1. Not real likely.
It would have to pass two consecutive sessions of the state Legislature a statewide vote.

2. Outrageous. There is no depth to which the GOP won't stoop to disenfranchise voters.
And to retain power. This proposal is deeply offensive.

4. What about running fake candidates in primaries? Objections?
Or is this just sour grapes?

5. The Wisconsin GOP is dminated by the Teabaggers.
They'll never admit that, but the Teabaggers say "Jump!" and the GOP says "How high?"

Add to that our top GOP "leaders," (Governor, and heads of the the state assembly and senate) are so corrupt they stink on ice.

9. You seem to be suggesting there is some sort of difference between the GOP and Tea Baggers?
They are identical, all one and the same... There is no such thing as a normal Republican any longer.. They are all off kilter..Every single one of them...

6. Why don't they just outlaw the Democratic Party? You know they would
if they could.

7. Millions were spent on unnecessary Dem primaries with fake challengers --
who were all REPUBLICAN.

8. You must consider the source
Their primary constituency believes in talking snakes, talking bushes, and talking donkeys. Do you really think they are going to hold them accountable for such trivialities as logic and reason?
