[history]
Voters from any party will be allowed to cast ballots Tuesday in the Democratic presidential primary, but the chairman of the state Democratic Party is asking one group to stay away. GOP mischief-makers.
Joe Erwin, the chairman, said Sunday he welcomes votes from independents and "disaffected" Republicans who "seriously" support one of the Democratic candidates. But he said loyal Republicans who want to fill ballot boxes with votes for the weakest candidates aren't welcome.

Isn't this one of the states where they encouraged people to vote for McCain over Bush?

''..if Republicans vote for that purpose," Erwin said. "That is a lack of personal integrity." Huh? He's kidding, right?!?
A demoncRAT questioning someone's integrity?!? That's rich!

The perverted gay .com sites worked 24/7 to have gays, fellow perverts, friends, family members and Episcopal Priests vote for McAinal in that election.
They, also, worked on having the same slime in other states register as republicans to vote for McAinal in efforts to defeat GW in 2000.

Talk about "personal integrity" coming from the head of the RAT Party is humorous.

YES! The Dems admitted to voting for McCain in the 2000 Rep primary!
Also, there has been a debate going on in Reps circles that if you vote in Tuesday's Dem primary, you cannot vote in the Rep Senatoral primary in June. This is WRONG.
According to election officials, Anyone can vote tomorrow and still vote in the Senate primaries in June. See this article from yesterday's Greenville News Titled, "Republicans also can vote Tuesday"
http://greenvilleonline.com/news/2004/02/01/2004020123849.htm "The state Election Commission clarified the issue in a letter to county officials, said Conway Belangia, director of voter registration and elections for Greenville County.
"The letter says what people do on February 3 does not affect what they can do on June 8," he said.

They wouldn't recognise personal integrity if it bit them in the gluteus. If Repub's made this statemnet, we'd bre hearing the loud screams of disdain all over the mainstream press by noon. DISENFRANCHISEMENT! INTIMIDATION!
To: Babsig
Joe Erwin, the chairman, said ... "That is a lack of personal integrity." Let me get this straight...a DemocRat, the party of liar Bill Clinton, the party fined $85 million for taking campaign money from foreign nationals, is trying to define what is a lack of personal integrity?
LOL!
To: Babsig
This guy is trying to disenfrancise voters...something the left is always crying about.

And, of course, the votes cast by loyal democrats for the weakest candidates simply won't be counted.

There will be no challenge on the ballot for the Republican nomination. Americans will see either President Bush re-elected or Democrat Candidate-X elected (no Green,Libertarian,Reform etc. candidate will be winning this election cycle).
Who is this Democrat to tell Republicans that they cannot cast a vote for a contender for the Presidency?
Plenty of Democrats tried to get McCain nominated as the Republican candidate.
