That's why I just reregistered as a DEM. It's the only fun primary game in town.

Good for you. Also, alert any fellow N.Y.ers that if they want to play in the same game they need to register as dems before the November elections.

N.Y. Election laws do not let you vote in a party primary if you have not voted as a member of that party in the general election. All N.Y.ers have until early October to change registration if they want to vote for Sharpton in the Presidential Primary.

Thanks for the advice, Betty Jane. The problem is that most of my friends here are libs and will vote DEM anyway.
I have people telling me how much they like and respect Hillary and how more government spending will stimulate the economy. I don't understand their thinking and how truly misinformed so many people are. I'm 59 years of age and most of my friends are in the 50's or 60's (with some notable younger exceptions). We are all university educated people of fairly substantial means. It amazes me how many people don't know the influence of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergers, et. al. on government policy. Also, the numbers of people who think that the Federal Reserve is a part of the U.S. government and not a private cabal of the most powerful banking houses and investment bankers in the world. They dictate the money supply (Constitutionally the job of the House of Reps.) and manipulate the economy. When we pay our taxes, for example, the money doesn't go to the Treasury, it goes to the Fed to pay off debt. When the gov. needs more money, it borrows from the Fed. It's about as bad as having a MasterCard or VISA, with an unlimited line of credit, and spending with impunity and then just making the minimum monthly payments.

There are three apartments in my building. My two neighbors are politically active and Repubs. I'll pass on your advice about changing their registration and voting for big Al. I'm not that familiar with the law, but I'm assuming one can reregister, pretty much, at will.
