if you dont care to read this, florida and michigan democrats are scheduling their primaries before jan 22, before the earliest primaries which have always been new hampshire and iowa.  this is fucking lame because their rationale is "candidates should care more about us"  where do you draw the line?  why not schedule them for december, or november?  well the democratic candidates are all refusing to campaign there if they go through with this.  but they are gonna do it anyways, and sue the democratic party, which is ridiculous.  why are these fucktards shooting my party, their own party, in the foot?

its bad enough we have had campaigning going on earlier than ever before, which makes this presidential race more about the power of the dollar than ever.

according to the new hampshire consititution, the state must have the first primary in the nation.  not including caucuses, so i don't think they'd be able to jump the gun like that, but you make a good point about where to draw the line.

sorry, but all kidding aside, obviously I care and a lot of other people do too.

I thought that this was another "fuck the liberals" and "stupid liberal media" thread, and was so ready to hate on you, but then I read it.  I agree, but it is the entire system, dems and republicans, that is fucked up

no, right now it is way to partisan, people cant come to an agreement on anything, and nothing gets done.

i dont think its fair to include the political party in your rationale for it being rediculous. i agree, it is pointless and inconvenient but i think it coud have just as easily been a republican or any other party member for that matter. i also think that it is just a few people making a futile struggle with the view that that worst thing that could happen is they dont get their way, i mean it only 2 states.

umm dude I said I'm a democrat, thats why I'm concerned.

sorry to be a dick but I am gonna have to do this.  this is one of the stupidest posts I have ever seen, and if it wasnt for the fact that there is too much interchange/information to turn your post into a golden wheelchair winner, I would say you should get it for sure.  I mentioned the democrats, because they are the PARTY INVOLVED.  its like saying "why did you mention OJ simpson robbed someone, it could just as easily have been kevin federline"  yeah, but it wasnt.  I am talking about a news event.

also, the worst that could happen is the democratic party gets tied up in a lawsuit and no democrats do any campaigning for the primaries in michigan and florida...

"I mean its only 2 states" shows that you know nothing about U.S. politics

I am sorry if you are very young or from another country and don't understand the significance of this.  but wow, just wow.  I am blown away.

agreed on this one. and that "it's only 2 states" quote from above is hilariously stupid. I hadn't even heard about this until now and I agree it's a bad move but I'd like to see the other half of the argument if anyone wants to step in.
oh, and to the idiot some ways above me. I care.

This thread is walking a knife edge of going into complete and utter shit, but before it does, heres my take on the actual issue that was brought up:

Its not going to pass. Despite the fact that some douchebag politicians have once again made this a partisan issue, setting these primaries earlier defeats the fucking point of having primaries. Setting them earlier wont help the public decide on a candidate, it would just cause more non-resolution and bickering over the said winner within the party itself. So no, its a stupid idea and I believe that enough intelligence still exists in our government to stop this from happening.

I imagine moving primaries has something to with collecting campaign funds and the turnover of the fiscal year for the US Government.  Other than that, I don't really have any good ideas.
