So, I guess it is as simple as the left simply wishes to cause mischief. Thanks for clarifying!
Cheers!

How is the left causing mischief, they are not the ones who want the paper signed? That us some logical thinking there.

This is a stupid, desperate ploy on behalf of this party. Both sides are pitiful but this truly is a new low.

Lol, is your own link lying?

It isn't illegal. So the obvious conclusion is the left wishes to cause mischief.

Ah, but you see, since this is an open primary anyone can vote. So, the left can vote for the candidate they believe Obama will have the best chance of beating. I have no doubt, any lefty would sign the oath, knowing they would never vote for a Republican.

Sadly, I do think that this election will see very low numbers. I sure hope not, but in talking with people they are not interested in any of the choices.

First off, so what?

Secondly, as scientific as your survey is, there is likely to be keen interest in the primary by both sides.

Finally, the Republicans have every right to create whatever requirements they want for their primary.

What I am saying is that there are those who have no interest in primaries, elections or whoever is running at this point. I am simply chatting with you, no need to be so defensive and curt.

I am sure there are those who have no interest in the primary. But what I am telling you, there people who would wish to muck about in anothers back yard. It has happened before.

Interesting about rush, not shocking but interesting, I will read that tonight.

I think (thus far) this is just desperation from repubs to gain support and also make their numbers look good to the media....manipulation if you will.

Sorry, but the GOP has finally, officially, publicly went cuckoo!!!

I don't owe my allegiance to any political party and who I vote for is between me and the ballot I place my vote on.

Conservatives keep (ignorantly) screaming about Black people, minorities, and liberals being on the Democratic Plantation, yet they don't allow their own people to think for themselves, they must offer up blind obedience to whomever has an "R" next to their name??

Who's on the plantation now??

It's not over reaching to compare this debacle to McCartyism, Dictators, or even allegiance to the "Party" during Germany's darkest days.

As an American voter, your first and last allegiance is to this country and this country only.

I would have told the GOP to kiss my ass!!!
