Considering both Newt and Perry had at minimum a 20% buffer on the signatures they needed, we need to learn more about who was behind validating the signatures or collecting them. Something fishy is going on.
Great idea! Hillary hasn’t cornered all the smart power after all.
Jim, most happy to oblige.
Merry Christmas to the Robinson household.
You know what, the restrictive Virginia rules were tailor made for a single “not Romney” to take on Romney one on one.
You conservatives want Santorum and Bachman off the ballot, you got Santorum and Bachman off the ballot because they had no chance to qualify. Perry will be toast after Iowa and NH.
The rules in Virginia FAVORED GINGRICH AND HE BLEW IT.
Registered my complaint here:
You people are absolutely nuts for trying to keep Newt Gingrich off the Virginia ballot! In case you haven’t noticed, Newt Gingrich is the leading Republican contender for the presidency nationwide and in VIRGINIA!! You are attempting to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Republican conservatives in Virginia who would mark their ballots for Newt Gingrich. He’s a favorite among the conservative base and the tea party. And Rebellion is brewing!! Advise you get your act together and get him on the ballot!! This treachery will not be allowed to stand without a whole lot of blowback!! On YOU!!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Boss!
bump good idea
Done and bumped. Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year!
I just went to Facebook and did the deed. GO NEWT!!!
Question! How did such a travesty become operative in Virginia? If 100,000 people voice for a candidate but there is no place for the person to be given a fair shake in an election??
Suggestion: This needs to be Re-posted around Mon. or Tues. after Christmas is over and people are back to normal.....more people on FR.
Emphasis needs to be that this is not a Virginia law , as I understand, but something the Repubs dreamed up for some reason.
George H W Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain, and now Mittens Romney. When will it end? Never, that’s when. Not as long as they can get by with it. When will we take a stand and put a stop to this nonsense?
If not now, when?
OK, who engineered the Virginia system? Paulbots vs. Mittbots? Surely someone in Virginia must care for Perry, Bachmann, Huntsman, let alone for Gingrich?
Jim, if I were Virginian and confronted with having to choose between Romney, Paul or Obama, I think I’d have to choose Paul so that we could at least have a national discussion about our forsaken Constitution just once before the Republic as we knew it is gone forever.
Romney won’t save us from where Obama has brought us and not enough republicans will fight him once installed.
Obama will hasten our already almost certain economic national demise. (Romney may take his foot off the gas, but he seems unfamiliar with brakes...)
Paul would be far better than either of those two economically and domestically and both sides of the aisle would likely resist Paul’s foreign policies, while watching him like hawks. The nation winds up spending 4 years discussing the Constitution and perhaps getting rid of a few big government agencies.
Warts and all, that’s an easy choice.
