“The base wanted to see him link arms with Cruz,” Kenney said. “At some point you dance with the one who brung you. You stay true to your friends.”
Ya think?
It’s my understanding that Cuccinelli had absolutely no problem associating with Cruz.
RINOs are mostly loosers{sic].
The WaPo is trying to throw another VA election. They almost singlehandedly put Jim Webb in office.
There’s a libertarian candidate in the mix who together with Cuccinelli pull in far more voters than McAuliffe.
Cuccinelli is cowering to Northern Virginia which is filled with federal workers. I call it the beltway sewage leak into Virginia.
What Cuccinelli should do is immediately consult with Palin and Cruz to see how to unite with the libertarian faction.
The fact that McAuliffe, the one who sold golf games with Clinton, can be governor shows this country is lost.
Years ago, I knew a Bircher who swore that the Obenshain plane crash in ‘78 was fishy. I laughed @ him.
But since, the VA GOP has been so retarded that I just wonder ...
Cuccinelli is the smartest guy they’ve run since Ollie was sabotaged. He’s being knifed also. I hate the VA GOP! I’d vote for Sarvis, but he’s the only dumb Libertarian I’ve run across. That’s another sad story!
I guess VA used up all its’ statesmen 200 years ago ... :(
Tom Davis is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Republicans nationwide.
Davis, an extremist RINO, is one of the most divisive people in politics. He is pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, pro-taxes. He attacks fellow Republicans more than Democrats. Davis was the Republican House Campaign Committee head when the Republicans lost the House in 2006.
He retired from Congress when he saw that his far left Republicanism would lose to a liberal Democrat, and parlayed it into a seven figure lobbyist job. His wife, a state senator advocating the same liberal Republican/Democrat lite policies as him has gone down in two smashing defeats.
Liberal voices like the Washington Post and the rest of the MSM love to trot him out to blast any conservative Republican. He and his liberal limousine RINO cohort just can’t stand conservatives in power in Virginia, and would rather lose than not have one of their own in charge.
If Cucinelli loses, in what should have been a slam dunk against a corrupt, incompetent buffoon like Terry McAuliffe, it is because of RINOs like Davis who would rather support Democrats than conservatives.
If anybody in “the base” was considering NOT voting for Ken, there is no hope for the base. Ken is the base. He doesn’t have to appear with Ted Cruz to prove himself.
Sometimes “the base” is an ass.
Frankly, a lot of the base actually does think the shutdown was an unwise strategy. It certainly isn’t helping to win election for a republican in a state that is dominated by federal employees.
Given the most-certain outcome that the shutdown will not acheive any of the stated aims, and will likely damage the ability to achieve those goals, it may be that Ken was a lot smarter than some of those in “the base”, and maybe we should have listened to him.
Anyway, the base would be stupid not to stand with the man who has stood with them for his entire career.
It would also be nice if the base would actually put it’s money into races — it is a shame that Ken is having to try to win this race with half the money Terri has to spread lies.
Why doesn’t Tom Davis just STFU? He didn’t have the courage to face possibly losing after ‘06, so he just ‘retired,’ handing his seat over to a lowlife Dem. (OK, so what’s the difference between a lowlife Dem and a lowlife Repub like Davis? Not much.) Lately, he has taken every opportunity to come out and badmouth the party. Nary a bad word from Davis about the slime McAuliffe and how bad he would be for VA.
Fixed it.
Well they can try to out democrat the Democrats.
Cuccinelli’s primary deficit is with women who cling to the “right” to a dead baby. Female voters are gravitating to McAuliffe by 20%. Apparently that sentiment overrides EVERYTHING else.
Without Virginia, the Republic is lost. I think of the USA in nostalgic, heartbreaking, terms these days.
A couple weeks ago Karl Rove claimed that the fantastic 2010 elections with huge Conservative and TEA Party support was won for Republicans by the independents.
The NE establishment rinos don’t need or want us Conservatives or the TEA Party fine, it’s a shared sentiment.
That was enough for me as I know Davis as Republican as say, John McCain, Lindsey Graham or Peter King!
Another big-mouth bloviator, pro-abortion "moderate," who was blown out of office.
One who never missed the opportunity to stab a fellow Republican in the back!
Getting political advice from him is tantamount to getting it from Dafid Brooks!
“He noted Cuccinelli’s decision not to appear with Sen.Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) at a recent dinner in Richmond.”
Was there more than one dinner in Richmond? Cruz and Cuccinelli were both at a dinner in Richmond last week. Or is he saying they were not on the stage together?
“Let me say for a second how proud I am of my friend Ken Cuccinelli,” Cruz said. “Ken is smart. He’s principled. And he’s fearless. And that last characteristic in particular is a rare, rare commodity in elected life.”
As Virginia’s AG, Cuccinelli was one of the prime plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case against ObamaCare, which went down in flames because the faggot Chief Justice lost his nerve.
Are the governor and lieutenant governor elected as a set in Virginia? Or if Cuccinelli loses is there still a chance that Jackson could still win?
Next time the RINO’s demand we vote for and fund their candidates as the “lesser of 2 evils”. just remember the RINO’s never ever return the favor.
If the Republicans can’t figure out how to beat the Clintonian grifter slimeball McAuliffe, there really is no hope for the party.
