From Our "Republicans are Freakin' Nuts" Department...

The South Carolina Republican Party in Laurens County has a pledge GOP candidates have to sign to receive the blessings...

You must favor, and live up to, abstinence before marriage.
You must be faithful to your spouse. Your spouse cannot be a person of the same gender, and you are not allowed to favor any government action that would allow for civil unions of people of the same sex.
You cannot now, from the moment you sign this pledge, look at pornography.

My children were born in this state. It's a curse! The good news is that this pledge effectively eliminates 99.9% of Republicans from running for office. Actually, now that I think about it, this eliminates 99.9 % of South Carolinians from being a Republican.
