The proof is in observing who benifits from all this crap, jack-ass.
That's not "proof." That's "conjecture."
1. evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true, or to produce belief in its truth.
2. anything serving as such evidence: What proof do you have?
3. the act of testing or making trial of anything; test; trial: to put a thing to the proof.
4. the establishment of the truth of anything; demonstration.
5. Law . (in judicial proceedings) evidence having probative weight.
And it's the main argument of the twoofers on why Bush and the oil companies were behind 9/11.

Lord, the jack-asses are out in full flame tonight.
As opposed to the conspiracy theory?Riiiggghhhtt...
No Conspiracy about it... the GOP has been sandbagging anyone who stands opposed to Romney. I'm starting to think they were behind a lot of the Herman Cain BS as well.
The ironic thing is, they've probably made it easier for Obama to win.
yes thats it, It had nothing to do with how Cain handled it all.
You went from sane with saying it was Cain who fucked up, to retard with this.
lol - I have to admit, youve got a point there.So they only people the REPUBLICAN Party lets on the ballot are Mitt and the Crazy Guy, and you don't smell a fix? Really?

Lord, the jack-asses are out in full flame tonight.
Oh fuck off. The silly bastards failed in a major way to do the most basic of things, qualify to get on the ballot. Hell, even Fred Thompson pulled that one off.
You know who must be some of the sorriest losers tonight?
Folks who adored Sarah Palin, and tossed gobs of money at her in hopes she would run...
Then, after the looooong wait, the drawing out of her youbetchas, she broke their hearts and said ...mmm, nope. Oh well.
So, Cain, the magical mystery 9.99 Pizza Man came fluttering anew into their fragile, still-broken hearts. Wallets of cash opened once again. Surely, he would be the nominee, Shirley! Then the grope-a-dope came a crashing.
Aha! Said the forlorn republican voter. Newt will save us. It's a sure bet!
The comforting sound of the non-inside Washington, inside Washington lovable dovable, knock-em-dead Newt! The historian will make history and this time - this time - for certain, the money will not be misspent.
And oh how the checks of cash and hope were sent off.
And, on Christmas eve night, as visions of a bright Newt Civilization danced in their heads...
It
all
came
crumbling
down.
That's a pile of shit.Lord, the jack-asses are out in full flame tonight.
Oh fuck off. The silly bastards failed in a major way to do the most basic of things, qualify to get on the ballot. Hell, even Fred Thompson pulled that one off.
They didnt fail at anything, dumbass. Gingrich had between 12,000 to 14,000 signatures and all he needed were 10,000. Typically you lose about 10% from improper signatures, so Gingrich should have made it easily, but GOP establishment toadies simply tossed enough to deny Gingrich a place on the ballot.
How stupid can you be to think that out of SEVEN CANDIDATES running only TWO could manage to get on the ballot? Usually New York and other union dominated states are the ones hard to qualify for, but I have never heard of a state dissallowing such a huge percentage of the field IN ITS OWN PARTY.
This obviously rigged and you are a dumbass.

