Gingrich, Perry Fail To Make Republican Primary Ballot in VA

Post by Flesh Thorn »

Dec. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, atop a recent opinion poll among Virginia Republicans, won’t be on the party’s March 6 primary ballot because he couldn’t get enough signatures.

The Republican Party of Virginia said yesterday that neither Gingrich nor Texas Governor Rick Perry obtained signatures from 10,000 registered voters, including 400 from each of the state’s 11 congressional districts. Two other Republicans, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas, qualified for the primary scheduled for so-called Super Tuesday.

What a crock a shit! He had twice that amount. But for some reason yet to be explained it wasn't "filed in time" :roll: :x . Ahhh the Black Panthers and every communist muslim scumbag they can find will be out in full force for this election. For some reason these words keep runni' thru my head..... :roll: :evil:



We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled againNo, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes.

Yeah and Barry has this one perfected! The dummycrats learned a valuable lesson in 2000. I doubt there will ever be a "fair election" again. :x
