GOP Excludes “Undeclared” Voters
I dutifully went to my local polling place this morning to vote. I approached the 3-4 white haired women volunteers sitting behind the desk in the corner and proudly announced my arrival. I signed the register as instructed and waited for my ballot. The woman on the end said “you are undeclared, you can have either the Democratic ballot or the Independent ballot, but not the Republican ballot”.
Recognizing the confused expression on my face, she continued without me saying anything. “When you registered to vote you did not declare party affiliation. In
WHAT???????!!!!!!!
According to California Republican Party spokesman Hector Barajas the California GOP decided to exclude unaffiliated voters in February in the belief that only registered Republicans should be able to select the presidential nominee.
Has the California GOP lost it’s freaking mind? When did R.P. McMurphy and Cheswick start running the milieu? Is this how the GOP grows its base and invites everyone to join them under the big tent?

So, I’ll bet you’re wondering what I did. Since I was prohibited from voting for a Republican presidential candidate… I voted for Obama. Before you start spamming me with your hate mail, consider my logic. First, it would do no good to write in a Republican candidate since the Republicans will not accept a vote, even a write-in, from an undeclared. Second, the Libertarian (Independent) candidates who were available to me on the ballot are not an acceptable alternative. Third, it felt good to give the GOP a deserving finger wave from under my chin. Lastly, a vote for Obama is a vote against Hillary. Since I couldn’t vote for the person I want, I voted against the person I don’t want. Makes perfect sense to me. Now I have to wait for the general election to cleanse myself. Gawd, I feel so dirty.

Exactly!
What a coincidence that ONLY the REP. party had a CLOSED PRIMARY yesterday, knowing Congressman Ron Paul’s faithful following is derived from the independent rank and file voters (i.e. me).
Unfortunately, NOT everyone re-registered from IND to REP in time, and even that didn’t help in a lot of cases in CA, because the poll workers were instructed to tell voters registered IND on the log book who had switched to REP by 1/22/08 (deadline) that even though they made the deadline they would NOT be allowed to vote REP, but have to vote IND as recorded by their name in the register. I kid you not! This happened to me and tons of others in CA.
I had to stand toe:toe with the officious one running the polling place trying to steal my vote for Congressman Ron Paul by NOT allowing me to vote REP, even though my sample ballot I received in the mail, 2/4/08, from the same L.A. County Registrar/Recorder’s office, clearly stated I was now registered REP (it was stamped REP 015 on both sides).
The other poll worker had to call the L.A. County Registrar/Recorder’s Office and use my sample ballot as a reference to finally get the L.A. County Registrar/Recorder’s Office to O.K. my voting REP. Totally unacceptable!
Why? Well,,first the intimidation and prestidigitation (they slipped me an IND ballot the first time) would more than likely have kept most people from challenging them, but I’m NOT like the wee l’il sheeple brainwashed by the MSM, I said I wasn’t leaving until I got to vote REP.
The L.A. County REG/REC’s Office finally did give them the o.k. to let me vote REP, but I had to sign the log with my name and it showed I was registered IND still, which was incorrect as my sample ballot I was holding proved I had changed to REP for this primary to vote for Dr. Ron Paul. I’m NOT a REP. and don’t want to be, but I had to do this to vote for him.
The CLOSED (collapsed tent) Primary made sure of that. It was an obvious attempt to backdoor unexpected and unprepared voters (i.e. yourself) and keep them from voting for Dr. Ron Paul.
Precisely another reason why his #’s were even below Giuliani’s in CA!
I can’t stand CA’s slimy, sleazy way of doing things. The DEM Primary was OPEN, why not make it the same on both sides of the aisle.
Stacking the deck in your favor is what VEGAS does, we don’t need “gambling initiatives” do balance the budget in CA! We need to get rid of slimy, sleazy self-serving big bro govt. bureaucraps like Schwarzenegger so that we can elect constitutionalists like Dr. Ron Paul and reclaim our lives, liberties, and pursuit of happiness.
Life in America has become more and more like AMERIKA (i.e. soviet union, china) because wee l’il sheeple are too stupid and too busy or too apathetic to rise up, speak out, and vote for the ONE and ONLY true candidate of change We the People really need; namely: Congressman Ron Paul.
Join the rEVOLution!
Heed the call…Ron Paul 4 all!
