The RNC/GOP has been nominating only amnesty candidates since the last amnesty.
It was not accidental.
Does anyone really believe McAmnesty was the choice of Republican voters after TWO amnesty attempts?
Romney? The only guy who could not credibly run against Obamacare because he invented it.
How many times does this need to be posted?

Parties get federal funding for the elections. They are dependent on big government. It is a subsidy of speech with my tax money against my freedom of speech. It is no wonder we cannot find arguments to stop funding Planned Parenthood and other party speech and ideologies to brainwash the young.
Teump is not a savior and probably would not help in that direction, but it is an interesting mechanism that could lead in that direction. Not sure if they will let it happen. An assassination colusion between all parties, terrorists and what not could very well happen
Thanks for posting this article. I didn’t see it before.
A noble entrepreneur and activist, he finds interest in civil liberties, the drug war, economic justice, foreign policy, geopolitics, government corruption, the police state, politics, propaganda, and social justice. Just to name a few. …Gotta love that Bernabe fellow.
(Yes, there are FEC rules for party primaries)
Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention , including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.
I have never seen so much dishonesty at this level. No more caucuses or other shenanigans. Let the people vote for ALL the delegates not 17 out of 71 as in Pennsylvania as an example.
Seems it goes much deeper that that.
AMERICA FOR SALE?
Let me see if I have this right!
Early American elections have been about competing ideas on how best to guide the country toward the Founders Constitutionally articulated goals and principles . Sadly, more recent electoral contests have become battles between those who wish to more closely adhere to those early goals and those advancing increasingly alien systems of government, some of which seek the outright abandonment of the Founders’ vision.
Both the early and more recent elections have always been about persuading enough fellow citizens to support a candidate’s or party’s position. It’s why there’re called “elections”.
The modern electronic media driven campaigns have raised the cost of getting out the competing messages to a level where only those who have or have access to large sums need apply. And, although we began as a “republic” (the rule of law, i.e., the Constitution), elections are the unavoidable and potentially troublesome democratic aspect of the process for which no one wishing to maintain the remaining freedoms we still enjoy has found a substitute.
With the recent controversy involving “delegate” selection by local and state party elites comes a new and rather frightening development.
Probably due to Trump having upset the “established order”, it seems that campaigns are no longer buying persuasive media to get the word out to the general election voters, THEY’RE BUYING DELEGATES in an effort to stack the deck at the nominating conventions. Since they only have to persuade a few thousand citizens as opposed to trying to reach millions in the general population later, it’s cheaper and they can effectively dictate and limit the choices the general voters will have on election day!
Question: Can someone explain why this isn’t the same thing as bribing members of a jury to secure a desired verdict?
But I’m far less troubled by some miscreant bribing jurors than I am by what’s going on right now as you read this. While the verdict in a rigged jury situation hurts or damages the entity or entities who were the victims of the tampering, the eventual victim of what can only be called delegate tampering is the entire nation and, if an agent of one of those alien systems is the beneficiary of the tampering, will be the very futures of your children and grandchildren!
Have we really become the philosophical eunuchs the Founders feared? Have we really sunk this low?
Please tell me where I’ve got this wrong. I really DO want to be wrong on this one!

I did not create this statement, but I subscribe to it for the most part:
“If voting could really change anything, it would be illegal.”
Lol the year 80% of america learned how our electoral process works because they didn’t pay attention in high school us government class.
