If you are voting in Virginia you won’t get to vote for Perry.
It sounds as though what they did in VA is illegal:

Comment 12.
Of course I don’t want any dirty tricks and I would still vote for Gingrich if I had no other choice. So far the entire election “Year” is a criminal sewer.
I don't care what Romney supporters do with Newt. I'll not support Romney, period.
Any conservative will actively oppose him in the primary, and all full (fiscal + social) conservatives will actively oppose him in the general and work against him.
David Limbaugh said: I prefer Newt Gingrich over Mitt, and Rick Santorum.....over both.

I’m telling you; Rick Santorum will be the surprise coming out of Iowa.
Gallup today has Obama now at 47% approval.

Wait until the campaign really starts and Newt mops the floor with him in the Debates.
I prefer Bachmann more than Santorum, but I’ll vote for Newt if that’s the way to prevent Romney. Who know’s who’ll still be standing when NY’s primary comes? I joined the GOP to vote for Thompson in 2008. He was gone when the primary came. I voted for Romney to prevent McCain.
LOL! A lot of libertartans killed us for the idiotic ban on internet gambling. My only satisfaction was seeing its RINO sponsor, Jim Leach tossed. The weasel SOB backed Obama in 2008. Obama picked him to head the National Endowment for the Humanities!
Assuming you are in VA, you will get to vote for either the flipflopper or the kook, so which will it be?
Well, I never voted for Romney. I voted for Sarah, though. To be frank, I think the nominee this year is going to be Romney (though I hope not), and if so I won’t be voting.
mrsmel: “If a socialist is going to take this nation down (and if either Romney or Obama get elected this is a given), let the left take all the responsibility for it. I don’t want even the name of conservativism anywhere near this coming fiasco.”
razorback-bert: “I will write in my dog, rather than vote for Romney. If I am to have a socialist, I want one that is outed.”
Yeah, what YOU said. Why put off the inevitable? Let’s get it over with so we can start all over again. :)
These things are very real portents in Virginia. The last time this happened the good old boys running state government government managed to get the place burned to the ground and all the young men killed.
Not going to let that happen
Obviously they didn't learn any lessons with McCain, why would they learn them with Romney? But I agree, if he's the nominee, we'll have four more years of Obama.
This is shaping up to be a repeat of 2008, where all the truly conservative candidates are eliminated before the conservative areas even get a vote. And like 2008, it will end badly for the Republic. (As an aside, the spell checker suggested "Asama" and "Omar" for Obama... Seems appropriate, but I wonder who has been playing in the spell checker database?)
El Gato, how you doing? I hope all is well with you and yours.
I can’t stand reading about all this any more. How is it happening? Will we be left with only steaming piles to vote for? Is it a nightmare we can wake up from?
See FReep mail.
But I agree, I've not been on FR much for the same reason. Instead I've been connecting or reconnecting with extended family and some very old friends via Facebook.
I’m still hoping Palin somehow gets back in the race by some crazy circumstance but I try not to think about it.
IF Romney gets the nomination, I’ll be supporting a new party that will take on both the Republican and Democrat parties with the goal of taking down and replacing the GOP. I’m betting there will be a whole lot of “tea party” folks ready, willing and champing at the bit to take on this challenge.
“If David Limbaugh prefers Newt...could this mean Rush does too?”
Rush said, about a week ago, that he LOVES Santorum, although he might love a couple of others, as well.
Go, TEA Party!!
Rebellion is brewing!!
Been saying this since the General Election in 2004 where we started to lose ground in Congress...
Unfortunately, being a part of the “establishment” it is hard to justify my concerns to the leadership in this party, if they still see things through rose-colored glasses...
So now we get what we have been apathetic about since that time...
An energized voting base of mindless twits that vote for the color of one’s skin, before looking at the content of their hearts...
We will not change this liberal/progressive/socialist base at all next year...
So if the GOP leadership wants to continue down this primrose (feckless) path, they do so at their own peril...
I’m not impressed with any of the GOP candidates this go around...But I will do what we have to do to wrestle control back and try to reverse the policies and actions taken by this current administration...
But, when you get right down to it...The democrats will not allow this to happen, even from a position in the minority, and they know exactly what buttons to push to get the current Republicans to cave in and not make waves in the next cycle...
I’m not impressed with our chances either...I don’t think there are enough true conservatives out there who are willing to take the fight to these feckless “representatives” and make an impact...
I would love to be proven wrong...
Think about this. THe GOP wants you and me to leave. They don't WANT us voting in their primaries. If we leave they can get even more progressive candidates. I will stay just to be a thorn in their side.
