Election Primaries

[Hub a Bubba]

The on-going problems with Florida and Michigan demo primaries and the possible re-vote, along with who will pay for the new elections, brings up something I have had on my mind for some time.

WHY are tax payers (Counties, Cities, States) required to foot the bill for political PRIMARIES. I can understand paying for the GENERAL ELECTIONS, but why should I help pay for a political party primary election of which I do not intend to have anything at all to do with. :confused:

Same reason I pay school taxes and have no kids in school. Because they can.
I heard it's a moot point this year. MI and Fl both have decided NOT to have a revote. This is going to get good now. I smell lawsuits. The Dems can't help but shoot themselves in the foot. They are really beginning to look like a bunch of bafoons.

You, being in South Car., may not understand this, but the National Dem Party is beginning to look like the Ms. Dem. Party..........confused, and trying to find a real leader...and by leader I am not talking about Pres. candidate. I am talking about "party operations".
