Why waste time doing a "Write-in" Campaign when the State Rules say no write-in votes will be counted in Primaries? Just encourage your supporters to vote for the "kook", Ron Paul. Even if he wins VA, it will not benefit Ron Paul in the long run and it will embarrass Mitt Romney and the Elite GOP Establishment.

Too many of the politically active voters are now employees of government at various levels, employees of services dependent on government spending and pensioners. That’s why the Gingrich campaign is blocked by corruption. We’ll have to starve the B. Become more self-sufficient. No sale, no vote.

10,000 signatures out of a state which cast 3.7 million votes in the last presidential election doesn't seem like an overly strict requirement. What is that? Less than 1/3rd of 1%?

It would seem more sensible to write off Virginia and move on to the next state rather than try to rewrite the rules ex-post facto. It sounds too much like what Al Gore tried to do in Florida in 2000.

Exactly. Just write VA off. Let your supporters organize and turn out en masse for Ron Paul and embarrass Mitt and the GOP Establishment. Ron Paul is not going to get the nomination anyhow.

The Gingrich campaign responded that "only a failed system" would disqualify Gingrich and other candidates.

Petulance isn't Presidential.

WHAT? We are chatting about a primary, right?

No votes have been counted. right?

Are we not discussing getting a NAME on a Ballot?

So this is the same as counting actual Votes 3, 4, 5 times verses NOT ONE vote being allowed for the candidate of our choice?

I don’t agree with the “exactly” comment. but If Newt can not get on the BALLOT then Virginia Conservatives should ALL vote for Ron Paul. Drop mittens and his goons on their heads!

I will not vote for neither Paul nor Romney and I will refuse to give my promised $1000 donation to the RPV. Screw them all! Let Newt and Perry appeal and fix their problems period.

Believe me, I am NOT a PAUL voter. Never will be EVER.

I don’t want either to be elected under any circumstances.

It’s no one’s fault but Newt’s that he isn’t going to be on the ballot. His organizational skills suck.

Hey Darth Vader,

Listen, I understand your great disappointment at this point in time. That $1,000.00 donation you spoke of: Right now, you seem to be under great duress and unable to make a rational decision. So, just send that $1,00000 to me and I will see that it stays in good, Conservative hands.
LOL!!!

VA has made a mockery of their GOP primary while letting in the two crackpot candidates ONLY: the lib from MA and the 80 year old 911 conspiracy and racist nut.

Meanwhile Newt leads in EVERY state but two, in the average polling nationally and in Virginia by 5!!

But I understand he's the tea party's, grassroots', and conservative's favorite CANDIDATE. And we can't have THAT running!

This is my reply to a request to support NG:

1995 was about the time I watched a press conference on CNN with Newt. I distinctly remember it as Newt told us to read Alvin & Heidi Toffler’s book “The Third Way”.

I went out and got a copy right away as I was excited with Newt becoming Speaker and what I thought was the start of turning things around in this country.

I was shocked at what I read!

This book, endorsed by Newt advocates blending Communism with Capitalism.

Really Newt! Are you kidding me? (No)

In my very humble opinion, I don’t think much of that idea.

The Capitalistic System has served this country pretty well and Communism has been a failure in every country that has dabbled with it. If the hundreds of millions of dead humans that were victim’s of it could speak, I believe they would agree.

I will also say this. Newt was Speaker of the House when he endorsed this concept on a nationally televised press conference.

Communism is the arch enemy of our Capitalistic System. It destroys the human spirit, and untold millions of Human Beings have lost their lives due to it.

I only have one vote and to me it is sacred. I will guarantee you that I will never give it to someone that as a high level government official endorsed incorporating Communism into Capitalism.

To me he is unfit to hold office period.

SP

A perusal of this may be in order also ref. the above.

“treason was specifically defined in the United States Constitution.
Article Three defines treason as only levying war against the United States or “in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort

Gingrich is not the TEA party favorite candidate, that is nothing but propaganda.
