LG; I don't have what you could call an affiliation, like I never vote any straight party ticket. For the sake of primaries I register at this time as Democrat , in my county if you don't register as one or the other you don't get to vote in the primaries. I think that ought to be undone, let all people vote in both primaries it would work out in the wash. Affiliation is a slippery slop & to much like the old machine politics for me, also it gives way to a spoils system instead of a meritorious one. They may talk about the spoils system in past tense like it's nothing but history, but it's alive and well down here in Texas, and in a lot of other parts of the country as well. ---------------------- I see a North Carolina Fed Judge gave a decision to Big Tobacco the other day. What would you expect from any Judge in North Carolina to do. The fact that it's a Tobacco State should have had him disqualifying himself on grounds of conflict of interest. But no he was happy to obliged. Have you ever read the book, " The Best Judges Money can Buy" ? Jim
