You make a strong case for the appearance of ineptness for the candidates failing to meet Virginia’s ballot requirements. Virginia’s tough standard caused Jon Huntsman, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich to fail to make the ballot. I thought South Carolina’s filing fee ($25,000 before May 3rd—$35,000 after May 3rd) was bad. Take a look at the devil in the details with Virginia’s rules:

I’m a bit distressed about this.
Well, at least we are not alone and in good company.
We want our country to survive, the traitors want it to fail.
I fear that this election will be the dirtiest ever.
Why would I vote for either Romney or Paul in the March 6 Virginia primary? Unless Ron Paul is somehow a serious contender for the nomination as of March 6, voting for Paul would be a protest vote, and a vote to takeaway Virginia delegates from Romney thereby helping the not-Romney candidates still contending for the nomination on March 6.
If Paul is a serious contender for the nomination on March 6 and Romney has fallen out of contention then I would consider voting for Romney to help Perry, Santorum, Bachmann, or Newt beat Ron Paul.
When you’re dealt a lousy hand you do the best you can.
Do you really want Obama appointing judges to the courts for another term?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s a good question. But, Republican appointees from Reagan and both Bushes have stabbed conservatives in the back just as democrat judges have. Every court from the Districts to the Circuits to the Supreme is infested with liberals. I’m afraid it makes no difference who the president is when it comes to judicial nominees.

Great repsonse! That judgeship appointee question should be posed to the GOP Elite, not the conservative voters. They are the ones forcing it with commies like mittens. Besides, if the country is going to economically collapse, it would be better to have it come crashing down around those big ole odongo ears, along with the rat party’s antics as a whole, than us.
How I feel is irrelevant.
You do realize that that babbling moron Rick Perry and his campaign would be in the gutter whether I opposed him or not, don't you? If you want to blame anyone, blame him.

Just when we conservatives were hurting bad with Mitt and Newt as our front runners - along comes RoPaul leading the polls in Iowsa.
Is it any wonder we feel like giving up and letting Øbama have 4 more years?
Our only hope is conservative control of the House and Senate.
I would never vote for Obama OR Mitt GD Romney!
It's so very sad that Obama has the best chance of all to get back in. If so, I hope we expend all our energies into beefing-up the House and Senate with true Tea Party Patriots and weathering through another 4. Unbelievably sad.
