Libertarian idiots. The Democrats will never stop laughing at us.

I can't believe what is happening. Of course I couldn't believe that in 2008 either, but he was a Democrat and it's legal/sport to laugh at them, they don't stand for anything moral anyway. BUT US?????? What has happened to my party, and there is no other party to go to. I'm old and tired.

“My two biggest wishes: Voter ID laws and CLOSED GOP PRIMARIES”

You said it!

Americans should pick American leaders, and Republicans should pick Republican candidates!
