Essentially you're saying that you don't have any passion for your own candidate, but you'll devote your energies to manipulate the american electoral process by misusing the freedoms built into it. The democratic party is the "big tent" and everybody is welcome. You participate in the exploitation of that american value in an attempt to confound the process. And you do this so that you can feel part of some bloated radio host's show. If he gave you money or 'consideration' for your actions, it would be illegal. As it is, it's just reprehensible.

One of the candidates he eliminated, long-shot contender Gha-is Askia, now says that Obama's petition challenges belied his image as a champion of the little guy and crusader for voter rights. "Why say you're for a new tomorrow, then do old-style Chicago politics to remove legitimate candidates?" Askia said. "He talks about honor and democracy, but what honor is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?" --- NO BIG TENT. Small tent if you asked me.

And you did forget to mention that ... >>Gha-is Askia, said he has no hard feelings today about the challenge and supports Obama's presidential aspirations.<< <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITI...dex.html</a>

And of course none of that excuses your eager participation in a stunt designed to corrupt our electoral process. >> You're so high and mighty about the whole thing. << Unlike what sean hannity will tell you, that's being a "good american". But you wouldn't know anything about that.

Which really is tantamount to admitting to treason, disrupting the process and attempting to disfranchise voters. Moreover, it's a cowardly approach, no better than when Mayor Daley or other political machines attempted to fix elections. maybe you'd be happier with Mugabe.

And in a real show of talk radio's mighty power, John McCain won the nomination, in spite of constant wails from Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and any other right wing blowhard.

Originally Posted By woody >>Which really is tantamount to admitting to treason, disrupting the process and attempting to disfranchise voters.<< No, voting who you want will not "disfranchise" voters. It's the opposite. Treason? That's a poor use of words. Treason to whom? To the Republican or Democratic Party? Typical Commie. Remember, the voters much follow the rules of their own local election officials. Unless they are breaking the rules, they can vote as they wish. Some Primaries allow any one to vote for whatever candidate. Others make you change your affliation if you have to vote Democratic or Republican.
