How the Republican Primary SHOULD work

[jmowreader]

We'll call it the New Republican Primary. It's made for the Jaded Average Television Viewer to get totally pumped up about politics.

The New Republican Primary combines three beloved American traditions: dirty politics, American Idol and bloodlust.

Here's how it works: Say we have nine Repuke candidates attempting to be president. We stage seven primary dates--grouping the several states into seven Super Tuesdays.

For the buildup to each Super Tuesday, the candidates are only allowed to engage in negative campaigning--the dirtier the better. Then we vote. Whoever gets the fewest votes has to commit seppuku on national television.

When we're down to just two, they have to duel--with duelling pistols--to produce the final candidate.

This will do three things for us. First, it will motivate people to go to the polls. High voter turnout is always good. Second, it will completely eliminate the ability of these morans to ever run for president (or dogcatcher, for that matter) again. And finally, since each prospective Repuke candidate knows there's a 1/x chance he will run for president and an x-1/x chance he'll be killed, it will completely eliminate the desire of anyone to run for president as a Republican.

1. not a tv viewer

however I was thinking in a similar vein.
I was trying to decide which GOP candidate would do the most damage to the GOP chances in 2008.
I was considering making a donation to that candidate.
I'm torn between Ron Paul and Tancredo.....

2. Tancredo

Paul at least shows evidence of a brain stem. This will appeal to some undecided independent voters.
Tancredo.....well, a total bozo. Reminds me of the shrubrepub w/a 3rd grade education.

4. I don't think thats exactly what I meant

I wanted the one who would rip his primary opponents to shreds.

3. I had a similar thought

something like sending $5.00 to the Republican Party, then once on their mailing list enjoying how much it costs for them to send me each request for a donation and having fun with any postage paid envelopes that might arrive with those requests. Hmmmm.........:evilgrin:
