Why do you have to commit to a party to vote when you're open to all options? It punishes those who are willing to look at all opinions and rewards those who are blindly committed to a group. Just because a party doesn't own my vote to a certain degree my opinion doesn't count? I should be able to vote in any primary but only one time. Especially since being a Dem or a Rep seems to be the only outlet for a candidate to get heard from.
I think it's crazy people so many people are committed to a party in the first place. It turns it into a sports team for some people and as a result that's how they approach politics. People are too busy flinging poo back and forth trying to convince the other side their team is better instead of looking at issues fair and balanced. It divides people and clouds their judgement.
