There's no hate here. Just a 'gotcha' story that has brought some laughter into some lives of otherwise oppressed individuals. Who hasn't laughed when someone split their pants?
My primary interest with this story is that you have to buy a vote to cast, she bought 4k and gave them out. Dr Paul sold his at a substantial discount, but sold them none the less. Who's got the money to waste on poll voting? It's fair if everyone buys a ticket. More people than not are barely making it by thanks to the gov's superior ideology.

No harm I suppose. Just my opinion.

In case anyone doesn't understand how this works there. It's not about vote but organizational ability. The vote merely represents you ability to organize your support. This means money, free buses, food, tickets, whatever, to get your people there to cast that vote.
Those who fail at this do not have to motivational prowess to organize a viable campaign, so they drop out. Bachmann and Paul has the most ability to organize. Pawlenty did not and he dropped out.
The next chapter will be New Hampshire where the State is small enough for door to door contact and so forth. This vote cannot be about purchase but winning the argument of ideas. This primary will test the candidates, and those who lack the ability to win the argument will drop out. Those in the top three will go on to the next step and so forth.
So Iowa was not an election but a symbol of organizational power and ability. So the whole bought the vote thing means nothing because that was the idea in the first place. It was a " Caucus " not a " Primary ".
I think the problem with everything lies in how we elect officials, or more specifically in how we elect the president.

Because, although left leaners think that having liberty is what they want, they really only want their own special brand of liberty, which usually means trashing anything religious. Bunch of hypocrites.
