With today's technology they can now look over your shoulder any time they want... so COVERTLY... they can indeed enforce that oath... and will not hesitate to do so if they so desire.edit on 31-12-2011 by shushu because: (no reason given)
Obama is also the sitting Apocalyptic President. He has expanded our wars into Libya, Syria, and Iran
I do believe these were the actions of NATO. Not Barry acting all on his own just because...edit on 31-12-2011 by karen61057 because: (no reason given)

In VA yes, you don't have to be registered to a certain party to vote.
In many other states you do. A primary is a party vote...you can't vote for an independent in a primary...well you can...but it wouldn't count. The Party decides who is on the ballot...at Caucuses where you write a name down, the party decides which names they are going to count...all others are thrown out.
This is a party vote...just like if you belong to a club and you are voting who will be president of that club...it has nothing to do with the government.
So having them sign this, although unenforcable, is not taking anyones rights away.

If RP runs as an independent, it could split the vote, most likely in Obama's favor. Ralph Nader made the election close enough for Bush to "win" the election (if you subscribe to the myth that he actually won)

What happens if people break the oath? Will they become a political prisoner?

LOL. And just what do you believe they would do to enforce this? What would be a fit penalty to the oath breaker? And will not hesitate to do so. Ha ha ha. They're going to take away my voter registeration card? Not likely. They will arrest me for lying? nope. Take my first born child? He's already married and living on his own. If his wife is ok with it go for it.

It's funny, because it is an indicator that Ron Paul is drawing attention from both parties.
But who cares about a dumb oath?? It wouldn't keep me from doing what I wanted. Sheesh.
No the Obama people want to help Ron Paul so their man Obama can slay the racist in a hands down easy victory.
Why do Paul fans want phoney Obama voters? They won't be there to elect their guy if fantasyland happens and he makes the general election. Paul fanatics only care about the moment, and any vote they can get for that moment.

So what does Virginia do?
Virginia GOP Will Require Voters To Sign ‘Loyalty Oath’
On Wednesday the Virginia State Board of Elections approved a request from the Virginia GOP that will require voters to sign a loyalty oath in order to participate in the state’s presidential primary on March 6.
The oath, which reads “I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican party for president,” is intended to deter non-Republicans from participating in the process unless they are serious about supporting the eventual GOP candidate.

This is some SERIOUS BS!
Voting for a party instead of individuals is EXACTLY what is wrong with this country, and they want make sure people are FORCED to do so????
This MUST be contested from every angle possible
Something must be done, this is just so completely wrong on every level of everything!
ARGHHHHH

I am so confused.

On what grounds, and on what punishment, would there be on no listening to this oath?
It seems like a scare tactic that really doesn't do anything in the long run.
Watch a bunch of people totally ignore it.edit on 31-12-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)
