Proud To Be A ‘Clothespin Republican’

Arpie: Until the Republicans pay for their own primaries, I don't view it as cheating to go and vote for the best person running in a primary election. I have given up on voting for the wacko in hopes a Democrat will later beat the wacko in the general election. I am a proud Clothespin Republican in the primaries and encourage others to do the same.

Question: Do you see anything wrong with Democrats and Independents declaring themselves Republicans to vote in Idaho Republican primaries?
