Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry Fail to Qualify for Virginia Primary Ballot

[shortylickens]

Good, now I dont even have to look at his name on the screen.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Newt's slipping; he failed to include the "Liberal Media" when casting blame for his petition failure...

 

[UberNeuman]

all he can do now is bitch and moan.

Has he done anything other than that?

 

[UberNeuman]

Newt's problem is that he thought it was Vagina and he could just slip on in....

 

[Balt]

Oh, it's on! Thus emerged - GINGRICH! To attack Virginia's failed system...

I guess Newt doesn't respect states' rights. He has only himself to blame.

Wow, that is a serious charge and is news to me. Do you have a link for this?

Yep, many, but here is one from the local area:

SOUTH BEND - Minus suspected fakes, then Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama likely fell short of the number of signatures needed to appear on the 2008 Indiana primary ballot, and it’s possible his opponent, Hillary Clinton, did as well, according to information obtained by The Tribune as part of an investigation into suspected ballot petition fraud.

Presidential candidates must collect at least 500 signatures in each of the state’s nine congressional districts to appear on the statewide primary ballot in Indiana.
As reported Sunday, The Tribune, in conjunction with Howey Politics Indiana, has uncovered scores of fake signatures on both the Obama and Clinton petitions in the 2nd Congressional District and specifically St. Joseph County.

Dozens of people whose signatures appear on the Clinton petition have told The Tribune they did not sign the document, and Erich Speckin, a forensic document analyst hired by the paper and Howey Politics identified at least 19 suspected fake Obama petition pages.
Those Obama pages account for more than 100 signatures, meaning, minus the fakes, the former senator likely would not have qualified for ballot placement in the state.

Are you serious? (I know you know he's Bs-ing, don't worry) It's cybrtroll posting, he never has proof. He has "faith" it's true.

He and Rick Santorum are the only two people in the US that still believe the US found WMD in Iraq, lol

Odd, nonProfJohn thought the same way..

Do you feel stupid posting this hours after I posted a link to the story? Do you feel even more stupid having it appear directly under my post?

I will say that you ARE pretty stupid for leaving the post here after seeing it appear directly under my post with a link to the story, posted hours before your post.

only former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul are officially on the primary ballot.

Looks like GOP field is down to two.

LOL is all I can say. Gingrich got newtered.

I'm not surpirsed at Newt-he runs a very top down campaign and underfunded/understaffed. He has already burnt through numerous professional staffers who would have prevernted this sort of fiasco. Example: Newt made a very public last minute flight to VA to personally turn in the petitions-a staffer could have done this routine task more efficiently and far cheaper.

I am surprised at Perry's failure, though. He has a huge, very professional staff flooded with cash. Sounds like the weak support for Perry has just totally evaporated.

As an aside, those requirements just to be on the ballot for a primary seem mighty strict to me.

Those requirements are there to weed out the incompetent. I'm not surprised they didn't get on.

\is there a double eye-roll icon - cause I'm going to need it....

Not surprising. Seems republicans can never take responsibility for their own actions. It's always seems to be someone else's fault and not their own.

He knew what the requirements were and still failed. And he LIVES in VA.

The GOP candidates are performing as poorly as the Packers did in the 70s and 80s. While many people at that time had foam "Packer Bricks" to throw at their TVs, GOP apologists on P&N still claim everything is OK and that it will be a piece of cake to win in November.

If I were a Republican (I'm not registered with any party), I'd be getting these to throw:

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ladies and gentleman your front runner Newt gin..... oh, nm.

The title should have stopped at the word fail.

Only if it's the state he's governing.

Kind of funny the GOP will sue when the rules to vote and get on ballots don't suit them. Meanwhile they are going out of their way to place more rules and restrictions on voting which disproportionally effect minorities, the elderly and students.

My hope is it comes back to bite them in the ass!

"the elderly" only applies in certain states. Probably those states where the elderly vote dem.

What I find hilarious is the the party of "Fiscal Conservatism" (LMFAO) spends million and millions of Taxpayer dollars to stack the deck in their favor.

Gee, I've been wondering if he was pj. Similar posting style, lies mixed with 1% of truth thrown in, total denial when presented facts to dispute, moving on when proved wrong.

 

[GarfieldtheCat]

Ah, poor pj (or whoever you are).

CallmeJoe called it right on the first page, calling out your lies.

There is an investigation into possible petition fraud in one county in Indiana that our favorite cybrtroll has inflated into a statewide scandal that he imagines is bringing down the entire state Democratic Party.

His thread on the subject is here

So no, I don't feel bad calling you clueless, since it's the truth. Anyone who gets mentioned in the same sentence as agreeing with Rick Santorum has severe issues, and you fit that to a "T". Believing WMD in Iraq is truly amazing. Especially since you two are the only people lef tin the US that think that. Wouldn't surprise me if you are a birther too.

So, are you a birther? Do you believe Obama was born in the US? Care to answer for the record?
