I'm not a citizen of Wisconsin, I'm a citizen of Colorado, hence the difference. If I were a citizen of Wisconsin I would have been just as opposed to doing this as I am as a citizen of Colorado. I am opposed to allowing people to claim affiliation on the eve of caucuses and primaries in all instances, as well as same day voter registration in my state. The level of corruption the citizens of other states are comfortable with in their own state politics is of no concern to me, but corruption in my state is an entirely different matter.

Indeed we don't. Any excursion from the party line sees us called "liberal". Well when it comes to spending and paying their bills they are the "liberals".

Indeed, after most of them were tossed to the curb in the rush by the electorate to give voice to their anger at the way these moderate Republicans had conducted themselves during the last 6 or 8 years and send those who were going to institute change they could believe in, it is small wonder that there are significantly fewer of them after the same electorate realized with horror what they had done in 2008 and sent new officials to put an end to the Democrat fiefdom that was running amok in DC.

Gotta hand it to you, PS, in that weird universe you live in you can always find a way to blame all the problems of that universe on people who don't even live in it.

rofllol
I'm even MORE motivated now to reregister and do what I can to ensure that the moderates give the nutters a run for their money...
Many of those moderate republicans still remain, because they did not come up for election in 2010. Were gonna have round 2 in 2012, if the entire economy does not collapse before then, and were gonna get rid of the rest of these moderate compromisers.
They along with the democrats got us into the mess you see today.
Yep, round one, and that's about all you geriatric whiners are up to. I've been to Tea Party meetings, half of you aren't even going to be alive in 2012. Consult an actuarial table if you doubt me.
I wouldn't count on doing anything but going right to the mat in "round two".

Oh come now AV, surely you recognize a mirroring of the satire that you contributed in my reply. Neither of us were being serious, were we?
