Agreed, by a court of law. disenfranchisement
Almost.
I'll take their oath, and give it as much concern as they did their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. These scumbags deserve another term of obama.
How about this for a crazy idea? You can’t vote in the primary unless you make out a check for $100 to the Va. Republican Party at the polling place.
pshaw. won’t mean a damn thing. hussein took an oath to uphold the constitution. he lied. liars will lie, the oath will mean nothing to them.
How about an oath by the candidates to read the party platform and make a good faith effort to implement it. All of it.
The VA GOP is friggin’ nuts!
Ron Paul won’t say that he will support the nominee, why should I? I’ll decide on March 6th what I will do, depending on the state of the race.
Kooks everywhere. Loyalty oaths? Talk about control freaks. Are they afraid Ron Paul will be the nominee? ROFLOL I guess they should have allowed more candidates on the ballot. As it is, Virginia is gonna go for Paul. I know I shouldn’t laugh, but I can’t help it.
So, exactly how do they intend to enforce this? Is this even Constitutionally viable?
Or, do we have children pretending they are adults?
What if the RNC Candidate wins nomination, then says “On second thought, I really think Obama-care didn’t go far enough”. Now I ‘ethically’ cannot vote a Libertarian ticket.
The only thing worse than one set of stupid laws, are half-baked laws that are created to cover up the original stupid laws.
Both parties want the independent voters, they say, but shutting them out of the primaries is not the way to attract them.
This actually signifies the death knell of the Virginia GOP.
It won’t be immediate but the mid term and long term consequences will result in the formation of competing parallel institutions in the state, be it of the Gingrich bent or the Paul bent, or some Perot-type bent.
The RPV just shot itself in the face, and the loyalty oath form is the postcard invitation to the funeral.
Thanks.
Apparently when VA floated this idea in the 2008 primaries, they later dropped it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/30/AR2007113002348.html
Why should VA have those things when the rest of the Country doesn't?
Define "support". Give them money? Be sure to show up at the polls on election day? Kiss their butt? Commit hara-kiri if they lose? Send them flowers on their birthday? Wash their magic underwear?
How do they know that you voted for the republican when the actual election rolls around?
Yes, Virginia, there is a stupid party.
If you want to vote in the primaries you gotta' do that. It's only fair.
On the other hand in Virginia we don't have that yet ~ but we will!
