Virginia’s rules are not burdensome and have been well known. They were not changed for this campaign.
It is not Virginia’s fault if these candidates and their highly paid consultants don’t have their act together.
Gingrich is a resident of Virginia - he has no excuse. He obviously has surrounded himself with an incompetent campaign staff. Today it comes out that 1500 signatures were all signed by the same PAID collector.
Is this the kind of incompetence he will surround himself with if he becomes president? We already have one of those in the White House.
The people of Virginia decided how they wanted to run their primaries, but agitators from out of state took the people of Virginia to federal court in an attempt to have a Federal Judge of the Judicial Activist persuasion, force the good people of Virginia to hold a primary as prescribed by the federal government.
In the end, States’ Rights and the 10th Amendment won in the courtroom!
“I for one plan to vote for him in the Illinois primary.”
You will have to wait until the year 2020 as it appears Rick Perry failed to enter his correct home address on some paperwork and will not be on the ballot in Illinois.
“Imagine if Texas had been the first Primary state instead of political backwater states like Iowa and NH. Whole different ballgame.”
Imagine if Rick Perry had not called people who opposed in-state tuitions for illegal aliens and if Perry could actually name the federal departments he wants to abolish.
Actually, the ballgame would be exactly the same.
“Now Texas is being pushed farther back because of some judge’s injunction agains the re-districting which he claims hurts minorities.”
Don’t you really hate it when agitators from out of state file lawsuits against a state’s election rules and hope that an Activist Judge will overturn the will of the people of Texas or the people of Virginia?
Some people have no respect for the 10th Amendment or States’ Rights!
NO..Perry did not "saunter" into the race. Perry took care of his back issues, had serious and successful back surgery and then went into the race to save his country. His only problem was that at the beginning he was physically spent from the surgery, he underestimated his recovery time as most of us do.
I am. (Hint: s/n...TX history :)
Do you like Perry, or not? If you’re ‘well aware of the way he governs’ you should like him very much.
I've supported his Governor campaigns, as he was the best alternative.
I didn't care for his (walked back) guardisil and TransTxCorridor decisions and especially his gross margins/franchise tax legislation. He's done well with business incentives (like the TEF), though.
I think he made a tactical error in his Prez run. He had the support/funds, but made too many gaffes in the debates. I wonder if he got in too quickly after his back surgery...although that still doesn't explain his "heartless" comment :)
Probably. We’d have the same suckers that bought into Herb Cain’s BS or whatever flavour of the month at the time that talked the talk that made follow-the-leader conservatives swoon.
Too bad.
and who meet the qualifications for the office of POTUS stipulated in the U.S. Constitution.
And just for today, I’ve tried to do the same. Perry doesn’t have a prayer and anyone denying it needs a reality check.
It’s time for the other bottom dwellers who are at least conservative to withdraw and endorse Santorum.
No interest in fiscal liberals like Santorum. I don’t want another “compassionate conservative” in the White House.
