http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/03/sc_county_gop_if_youve_had_pre-marital_sex_you_can.php?ref=fpnewsfeedBefore you can join the Laurens County Republican Party in South Carolina and get on the primary ballot, they ask that you pledge that youve never ever had pre-marital sex and that you will never ever look at porn again
_______________________________________________________________________________
Fundie crazies have offically taken over the GOP. Doesn't this type of pledge go against the constitution?

(17,216 posts)Legally, I would presume that the Laurens County GOP is a voluntary association and can have about any entrance requirements that it chooses, provided they do not violate current law. And the pledge is likewise "voluntary."
This doesn't make them any less crazy, just legally safe.

I do love it when the right has purges. Eventually they get down to the real lunatics and it's easier to march fewer of them off to the lunatic fringe.