Gingrichs' camp only served up 11,050 signatures - ACCORDING TO THE GINGRICH CAMP.
Not enough. He fucked up. Big time.
The dude is so inept he didn't even know HIS OWN STATE of residency doesn't allow primary write-in signatures.
Stop pulling numbers out of your ass and stop blaming others for Fig Newton's failures.
On Wednesday, Gingrich assured a crowd of supporters he had met the threshold for appearing on the ballot, saying he had gathered anywhere from 12,000 to 14,000 signatures.
Virginia requires candidates to obtain 10,000 signatures from registered voters, with at least 400 signatures coming from each of the commonwealth's 11 congressional districts.
Gingrich's spokesman said Wednesday the effort to secure a spot on the Virginia ballot was meant to showcase the campaign's ground game.
"It's a demonstration that Gingrich is outrunning Romney in states beyond Iowa," said press secretary R.C. Hammond.
Those signature requirements, by the way, were 10,000 signatures including 500 in each of the state’s congressional districts. What apparently tripped up Gingrich and Perry was the requirement that petition signers list their addresses.
A Gingrich campaign official prior to the move by the RPV said the problem is how the rules are set up, arguing that the party is, for apparently the first time, cross-checking the addresses that signature-givers gave against the electronic voter database file for accuracies. A name without a proper address match was tossed, the official said.
“What one needs to ask is ‘what percentage of valid, registered voters self-identify a current address that matches voter rolls that the voter might not have updated since 2008”? Are you 100% certain that your address you and all of your neighbors matches current voter rolls? It strikes me that this is not an accurate means to identify registered voters signing for ANY candidate, not just Gingrich,” the official wrote.
The Washington Examiner ran a gleeful hit piece Friday night quoting an anonymous “source with knowledge of the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) petition signature verification process” who said Perry was “dead on arrival” and didn’t follow the “simple” rules required in VA...
The article also notes that the rules were sent to “all the Republican presidential campaigns” in March, but later admits that Perry’s campaign may not have received the detailed instructions because he didn’t enter the race until August.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch informs us that the Romney campaign had their petitions personally delivered by none other than Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, Romney’s VA campaign chairman. ...
The blog goes on to describe the process of gaining ballot access, which is likely the most burdensome in the country:
“A minimum of 10,000 petition signatures collected statewide, including at least 400 from each of its 11 congressional districts. That’s hard enough. But then there are the additional restrictions: The petition circulators must be registered or eligible to vote in Virginia. The signatures must be gathered using the State Board of Elections’ official form, a two-page document which must be reproduced as double-sided. (Single-sided stapled forms are not accepted.) Signatures must be collected on forms that are specific to each city, county and congressional district. Only “qualified” voters may sign a petition. And every single petition form must be sworn and notarized.”
The blogger claims to know top political consultants who turned town lucrative offers working on presidential campaigns because they thought the task could not be accomplished.
To make matters worse, the Republican Party of Virginia appears to have rigged the system in favor of candidates who were able to gather a comfortable excess of names on petitions. Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, Pat Mullins, issued the following (undated) directive:
“Any candidate who submits at least 15,000 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions
statewide and has at least 600 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions from each of the 11 Congressional Districts shall be deemed to have met the threshold for qualification and will be certified (provided, of course, that other requirements of State law have also been met)”
“If any candidate submits fewer than 15,000 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions statewide or fewer than 600 signatures of registered voters on valid petitions in one or more of the 11 Congressional Districts, the Republican Party of Virginia will individually verify signatures until the 10,000 signature statewide threshold and/or 400 per Congressional district is met.”
In other words, if a candidate can gather 50% more signatures than actually required, the standard for those signatures is lower than for the signatures of candidates who gather 14,999 signatures or less. It appears that the Romney campaign, which boasted of gathering “some 16,000″ signatures was able to escape the scrutiny of having every signature individually verified.

Here is what Gingrich said:
Gingrich, Perry fail to qualify for GOP primary ballot in Virginia - CNN.com
Hell, even Keyes got on the ballot back in 2008.
The difference is that the Virginia GOP changed the proscess this year:
Virginia’s GOP Primary Ballot: Romney, Paul… And That’s It. - By Jim Geraghty - The Campaign Spot - National Review Online
...
Gingrich Makes Virginia Ballot; Others Miss OutAccording to the Virginia state board of elections, Gingrich made the ballot with 11,050 signatures, which is short of the 12,000 to 13,000 he said he had at an event in Arlington, Va. on Wednesday night.
Given your prerogatives, then if by some miracle, Mr. Sallow, a Republican should win, who that is left would you like to see in the White HOuse? It sounds like you don't care for any war talk, regardless of the circumstances. Early this morning, I saw on television that a firm link between AlQaeda and Iran was established and announced by the Obama administration. It sounded like war talk coming from the left aisle. What's the deal?Romney's religion is his worst enemy. Mormons aren't Christians according to the religious right. Of course, he's the only candidate that has any chance.
It ain't Romney's religion that's going to sink him. He's already populating he's "cabinent" with ex-Bush PNAC'ers and talking about attacking Iran.
That..and just about every day he says something that is just golden for Democratic ads.
Face it righties... people like Mitt Romney and John McCain are going to be your cream of the crop for a while to come yet. The people who vote in your primaries(your voter base) don't want those wackjobs that you keep offering. That's not saying McCain and Romney don't have their own form of wackjobbery, but they are more tolerable to your voting base.
People don't like your ideologies.
We democrats suffer the same problems... we get big talkers who win in our primaries(and maybe even elections), but they're big talkers... and don't do half the stuff they promised. We need people with real convictions, who don't try and appease everyone at every corner.
10,000 signatures out of a state which cast 3.7 million votes in the last presidential election- and he had MONTHS -- MONTHS to do it...
and still the Fig Newton lickers think it was somebody else's fault.
Newt sumbitted 12-14K signatures.
