Originally posted by Tyrone Slothrop - The Republican Party of Virginia wants voters in the Feb. 12 GOP presidential primary to sign a pledge that they will support the party's nominee.
The state Board of Elections approved the request yesterday.
Those who wish to cast a ballot in the Republican presidential primary will have to sign a statement that says, "I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for president."
Paul Waldman sees this as an effort to tell GOP voters what to do in the general election, but I think it's more an effort to ensure that moderates don't vote in the primary. Spanky, what do you think?

These moralizing waterheads love pledges. They sign abstinence pledges, joing the Promise Keepers, etc. Blind consistency and stupidity, hand in hand as always.
Who wouldn't lie on a form they were handing to some right-wing political volunteer? If you can't lie to that stripe of hypocrite, who can you lie to?
