Gingrich, Perry fail to qualify for GOP Primary ballot in Virginia

Heh. So the Newster failed to qualify for the Virginia primary as well as Perry; to be honest, I'm surprised. After all Newt (and Perry) is not some rank amateur from the sticks. He's a veteran professional politician, for Heaven's sake (as is Perry).

This indicates that Gingrich is lacking in on-the-ground organizational competence, and it certainly doesn't bode well for his campaign going forward (which is fine with me).

So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to one and all. Enjoy the holidays. With this little bit of news, I know I will; anything that makes Teabaggers gnash teeth, wail, and rend their garments is good news for America.

currently in existence for the VA GOP primary, you cannot write-in a candidate; such a ballot would be disqualified.

Which means that the Freepers will have to choose between Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.

Heh.

I love it when a plan comes together.

They are just on the campaign trail to sell books.

don't know if they do or not.

The very fact that the GOP (and the Teabaggers in particular) are seriously considering Gingrich to be their standard-bearer, a man of dubious personal morality and ethics, a tired political re-tread and hack, shows the utter depths of desperation and moral/intellectual bankruptcy that the Right has sunk to.

My heavens.... Just when you think they can't become more ridiculous.

GOP wanna-be's are truly pathetic. In my lifetime of four decades, I've never seen a major U.S. political party put forward such risible candidates for the highest office in the land. Ron Paul? A racist anti-Semite; Michelle Bachmann, an utter lunatic. Rick Santorum, an extremist who would be openly mocked in any sensible civilized democratic society. Rick Perry, an incoherent buffoon who apparently is incapable of stringing together a single sentence. Newt Gingrich, a political re-tread and man who's view of the Constitution he claims to be a scholar of is highly dubious, to put it mildly. John Huntsman and Mitt Romney, two men who are somewhat tolerable, but owing to the extremism now on full lunatic display in the GOP are unelectable because the GOP base will never even consider them for a moment owing largely to religious prejudice.

The GOP has become a party of the insane; the inmates have taken over the asylum,

sociopaths, most of whom are ignorant, to boot. The whole party, not just the top tier. The republican party is what happens when the USA quits funding education and mental health.

Defunding education and mental health services is their way of propagating.

Happy Holidays!

eeek

These two are not serious candidates. They are in it for the publicity as most of them are.

I think Ed Schultz or Lawrence O'Donnell said something about maybe getting their own show on Fox News.

From Urban Dictionary:

"wallflower"

"Usually refers to people who are shy and fade into the background,
that none really knows or pays any attention to."

It will be all over by Vieginia's primary on March 6, anyway, which happens to be the "Super Tuesday."

The Georgia Venomous Newt is extinct.

Romney wins the GOP nomination by attrition. Obama wins re-election likewise.

As scary as these clowns may be; what scares me even more is that some people think they are qualified to be president.

They don't even qualify to tie my shoes. What a joke the GOP has become.

SARCASM

Just like the Republicans put up a sacrificial lamb against Roosevelt. They know they wouldnt win, but they needed to stay relevant.

Same here. They know they wont win and they know the economy isnt gonna get better in the next 4 years. Better to let the democrat take all the blame for it and then sent in your guy in 2016 when the ship has been (almost) righted.

Birth certificate, social security card, marriage license, divorce papers (voluminous for Newtie), and a current utility bill. Hey, if it's good enough for a Black person to vote in the South...
