I cannot fully embrace evrything Demorcratic or Republican at the Koolaid drinking level so I registered as an Independent. I feel,as an example this is my way of voting for a good Demorcrat for the Senate , a great Republican for the house a Libertarian Judge and an Unaffiliated dog catcher. I am being told as unnoffiliated I can vote for no one really. If I'm a good boy,however, I will be allowed to vote for any one I like in the general election. The primary that I am excluded from contols the general election candidates. The only way I can vote for anyone is a straight ticket Koolaid vote which takes away and limits my choice. I want my vote to be a sample of how I feel and it fails to do so. This rule should be changed, any ideas how?
