1. Why in the hell do we allow South Carolina to have a voice in the primaries

If it HAS to be a souther why not Virginia instead?

[Bicoastal]

2. We should just put all 50 states into a huge lotto box, and pull them out at random...

...and then designate THAT order for the state primaries?

Wouldn't it be funny if the first state to come up was ALASKA?! :rofl:

3. What exactly does that mean?

And I'm from NC with no voice. Why is New Hampshire more worthy? Is it the racial make-up? The wealth of it's citizens? What exactly should preclude SC from having a voice? I'm really interested. I mean, you must have some very good reasons. If not, it just looks like an uninformed person spouting an uninformed opinion. Should southern states even get to vote? Why even have an election? Why not just ask you what's best and do that? Right?

4. South Carolina is the most racist state in the union is why they shouldn't have a voice

That's why we get uber-racist GOP canidates like GWB etc, etc. I just think a primary state should have mental concepts that are in the current century we're living in.

9. What arrogant bullshit.

The population of SC is 30% black, you would deny them their say? Apparently all the rest of us white folks here attend the "Saturday Night Bible Meeting", no votes for us.

Geez Louise, and ya wonder why southerners get their backs up about liberals, whom they identify as yankees. This kind of attitude has done as much to drive southern voters away from the Democratic Party as the Nixon/Reagan "southern strategy".

Arrogant. Classists. Idiocy.

10. "Arrogant. Classists. Idiocy."

Am I supposed to ignore the other 60% of South Carolina that, given the chance, would have an Adolf Hitler like genocide of every African American in the state. Now I am classist, but not in the "Upper, middle or lower" sense of the word, but in the sense of the word that I have class. People like me drove Southern voters away because I saw the people they like to term as "Antique Farming Epuipment" as human beings like me and Americans that deserve the same rights as me. I know how you like to forget that GWB won in SC with a racist scare tactic campaign, but ignoring the ugly truth doesn't make it go away. Lee Atwater was a Southern campaign strategist that used the same techniques that worked in his home state of South Carolina because the people in that state still hate the descendents of those they enslaved. If you can't handle this then put me on ignore so I won't hurt your feelings anymore with the truth.

11. Broad brush much?

You, and those like you, would do well to not be chucking rocks in your glass houses. The mere existance of suburbs is testimony to the latent racism of the white middle class.
