Perry files suit to challenge Virginia primary ballot rules.

Urkel, you just got put on my ignore list. You share this dubious honor with Mr.Shaman and Matthew . You are in good company.

I don't see this as frivilous. The fraud on the part of the RPV is kind of obvious here.

Simple question: How many valid signatures did Perry and Gingrich each turn in?

 

[JoeB131]

Sorry, man, you are ingore now...

And yet you knew that my last post was in reply to you.

Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You realize that the lawsuit by Perry does not challenge the 10,000/400 requirement that has been in effect for over a decade.

The lawsuit challenges the requirement of requiring signature gatherers to themselves be qualified voters.

And instead of filing in state court for state law, Perry has run directly to the federal courts.


>>>>

That would tell me he met the other requirements, and they used that as their basis of disallowing him.

You miss the point. Perry in his lawsuit filing say he only submitted 6,000 signatures of qualified voters, the requirement is 10,000 so (per his own lawsuit) he didn't meet the requirement. (Page 4, Item 18 of the PDF file.)

That would make is claim on the qualifications of the petition gatherer moot since he wouldn't have qualified anyway, there would be no basis for relieve that the court could grant. Well unless you are advocating for activist judges. Is that what you want?

[WorldWatcher]

Not surprising. He could have bypassed this by merely getting the signatures required.

Again, given the way the Establishment is trying to fix the game for Romney, I doubt it.

Virginia established petition requirements in the late 1990's because they new Romney would be running in 2012?

Doesn't make sense.

Gingrich = unknown at this point.

Perry = 6,000 (per his own lawsuit) of the 10,000 required.

Well, clearly the legislature in the 90s was foreseeing.

Well, clearly the legislature in the 90s was foreseeing.

Almost as foreseeing as Obama's parents, grandparents, and everyone else that was involved in concealing his Kenyan birth so that he could one day run for President. So now we have Truthers, Birthers, Deathers, and Balloters.

Dammit. I'm stealing that!

In other Virginia Primary News:

"At the request of the state GOP, the board voted to close the primary. A voter who wants to cast a primary ballot must first sign a pledge of intent to support the Republican nominee in November."

Drawing puts Paul first on Virginia GOP primary ballot - Washington Times

A loyalty pledge.

Heh.

Doesn't to you.

Makes sense to the rest of us. Lt. Governor is Romney's campaign chairman and oddly, all of Romney's opponents are excluded from the ballot.

Nothing to see here.

All? So Ron Paul is no longer an opponent?

Don't you find it odd that the most anti-establishment candidate manages to get on hte ballot if the establishment is behind it?

Meanwhile, Newt, the Biggest Washington Insider can't?

Well, they have to maintain the ILLUSION of a contest. I also suspect that Paul flooded them with so many petitions they couldn't get away with it.

Actually, Ron Paul is Romney's best friend. He's what Pat Buchanan was to Bob Dole in 1996. Someone who scares people just enough to get them to go along with a manniquin as the nominee.

Hopefully, it won't backfire and the "Anybody but Romney" vote doesn't gravitate to Paul out of spite.

Of course. Keeping Ron Paul on is all part of the conspiracy. Somehow Ron Paul could flood them with so many petitions that they couldn't eliminate him. But the candidates you consider more viable, IE Newt and Perry, couldn't.

Dang those evil mormons.

Well, a conspiracy would imply they are doing it in secret. They are pretty much doign this in the open for all to see. Except for the willfully blind.

The only people who "don't" see it are Romney supporters and Democrats, which are getting harder and harder to tell apart these days.

Yes. Everyone is out to get you, Joe.

It's not about me, man.

It's about the GOP committing some kind of weird cult suicide. I truly do not understand their reasoning.

They've convinced themselves that Romney is "electable" (forgetting that he's lost nearly every election he's ever run in) and therefore, the only way to proceed is to either discourage people from running or sandbagging them if they do.

Pass the Koolaid.
