I am curious to know when the VA GOP invented the 15K Safe Harbor rule. The letter from the VA GOP is undated (which is itself curious). The PDF file contains a hidden creation date of 12/21/2011. Thanks for finding and pointing out that the undated letter [shown in post#235] announcing the 15,000 Safe Harbor rule was created on 12/21/2011 (Wednesday). That is one day AFTER Romney's campaign manager in VA (the Lt. Governor) turned in 16,000. So they made up the last-minute rule that guaranteed Romney's (already filed) petitions would be accepted without testing, while knowing that the new extra scrutiny would certainly disqualify most other candidates!

WOW!!!
Well, isn’t that interesting!
What exactly does this weasel think he’s going to accomplish here?
Lt. Gov Bolling should be impeached, and/or a recall petition drive should start Monday.
Corrupt POS.
That is a foolish leap of logic, and a bizarre attempt at a conspiracy where none exists. I can guarantee you that Bolling doesn’t control the RPV, if any elected official did it would be McDonald, and he hasn’t endorsed Romney, and in 2008 he was a Thompson man.
Even if you assume the pdf was created on the 21st, the rule wasn’t. That would be when they scanned the letter to put it on their web site.
The letter probably was generated to answer a question. The rule wasn’t created yesterday. I can’t tell you when it was, as it is christmas eve, so sources are not available. But I’m sure RPV understands there are questions, and when christmas is over, they will likely answer the questions.
I’m dissappointed in the wild leaps of fancy that conservatives are willing to make when things don’t go the way they would like. We need to live in the real world, and do the job that needs to be done, and not be sore losers and people who change the rules whenever things don’t work out.
That is one day AFTER Romney's campaign manager in VA (the Lt. Governor) turned in 16,000.
A Party cannot present rules to its members and change them after the process pursuant to said rules has begun without having committed a fraud. Hence, any Republican voter in Virginia has standing with which to file charges. There are people who should go to jail for this.
Sickening ping to #359.
I’m about dumbstruck .. just can’t FReeping believe this, but
I know He who came to us in a lowly stable today IS in charge. God bless us all with His mercy.
And conservatves will vote and send money to these New World Order, Big Government socialist republicans....
A hard copy letter may have been created AFTER the fact and such is evidence of some dirty dealings however unless there is clear proof that the Original letter was created after the fact then all you have is innuendo. Such things are how Conspiracy Theories are born.

Smell a rat? I smell a whole ghetto full of them. This doesn’t gore my personal ox (I support Ron Paul amongst the reamining candidates), but this is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Maybe y’all are getting a taste for why I dislike the VA gop.
