NRA Victorious Over Outsider Anti-Gun Influence in Virginia Elections

The National Rifle Association was victorious in Virginia last night after billionaire Michael Bloomberg and other outside gun control advocates attempted to influence local Senate elections.

As Matt has already noted, this means long time Clinton ally and Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe will be forced to work with a Republican majority until the end of his term.

Last month, McAuliffe issued a series of gun control executive orders after failing to get legislation passed by Republicans.

As jojo biden would say, "One word. Gov. Muckawful executive action." The assclown terry mac is much like the lyin' king. He don't care about no steenkin' legislators. But, good job conservative Virginians. Hopefully the pubs you elected are actual conservatives.

Maybe while they’re working to make it illegal to point out the problems with the theory of man-made global warming, they can also make it illegal to advocate for the sanctity of the Second Amendment. That would solve their little NRA problem.

Hillary is self-destructing by demanding more gun controls. Seems like a high price to pay just to “out-left” Bernie Sanders?

Words I, for one, always like to hear.

So, my concern is that with the continuation of the pubs control in VA, Kentucky electing an anti obama care/’tea party’ republican gov, SanFran landslide tossing it’s sanctuary lovin’ sheriff, Houstonians nixing the gay protection issue, will that help invigorate the IPOS/LPOS/SPOS/UPOS to turn out in record numbers for the ‘16 (s)elections?

Again, as jojo biden would say: “One word. He has the support of the clintoon foundation.” Baffles the crap out of me too. But, the d.c. beltway bedroom communities house a ‘hole’ bunch of lib gov employees. They no doubt carry the state for idiots like t. mac. Not to say that there aren’t conservatives in the vicinity, they’re just outnumbered.

That would be due to the indigent, felons, and the dead.

It was reported that exmayor Bloomberg spent 2.2 million on 2 state senate races in Virginia and came up empty

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

IPOS/LPOS/SPOS/UPOS

I don't know what those are. sorry.

But if you are asking if these events will help turnout the DNC vote, I think a lot of democrat voters are in hiding. Either embarrassed or disgruntled, I think many will whistle past the graveyard on election day and just not vote. I know some that don't want to talk about whether or not they voted for Obama. Are they going to want to relive that if Hillary gets elected. I think most would rather abstain and if Hillary is a failure they can say they didn't vote for her. If a Republican wins they can blame Obama. Either way, liberals don't want to be responsible or accountable when feces finds fan.

Ya know the people have spoken again. Since I know Polls are and can be skewed, as with the 2012 elections, its good to know by the results that Americans are thinking like me for the most part. However, Zero is going to do as much harm as possible in the next year and this makes me mad.

Off subject somewhat at the gym I noticed the WONDERFUL new NRA ads do not have close caption. All the other adverts do. I think its on purpose. The ads are really great. Now how do we possibly go about to educate fellow Americans? I am not sure this is possible. SO many just don't care. Stay home on election day! Thank you

I’d rather he die a very rich man, and his descendants throw it away on hookers and blow, instead of his fascist agenda.

“I would be delighted to see Bloomie die a poor man.”

Rich or poor, you can’t take it with you. And truly it is written, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven.”

We speak the same language! LOL

Barry released 6000 law breakers and GET THIS -

Today from the Patriot Post:
20% of the 6,000 offenders just released were also in jail for illegal firearms possession while committing drug offenses.” So much for gun control and background checks.
