What happens with the Loyalty Oaths?
At Bush ralleys, the attendees are required to sign a "Loyalty Oath."
What do the Bush people do with those oaths and how will they be used in the future to control the people who signed them? Does anyone know what the oath says and if it can be used against the person who signed it in a court of law?

If those people are told they are signing the oath to keep disruptions from happening, why aren't they called non-disruption oaths?

1. I think that only happened at about two rallies
Then the bush campaign realized that these oaths were are PR liability and dropped them. Now they have gone back to techniques they have perfected and are comfortable with: behind-the-scenes skulduggery.

2. Basically
...They'll use the info someone puts on the Loyalty Oaths, and review them after the election.

Once the Supreme Court decision invalidating the "election" has been completed, and Dumbya is named President by Devine Appointment, they'll check to see if the person who signed the Oath obeyed their Oath.

If not, utilizing der Fatherland Security, oops, I mean Homeland Security, those "Terrorists" will be rounded up and taken to the newly opened "Camps".

3. Creepy, but completely toothless
Since voting is private, a "loyalty" oath is ridiculous. I'd happily sign one, if I ever wanted to get into a Republican rally. It means exactly nothing.
