However, I'm sure there is reasoning behind this seeming madness. At the risk of putting words into Republican strategists' mouths....
Can any Democrats here actually, honestly come up with another candidate, from either party that has been hated and despised by the other side half as much as Bush?
The party doesn't want his rallies being sabotaged or disrupted by angry protestors. It's not that Republicans are just evil tyrants.
I know it's just sterotypes, but (and stereotypes become what they are because there's a large measure of truth in them)....really, can you truthfully imagine a bunch of fired up soccer mom or businessmen Republicans planning and executing an attempt to disrupt a Kerry rally?
Now think about young angry college students hatching a plot to try and humiliate the president.
Which seems more likely?
That's why, I bet, they're having people sign those things.
(I still don't like it)

while i wouldn't expect the groups you mention toreally cause problems at a kerry rally, think of all the religous right, red neck, and other conservative staples that would probably do so... (and considering the whole bringing flip-flops thing at the kerry rallies, they do do it)... and don't forget about defensive, conservative college kids.
