Suppose a Republican votes for Ron Paul in the primary and then Paul loses to Romney or someone else? Why is that person OBLIGATED to vote for Romney if they dont like him?

Since voters pay for the election, the party has no business making any restriction whatsoever–furthermore, I think any voter should be permitted to vote in both primaries.

Of course, I may also vote for the Republican canidate as a vote for divided government (as long as it's not Giuliani.) Now I'm tempted to just out of spite.

Many states have that and for some of us (who aren't brainwashed, party before country morons) it works very well. Republicans truly are facists!

It should be one man, one vote. One could try to sabotage the other party's chances in the general election by voting for the weaker candidate in their primary. But swearing allegiance to a party as a prerequisite to voting in an election? The state board of elections are retards. Just make registration as a republican a pre-requisite. That should be enough of a "vow" anyway. I don’t like the rule that you can vote in both primaries. It should be one man, one vote.
