How can that be?

GOPe. I am saying exactly, ND Republican voters have no mechanism to vote for a candidate this year. The "caucus" will be decided by delegates to the state party convention which, by the way, is having trouble getting the delegate slots filled. Convention in Fargo, 1-4 April.

“GOPe. I am saying exactly, ND Republican voters have no mechanism to vote for a candidate this year.”

I can’t believe the people of North Dakota are just going to take that kind of disenfranchisement sitting down.

Where are the lawsuits?

[T. P. Pole]

Yes

[Salvation]

Good question!

Well then, I suggest you take it up with them because as I said, I had not heard this.

Yes, Kansas WAS disorganized! I too wonder about results. I’ve only met 2 people who voted Cruz, and I saw a few there with cruz buttons on, but I seriously doubt he won by the margins they say he won by.

We need to get Kansas back to primaries, too much funny business can happen at these caucuses. I know quite a few Trump supporters that couldn't make it to the 4 hour window that made up our caucus.

At least with primaries, they have all day to be able to get in and vote. That could be why Trump had a slight edge in polling in Kansas but lost by a wide margin as the 4 hour window just wasn't enough time and who knows what funny business can go on at them. Cruz could have still ended up the winner in a primary but it would have been much closer, IMO.

I've come to the conclusion, I don't like or trust caucuses.

Re: “If you think Hillary will crush Trump you are one of the biggest fools on FR.”

This is a once in a lifetime business opportunity for you, Ohio.

There are thousands of other "fools" at Election Betting Odds.com who will give you 5-1 odds on that bet.

I suggest you re-fi the house and go all in!

I’ll take it. See you in November.

You are safe then...

“My kids have LDS friends and they have great manners.

I had some good LDS friends in high school. The one closest to me died young of cancer. I don’t know as many now as I don’t move in their circles.

“It’s a creed for many and just because it’s not for me I’m sure not going to act like I’m superior to those born into it”

I wouldn’t call it a creed because for me that makes it sound like just another denomination of Christianity. It’s not, if anything it’s a 19th century variation on Gnosticism, borrowing Christian forms for an entirely different purpose.

I suspect that Paul was writing about some other Gnostic group when he penned the opening of Galatians but it always makes me think of the ‘Angel Moroni’:

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.”

I opined a bit more frankly on Mormons here:

To: Catsrus
It’s simple

Their Christianity is plain different

They can believe as they want or born into

I would never say otherwise but when I read Smiths musings it gives me pause

And I like Mormons as a rule

It’s such an unusual happenstance just popping up in New York and the Midwest based on the dreams of one man and predicated on sexual mores that folks had to find troubling

Great way to very quickly expand a brand new religion though

And once established then do away with what made the church what it was so fast....literally 2-4 generations

Does your average run of the mill parishioner believe the Moroni book and that Smiths dreams were real and divine as say the burning bush

I don’t know

I would not make a good Mormon given I’m non conformist and rebellious and anti authority by nature

Yeah I remember seeing that post too. In fact I think it was that post with “Their Christianity is plain different” that prompted me to write. I like Mormons as people but the Mormon religion isn’t a form of Christianity. It’s borrows bits and pieces of the bible but teaches something entirely at variance with Christian theology. Gnosticism did something similar in the first century.
