Power-Mad GOP Lawmakers Seek to End Democratic Primaries for U.S. Senate



File this one under Power Really Goes to Their Heads. This may be the dumbest of the GOP super-majority's bizarre bills yet.  

Tennessee's ego-maniacal GOP lawmakers want to end the democratic primary for the U.S. Senate.

Ending the democratic primary for U.S. Senators? Heck, why not end all democratic elections? What the hell do voters care about democracy anyway?

If Tennessee voters don't choose their nominees for the U.S. Senate, who does? Power-mad GOP lawmakers of course.
