“Yes Virginia...there IS a Constitution...”
Could you please specify exactly which part of the Constitution is being violated by the actions of Virginia and the Virginia Republican Party?
okay, I’m going to put in my two cents then stand aside.
There is something WRONG with this Virginia thing although it’s more the appearance of impropriety than anything perhaps illegal.
First, Newt gathered 13,000 signatures. Romney gathered 20,000 sigs. Others gathered varying amounts. Va law requires 10,000 signatures with some 400 at a minimum from all the voting districts...ie they ALL can’t come from Richmond, for example. Virginians welcome to jump in and help or correct me here but I think I got the gist of it.
The REPUBLICAN PARTY has rules that have no verification at all if 15,000 sigs are gathered, thus Romney has no problem. Newt got 13,000 sigs and the VA GOP has a proctologist examining all his sigs and they’re having a field day disallowing his sigs.
Now you can argue that Newt shoulda got the 20K like Romney’s professional campaign, that the rules were known by all.
But what it APPEARS like, to the rest of the world, that with all those candidates on debates and everything, it makes the VA GOP look like snits that want to push Romney,
Come on...only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney on the Va GOP primary ballot? And Newt had enough sigs but not enough to avoid scrutiny while Romney’s was just right?
The jokes write themselves!
It’s a silly, silly system. I’m not exempting Newt or the others for not doing what they had to do, but I’m from Delaware where the Blue Blood Elite GOP here crushed our candidate, Christine O’Donnell.
This year we’re fighting the Democrats and the Blue Blood elites of the Republican party. They’ll do whatever it takes.
For they reach across the aisle with perfectly polished fingernails but they rip the heads of their own base who dare to challenge their proud positioon of Republican authority.
Can you please specify why the others who didn’t qualify for the VA primary ballot can be trusted to secure America, according to you, because your tagline singles out Governor Perry by only saying HE can’t secure America because HE didn’t get on the ballot??
But as you know, neither did the others - that you fail to attack - get on the ballot.
Merely calling everyone’s attention to your perpetual hypocrisy.
If there's no ignore button, maybe you're handy with HTML and could use the < fontcolor=white > thingy... Only the cool people use it. I promise. You should try it.
