I am sick of all these liars (especially the Democrat liars) and criminals (especially the Democrat criminals). All these date changes are making a mockery of a system that has already earned the disdain of intelligent Americans. As far as the conventions go, they are nothing but a useless charade (for both sides). They are scripted, predictable, boring, and useless. So don't have conventions and have the primaries at reasonable and traditional intervals. This is a freaking waste of our time.

There is a strong probability that the candidates for the general election will be selected by sometime in February ... so what happens immediately after that ... They can not qualify for nor receive any federal election matching funds until after their conventions because that is when they are officially named as their party's candidate ... So ... Does that mean we might get a lull in the BS ads and such until after the conventions in the summer? ... These idiots kept pushing these dates up as a means of keeping their Bush bashing on the front pages of the MSM ... that isn't working because we are winning in Iraq ... and the word is getting out despite their efforts to keep that from happening ... So ... It made me wonder if they have even taken into consideration what they are going to do between these ridiculously early primaries and the conventions ... Anyone seen anything regarding that side of this stupidity? I would like to pose a question …

They can not qualify for nor receive any federal election matching funds until after their conventions because that is when they are officially named as their party’s candidate …

So …

Does that mean we might get a lull in the BS ads and such until after the conventions in the summer? …

These idiots kept pushing these dates up as a means of keeping their Bush bashing on the front pages of the MSM … that isn’t working because we are winning in Iraq … and the word is getting out despite their efforts to keep that from happening …

So …

It made me wonder if they have even taken into consideration what they are going to do between these ridiculously early primaries and the conventions …

Anyone seen anything regarding that side of this stupidity?

I'm sick of all the selfish political pandering stuff by the candidates and their parties NOW. I may have to try to get deployed overseas somewhere in the next few months to escape. The rule we should implement is that nobody can run until the actual year of the election (for a regular November election). Is it the day after election day–the general, not the primaries–yet??

In other words, the sitting POTUS will have to stop governing and start campaigning halfway through his term. On the other hand, earlier primaries would justify holding an earlier general election. I propose a constitutional amendment that all Federal elections be held on April 15. chsw This backward crawl of the primaries will effectively shorten the next president’s term by forcing the campaigns to begin in early 2011.

The lag time we have in 2008 between the selection and conventions will feature some of the worst mudslinging we'll ever see, and it's all so not necessary. I predict the pundits will be wringing their hands next November wondering why turnout was so low, when the answer is the complete burnout on the campaign the average voter will have. Here in Maryland we may do a little better because of two hot ballot issues (legalizing slot machines and adopting early voting) but nationally people will likely skip the process and that's a crying shame.
