| | Political Parties are Private Organizations!
Political parties are private organizations. The constitution makes no provision for them. The Dems & Reps have colluded to establish themselves in an extra-legal manner by having the various states organize and pay for primary elections. Some primaries are open, some closed, some are mere caucuses which may not have state support.
In a free country, and following the constitution strictly, there should be no laws regarding an establishment of party. The Federal Election Commission is a fraud. Remember when Perot was included in the '92 debates? The FEC (with 3 (D) & 3 (R) members) made a rule that in future presidential elections, any third party candidate with 5% or higher polling would be invited. Ross Perot was polling around 10% in 1996 when he was excluded because the Commission decided he was not a "serious" contender.
PARTIES HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL STATUS!
The election system as it is now is a disgrace. I support a run-off election. It seems that the founders intended the general election to be a primary, with the House electing the president if such a run-off were needed.
However the Dems want to chose their demagogue is their own business.
