GOP will demand 'oath' of February primary voters RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- If you're planning to vote in Virginia's February Republican presidential primary, be prepared to sign an oath swearing your Republican loyalty. The State Board of Elections on Monday approved a state Republican Party request to require all who apply for a GOP primary ballot first vow in writing that they'll vote for the party's presidential nominee next fall. There's no practical way to enforce the oath. Virginia doesn't require voters to register by party, and for years the state's Republicans have fretted that Democrats might meddle in their open primaries. Virginia Democrats aren't seeking such an oath for their presidential primary, which is held the same day -- February 12th.

So that's how they're planning to keep those Ron Paul voters from hijacking the party.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition ROTFLMAO!!! What a bunch of pathetic cowards and pussies and wooses! Loyalty demands!! Yeah, right.............especially when there is no mechanism with which to 'zap' anyone who doesn't vote their way! Losers! Losers! Losers!
Gee, how do we attract and retain members of a political party that's becoming as popular as herpes? I know, let's make them sign an oath on how to cast their vote!

they've been doing this in va for years. I know cause I used to live there and more than once I crossed my fingers and signed the oath
We have no king but the Fuhrer...
Well, it's a good way to exclude a lot of people who take oaths seriously, and to increase the proportion of people voting who don't take them seriously.

What a bunch of losers. Our current two war criminals had people sign those things if they wanted to be in canned political rallies during the last stolen election. That tells you something about this sort of facist tactic right off the bat.
reminded me of what Eustace Mullins had to say about Virginia. "The Contract Murder Of Eustace Mullins By Eustace Mullins 6-16-6 For more than five years, I have been battling to stay alive in the State in which I live. My adversary has not been the mafia, but the Commonwealth of Virginia. The occasion was my publishing the American-Christian Messenger, founded in 1972, in the summer of '72 issue, titled the Red State of Virginia. I revealed for the first time that the famed Byrd machine, which maintained iron control over the people of Virginia for many years, was actually the Rothschild-Byrd Machine. In December, 1893, Tom Martin, a railroad lawyer representing Jacob Schiff of Kuhn Loeb and Company, the American branch of the House of Rothschild, ran for the U.S. Senate from Virginia. He was predicted to lose against the popular Fitzhugh Lee, but Kuhn Loeb bought ten members of the Democratic Caucus of the Virginia Assembly for the sum of one thousand dollars each. They then switched their votes from Lee to Martin, who won the Senate seat. Two young men from Martinsburg, VA are launching their careers at that time. They were long time friends, Harry Byrd and Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss. Strauss joined Kuhn, Loeb and Company and with his financial backing, Byrd went into the Martin Organization, which later became the Byrd Machine, with Rothschild backing. After many years of total dictatorial rule in Virginia, Byrd finally died. Strauss pushed his son to replace him, and the Byrd Machine continued with his son Harry Jr. It was continuing now and was always known as the Byrd Machine, but although to those in the know, it was always the Byrd-Rothschild Machine. When Byrd Jr. decided to run as an Independent, Strauss mailed flyers to every voter in the State of Virginia, notifying them that he supported Byrd Jr. as an Independent. Speaking of this strange alliance, over WRNL, Richmond, VA . Feb. 10, 1949, Colonel Frances Pickens Miller said "Virginia has not been functioning normally as a free society because of the Political Clique that has controlled the Commonwealth during the past half century." Byrd referred to Byrd's lieutenant, a man never elected to any Office, E.R. Combs, State Chairman of the Compensation Board, who set the pay for every Byrd henchman who held every Office in the State, which was modeled after the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which Byrd had used as a model in setting up his own totalitarian State bureaucracy in Virginia. Miller then had to move to North Carolina after making this speech. There has been no opposition to the Rothschild-Byrd Machine since 1949, in Virginia. This continues the absolutist tradition in Virginia, which began as huge Estates, owned by men like King Carter and the Byrd's. From its inception, it has been the very rich and masses of peasants. Its Capitol, Richmond, VA is referred to as FIC, referring to three groups which have always held power there. F is for Freemasons, I is for the State of Israel and C for Communism. All three flags have on occasions flown over the State Capitol in Richmond. There is no Virginia flag, as Virginia is the last thing in the minds of the Virginia legislature, as corrupt today as it was in 1893 when its bribed members voted Tom Martin into the U.S. Senate...... I have grounds for a class action suit in the police murder raids on my home, and also with conspiracy to murder by a political organization, which would make a very interesting civil rights case. I cannot charge the Rothschild-Byrd party with these crimes because it is composed of two units, the Virginia Democratic Party, known as the Scalawags since they were organized by the occupation troops in 1865, and the Virginia Republican Party, known as the Carpetbaggers, formed on the same date. Since I as the Plaintiff cannot charge these criminal groups under their correct names, it will be difficult to obtain indictments against them. President Bush constantly warns us of the terror, but neglects to tell us that they are government agents...... " www.rense.com/general72/contract.htm I guess it's the carpetbaggers' turn at bat. I think the devil must have a strong hatred for Virginia, since this is where the cross was planted declaring this land for Jesus Christ.
The bad publicity about the loyalty oath for the primary seems to have had an effect, fortunately: GOP drops the "loyalty oath" in February's primary .
