That's pretty lame. It should have been relatively easy for all of the top contenders to get the required signatures considering that it's only around 100 signatures per county and most of it could be done in just a few. It always got done in the past. Bottom line, they just didn't try and decided to spend their money and time in other states hoping Virginia would change the rules to suit them. There's already a lot of talk from legislators to do just that. What a shame, if these guys can't be assed to reach out to Virginians, why should they deserve to get on the ballot?

I'm looking forward to 2012, I fully expect Obama to win round two. I can't wait to see what lunatic the GOP picks as a candidate.

GE paid for their tax breaks to the tune of 40 million dollars in lobbying last year. GE employs folks from congressional tax writing committees, the IRS and treasury. If you happen to work in tax policy making, doing favors for GE means when you retire you'll be guaranteed a fat no-work job with killer salary and benefits at GE.

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I used a keyboard to write "there is no god", specifically a purple iMac keyboard.

What the hell guys? Republicans have been in power in the House for a quarter of a year and the economy is still in the toilet, job growth is dismal, we're still in a recession, deficit through the roof, etc. Why isn't the economy fixed yet? The only interesting thing they have accomplished is making it so that coffee served in the congressional coffee shop is now serving the brown stuff in styrofoam cups. Oh and recently one republican house rep resigned after getting busted trolling for trannies on craigslist.

Call the customer service number and describe the issue.

It depends on who you are talking to. Yea, most of us rational people just over look it but some folks who are mentally instable delve on things. We have all been in fights at one point in our lives, usually when we were really young, and should know all to well how some bad language starts some unpleasant crap.

That is a good point to make. IN the UK, their politicians are seriously considering passing law to change the way kitchen knives are made to prevent death from violence. It's sick, the instrument of violence isn't the issue. The violence itself is the issue. It's a social problem and we need to look at it as such. They have banned everything you can think of and they still have the same problems we have to contend with.

It's a conversation  worth having because I think most people would line up like sheep and do as they are told.

Who cares about the "right" to possess one?

Getting a gun is as easy as going to your local drug dealer and popping the question. 700 dollars later you have a "pop-n-drop" and .gov doesn't know about it. Gun control idiots have no flee'n clue about reality.
