........................"Voters determining who represents them? Surely other, smarter people know more than the voters do.
If you believe that there are others who are smarter than the voters, and if you think that you may be one of them, then beware. Pride goes before a fall.
This past week, Rove's super PAC, American Crossroads, announced that it would soon be wading into Republican primaries. The subgroup, named the Conservative Victory Party, is being started because "there is a broad concern about having blown a significant number of races because the wrong candidates were selected," Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, told Jeff Zeleny of The New York Times.
Law laid out the goal of the organization: "We want to pick the most conservative candidate who can win."
Ah, there is the rub: "We want to pick the candidate."
Which is why we need to use our votes to make them irrelevant. While I agree that choosing fringe candidates may have lost a few races, that is the right of the voters! We have torove that all that money doesn't mean a thing if they don't have the voters behind them.
