Caucus Night and the Primaries. What Does It Mean To Non-Voters?

So, the above blank area in my opinion represents what Caucus Night in Iowa or primaries in Vermont or anywhere else means to none registered voters, which is, nothing. Those primeries are for registered Democrats or Republicans. That my dear friends is who is voting. So when they say so goes Iowa so goes the nation, in my opinion, what a shame that statement truly is because you now have "the rest of the story".

The incumbent in office at this time is Bush. He is going to be replaced no matter who wins in the election. My question is who do you favor Mr. Melaccio? Or who will you vote for, a democrat or a republican?Please log in to respond to this comment.David, as far as the President goes that will be a hard one. I will try to select a third party candidate that most associates with my views. Ron Paul has a lot to offer as far as this Republic goes adnc ertainly Immigration the economy and war are the three top issues in my mind. Given there may be no choice I just might not vote for that office and concentrate on Congress. You see the idea is to make a shift in Congress so that the President cannot ramrod anything down our throats. A vote for a Republican or a Democrat is a vote for nothing. The hardest part for people to understand is that there is no real difference between the two parties. I will vote for any third party candidate, short of Communist or other wacky party that is running against the incumbent. That incumbent being the politican who currently has the seat in office be it state, local or national. Now if I must I will vote the opposite even if they are of one or the other parties R or D. Why, to send a message loud and clear! To sound the alarm loud and clear. Don't take care of Americans and out you go! It is as simple a process as that! By doing this we make a paradigm shift in Congress which means they just can't swing a vote anymore. It is as simple as that David. So in my opinion those 40% who vote time after time are the destroyers of this nation. They destroy it David because the rest of us allow them to by not voting! Best Wishes, as always.

I still don't know what caucus means vs voting, I live in California.Please log in to respond to this comment.This is right from Websters Dictionary and I think it says it better then I can. It is a closed door meeting of a group of persons belonging to the same political party or faction usually to select candidates or to decide on policy. It is interesting that they expect less then 6% turnout. It is also significant that these people are of one or the other party. Yet and this is significant when you read your newspapers that they will say as Iowa goes so goes the nation. It really speaks to what we have become as a nation. All the best!Please log in to respond to this comment.
