That's interesting, Larry. Why do you that?

I like Mccain in some points, I don't like him in others. I do think
letting people, mostly independents and Democrats voting in a Republican
primary is kind of weird, however. Especially when most Democrats do it
just to get back at Engler. They have no intention of voting for
Republicans regardless. They just want to upset x, y, or z.

Man, Larry. And I thought the leftists on here were bad.

Then why do you bother at all? Why not just vote for Gore and get it
over with? I am tired of hearing that Democrats and Republicans are are
the same, they are not. And until a viable party comes along, I am
sticking with the Republicans. I really don't care who wins the
nomination, as long as Gore/Hillary/Clinton/Bradley, they are all the
same to me, are defeated. I think Mccain is going to get nuked as soon
as the press realizes that he is still a Republican, even though he
doesn't seem to support most of what Republicans stand for.
