[daws101]

let the bullshit rationalization begin!

Not rationalization, it's fact. And I see no issue with them doing it.

therein lies the problem.....

What problem? Are they forcing people to live by this pledge?
Are they making YOU sign the pledge?

just the suggestion of that type of horseshit reeks of totalitarianism ..

A political structure that involves the population of a country being entirely subject to the absolute authority in pursuing its goals. Carrying on normal business and personal activities under a totalitarian regime can be challenging since government agents and the police often act without being constrained by normal legal procedures.
"are they making you sign the pledge?"
not yet!

These are people that want to run under the Party name, it isn't the government making you sign a pledge about anything. These people also have no real mechanism to enforce said pledge, save suing for breach of contract (tenuous at best).

You want to find totalitarianism? Look to the left using government agencies to ruin people who don't want to participate in gay weddings via business transactions.

the award for the most consistent rationalizing in a thread goes too......

Your opinion is that this is not appropriate. If you tried to justify it, YOU would be rationalizing. I, on the other hand don't see the issue, and thus I am incapable of rationalizing it.

You are confusing explaining, or understanding with rationalizing.

Now I understand, as a progressive, you cannot grasp the concept of other having differing opinions from you, and having those opinions without being stupid/evil/sheeple, etc etc etc. Don't worry, though I understand its probably due to your lack of a spine, or cognitive functions. (See, THAT is rationalizing).

Though at first the resolution would have required candidates to sign the pledge, Smith clarifiedin a statement Monday that "due to various legal issues" the LCGOP cannot require that the candidates sign the pledge if they meet all of the other qualifications for a run. But, he said, the committee "reserves the right to vet its candidates and will encourage all candidates to uphold the principles of the party's platform as well as petition candidates to sign a pledge to do so. However, no candidate will be denied access to the Republican Party primary ballot for refusing to sign the pledge."

It is indicative of the GOP's holier than thou attitude. The GOP is a Cesspool of Hypocrisy....

Sounds more like a religious thing than a GOP thing. Sounds like there may be a religious influence in the Laurens County GOP.

Though I am a member of neither the GOP nor any religious organization, so what do I know...

I am pretty sure that Bobby Smith doesn't have clue what the want or what they think is truly important...




Oh and, for the record...

Rationalization (making excuses)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Rationalization.

In psychology and logic, rationalization or rationalisation (also known as making excuses[1]) is a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means.[2] It is also an informal fallacy of reasoning.[3]

Rationalization encourages irrational or unacceptable behavior, motives, or feelings and often involves ad hoc hypothesizing. This process ranges from fully conscious (e.g. to present an external defense against ridicule from others) to mostly unconscious (e.g. to create a block against internal feelings of guilt). People rationalize for various reasons — sometimes when we think we know ourselves better than we do. Rationalization may differentiate the original deterministic explanation of the behavior or feeling in question.[4][5]
