I decided I'd rather be one of the 10% or so Okies who vote Ron Paul in the Primaries than sit on my ass all day getting drunk and watching old Bond movies on Super Tuesday.

Given the supreme anti-open democracy of Oklahoma voting laws that means I'm going to have to register as a Republican.  IN THE OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Good god, I'm getting another drink.

What kind of masochistic idiot would join the Republican Party just to participate in their primaries?

I know of a guy (friend of a friend) who did just that. In California, in 2008.

Yes, it was to vote for Ron Paul.

Hey I never said I was smart.

Or that I had a pain phobia.

I'm about to do just that. Smiley  What's confusing?  I may switch back to the Democratic Party before the general election!!!  All for the same reasons that Mechaman has mentioned.

I know.

But he didn't join the OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN PARTY.

I get to be in the same party as all time greats like James Inhofe, Sally Kern, and Don Nickles!

Can Joe Republic claim to have such honor?

Don Nickles is by far the best out of the three.

As somebody who lives in a state where there is no party registration, I find the whole process kind of creepy. Some sort of Stalinist join the party type deal.

Wouldn't that make him more of a masochistic idiot then? Wink
