What?!!!

July 3, 2014

What is the media reporting about the senate GOP run off in Mississippi? They say that liberal democrats voted in the GOP primary and boosted Thad Cochran to victory. Huh? How could liberal democratic voters determine a GOP primary? Best I could decipher can’t happen. Seems to me you declare your party affiliation in Mississippi by your vote in the primary or the run off of a primary. Been doing it in Texas for years. If you don’t vote in a primary you are an independent and you can vote in a run off of either party. It has been going on for years in the great state of Texas among those who could hardly be called liberals. As a republican friend of mibirthne opined when Texas was a Democratic leaning state, He said, ” I’m a local democrat and a national republican.”
I think he meant that since only democrats won local races he had to vote in democratic primaries locally to be relevant but his natural leanings were republican. I that are the facts that should have been reported in Mississippi. To opine otherwise is to say that I am a liberal democratic voter by ethnicity. I find this preposterous.
