One of my pet peeves

I was having lunch on Wednesday with one of my cohorts in crime (another conservative), and we were talking about the things in government that really light our candles. One such thing with me is the flawed system of the primary elections. I always thought I was the only one who was way out in left field on this one. (Did I just say left field?) I meant RIGHT field! Anyway, we were talking about how long, drawn out, and non-logical the primary election is. The time is long past I am afraid, where a “little guy” can be elected, and libertarians don’t write to me on this one I didn’t mean Ron Paul either. I think the Republicans, (the dems are on their own on this one), should have a nationwide primary election on the same day or two days maximum. Let ALL the people vote at once, so no states can decide early, on who the remaining states will have left to vote for. This would serve two very important purposes, #1 the PEOPLE would decide who the candidate will be, and not some deal brokered in some back room by shady politicians, but then I repeat myself. #2 a real politician of the people who doesn’t have much money in his war chest could actually have a chance at becoming the President. My friend laughed at me, and said that would return us to our roots, and did I think that would ever happen? Of course not, silly me……….I thought about bringing up another one of my pet peeves, but I’m sure term limits for congress might have gotten me laughed out of the restaurant. Logical thinking in government is truly an oxymoron now, it’s really sad to think it’s what our founding fathers wanted!
