Actually that freepers thread has given me an idea.
In the primaries and caucuses, registered Democrats should elect the Republican nominee, and vice versa.

Wouldn't that be loads more fun? :D

2. It's the criminal mindset, right off the bat it's "what can I do to game this?"
No surprise, what do you expect from that bunch of psychopaths & spoilers.

4. It's legal, and it's a strategy, not psychopathic.
I thought people from both sides in states where it's allowed always did that.

15. Then turn it into a full-ass one.
If it's legal, I think it's kosher. You use it to the best of your advantage. From what I'm reading of what's been happening in Iowa, it's not like secret operatives were in effect, people KNEW who were usually democrat or republican or independent.

It beats getting votes from dead people.

You combat it by being more organized. Your volunteers will save your keister... or destroy it, like in one of the caucus threads from Iowa, where the precinct captains weren't taking their jobs seriously and were more into socializing.

10. I almost feel sorry for the Republican voters.
They have to pick one out of that line-up of fucking freaks.

14. that was always my dear old dad's philosophy
vote in the primaries for the republican's weakest link. One of the many pieces of wisdom he instilled in me from my youth.
