IMAOI just don't get this primary process. It's like primary voters are even dumber than general election voters. You'd think in an election where only Republicans vote, a conservative would run away with it. So why are any of the other candidates than Fred Thompson still in this? This should be a simple choice for Republicans like "Do you want to eat a piece of crap or prime rib?" Yet, Republican primary voters are saying, "Well, these pieces of crap have been around for a while and I've spent some time considering eating them. The prime rib came in too late. I'm going to eat a piece of crap," or, "The prime rib is showing no energy. These pieces of crap have so much buzzing around them. I'm going to eat one of them," or, "That prime rib never spent any time in my state until now. I'm going to eat a piece a crap to teach it a lesson!" or, "Eating this piece of crap would be a great way to identify myself as a Christian!"
Now that the prime rib has pointed to a piece of crap and said, "That's a piece of crap," some people are finally saying, "Yeah. I guess it is. Maybe I should have the prime rib," but why couldn't people figure that out for themselves? I know we couldn't have this for the general election, but can't we have some sort of IQ test for the Republican primary to get rid of the dummies? Things would go much better if we could just weed out the people who are just going to go into the voting booth or caucus and eat crap.
