When a self-declared conservative starts filing lawsuits like a liberal because the rules "aren't fair" you can hear the Fat Lady clearing her voice in the distance.

It isn't that the rules aren't fair, it's that the rules are Willful, Arbitrary and Capricious. They have no relevance whatsoever to reality, and they are probably manifestly unconstitutional.

The trick here is that Bolling and his running dog lackeys have applied the rules with an exactitude that makes his boy Romney look like an election fraud specialist ~ kind of like Obama.

It would be best for the GOP to just back off and open up registration to all willing to pay the registration fee. After all, the taxpayers of the Commonwealth of Virginia (meaning me) are going to be paying for the primary ~ it's not the party's private money.

Since it's my money I'd like to see some of my favorite candidates on the list, not just a cranky old nutcase and a loser.

You do realize this offense against my rights deserves really serious punishment ~ now whether or not the courts will hand that out Bolling probably ought to flee to his friends in Chicago now. Maybe they can protect him.

Its not because the rules are “not fair”. It’s because they were changed at the last minute.

You're failing to make at least a couple important distinctions:
1. the liberal files suit against someone whose actions don't directly affect him on behalf of someone else whom the liberal claims he is trying to protect. That's not happening here.

2. filing suit against someone whose actions you believe have harmed you in order to seek relief is the basis of tort law; that's been going on for hundreds of years and has nothing to do with liberal or conservative. Trying to pass laws to anticipate and criminalize every conceivable transgression of an ideologically-motivated agenda is the liberal way. That's also not happening here.
