| Dems Want Loyalty Oath in S.C.
Voters who appear at their polling places will be asked to sign an oath swearing that “I consider myself to be a Democrat” before casting their ballots.

The purpose is to deter Republicans from voting in the contest to create mischief.

Asked to sign, as in “state Democratic Party’s decision to require voters to declare they are Democrats if they want to participate in Tuesday’s presidential primary.” [emphasis added]

The general consensus in SC?

“It sounds like one of the stupidest ideas I’ve heard in a long time,” said Rice University political scientist Earl Black.”

Do I understand this correctly?
The [Dim]ocrats are so sure of winning they will forego the possible inclusion of any Republican votes for their candidates.

That makes as much sense as believing the cellphone carrying, Ipod playing, PDA useing, internet hooked crowd of Deaniacs would stop downloading illegal MP3’S long enough to vote for their “Messiah” and save them from their percieved GWB hell.

NOT ...less than half showed!

We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
