Quoted from Henry
LMAO, I guess he missed the part where they ruled the delegate process for future elections useless, or the fact the GOP has been trying to block out 3rd party runs in some states, yeah that is what our founders wanted


To be fair both parties have blocked Third Party runs.  

But I don't think our founding fathers offer much guidance on the matter since Washington didn't believe in political parties at all and Thomas Jefferson, for example, was a ruthless bastard when it came to partisan politics.

A political strategist is thought to be on the lam after she failed to show up for an interview with prosecutors
about a campaign scandal involving Rep. David Rivera (R-FL).

Authorities last week raided Ana Alliegro's apartment and seized her computer and cell phone. She was
scheduled to speak to prosecutors on Thursday, but now not even her lawyer knows where she is,
according to The Miami Herald.

Prosecutors believe that Alliegro may be involved in shadow campaign, in which Justin Lamar Sternad
ran as a Democrat "ringer" in the 26th District primary in order to help defeat fellow Democrat Joe
Garcia. Authorities are probing Rivera, the Republican incumbent, to find out if he was behind the scheme
as effort to weaken or defeat Garcia before they faced off in the general election.

Campaign sources and finance records indicated that Rivera may have funneled $46,000 in secret money
to Sternad's campaign -- often in cash-filled envelopes. Both Rivera and Sternad have denied working
together.

"I still have not heard from my client. I have no idea where she is," attorney Mauricio Padilla told the
Herald. "I have not talked to Ana since Wednesday."

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
