War Begins: Slandering Conservatives has Started [Empire Strikes Back in No. Virginia Campaign]
Canada Free Press ^ | December 20, 2013 | Jonathon Moseley

Posted on 12/20/2013 8:41:45 AM PST by Moseley

The attacks have begun. The Republican establishment in the U.S.A. has now actually started the shooting war in the 2014 primary elections they have been threatening against conservative candidates for Congress.

“Hopefully we’ll go into eight to 10 races and beat the snot out of them,” said former Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio. His new political group, Defending Main Street, plans to raise $8 million to defeat tea-party candidates and elect moderate Republicans instead. “We’re going to be very aggressive and we’re going to get in their faces.” LaTourette was a close ally of moderate Republican Speaker John Boehner in the U.S. House.

On December 19, 2013, the Weekly Standard http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/spousal-rape-defending-republican-considering-running-house_771483.html launched a smear – what used to be called a “lie” in the quaint old days – against Virginia State Senator Dick Black. The smear was promoted by The Drudge Report linking to the story. Drudge refused to take down the smear after many protests. It is not a story about news, but the kind of opposition research spread by election campaigns going negative.

The story consisted of posting a campaign ad by a Democrat opponent in 2011, under an extremely inflammatory headline. Dick Black won that campaign in 2011 with 57% of the vote. The story – and the headline – suggests that Dick Black would be unelectable in 2014 if nominated for U.S. Congress. Yet the Democrat Shawn Mitchell who ran the TV ad in 2011 lost with only 42.8% of the vote.

What’s the occasion? On December 17, 2013, seventeen-term moderate Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf announced he will not seek re-election on November 4, 2014. So Virginia’s Tenth Congressional District in Northern Virginia will now be an open battle in 2014.

Former JAG attorney Col. Dick Black – a skilled campaigner who moves quickly – announced an exploratory committee. Then Delegate Bob Marshall dropped out of consideration and endorsed Black. Although Black’s political career was very active long before the tea party, he might be counted tea party consistent.

That same Tuesday when Wolf announced, an important website Virginia Virtucon http://virginiavirtucon.wordpress.com/ posted a poll with a long list of potential candidates. Virginia Delegate Barbara Comstock and Senator Dick Black have been trading first and second place. The site is followed by very politically involved Virginia activists. So it suddenly looked like conservative Dick Black could shape up into a leading contender.

The smear accuses Col. Dick Black of supporting husbands raping their wives, that Black opposed laws against spousal rape. So we have Bill Kristol’s magazine spreading the liberal “war on women” scam. This is not the first time the Weekly Standard has taken point for inaccurate hatchet jobs on conservative candidates.

However, incredibly, Dick Black actually voted for the bill in question, H.B. 488. On February 7, 2002, then Delegate Black pointed out problems with the bill – but voted for it after those problems were fixed.

Furthermore, Senator Black is the only member of the General Assembly who actually prosecuted a case of spousal rape – successfully—as a former JAG officer in the military. The Judge Advocate General attorney prosecuted many men guilty of domestic violence in general.

In the 2002 floor speech replayed in the Democrat campaign ad, it is unmistakably clear that Dick Black was pointing out that the law was unworkable as drafted. Black obviously was not arguing for spousal rape or the legal opportunity for it. It is crystal clear that Black was identifying – as a former prosecutor – how the law would have problems in the courtroom from a prosecutor’s perspective. It was rewritten and polished. Black then voted for it, all within days.

Fighting the Tea Party and calling themselves Republicans?

I don’t think so.

They aren’t Republicans.

The concept of spousal rape is a significant victory for Satan. I support anyone who opposes it.

Why vote Republican, when you can just vote Democrat, and get the same deal. We don’t need any more spineless Republicans we need candidates with Sisu.

I'm going to buy a Duck Commander call and use it every time one of these GOPe pukes speaks publically. I urge all TEA Party types to do the same.

Here's the LINK to the Duck Commander site.

They are going to keep on until Conservatives, who have no ballot choice but a RINO OR a Liberal Dem, will vote for the Dems and the GOPe will slowly die.

I can't think of a more myopic strategy?

Who do these "moderates" think is going to vote for them if they should prevail?

The democrats?

I hope Rove et al are so humilated come primary season that they follow their true hearts and just join the bj clinton wing of democrat party.

Too bad RINOs can't be redirected towards the real enemy.

This fool thinks he is going to beat the TEA Party with campaign money in the primaries next year. Ted Cruz...SEN. Ted Cruz...was out-spent 8-1 by establishment GOP candidate Dewhurst in TX. How’d that work out for you?

There aren’t enough old White millionaire corporate welfare recipients to out- vote the TEA Party, stupid.

What a GREAT idea! Since these pigs are all hoping to keep sucking out of the federal trough just like Democrats, you could say, “If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...”

Pubbies are collectivists, too! Don’t you know that? Go read the history of how “progressive” they were starting in the 1920s! Been that way ever since.

Read my tag line.

And if you don’t like it you can fire all of them. The Icelanders did it to theirs!

I thought of the same thing! Show up at opposition rallys with bunches of duck calls. It will become our new symbol.

Northern VA needs a huge dose of Duck Dynasty.

That's very 'Obama' of him. They'd better be careful about that. They're to pull back a nub.

To: Jack Hydrazine; All

80 % of voters opposed Obamacare, in 2009. and The TEA Party was born.

Now the RINO Establishment has agreed to fund Obamacare for the next two years, thanks to the backstabbing efforts of RINO Ryan.

It will be a pleasure to do battle with the RINO Establishment, because they only represent the low information RINO voters.

The High Information REPUBLICAN voters might want to ponder the following:

_______________

Obama NEEDS Obamacare to fail, and fail soon!

Time-is-a-wastin’!

So far the design flaws that Bolsheviks Pelosi, Reid and Jarrett have deliberately put into Obamacare have worked to perfection: Obamacare will be “forced” to become a Single Payor System within a year!

Ponder this::

The first purpose of Obamacare was to destroy Private Medical Insurance Industry in the United States of America.

Each time that Barry S. illegally changes his instrument of destruction, (Obamacare), the expense to the Private Insurance Companies goes up.

Thus, Barry S. has a perfect ratcheting destruction mechanism to destroy the Insurance Companies, because he knows that for the next two years the RINOs, thanks to RINO Ryan, will do NOTHING to stop him.

Hence, as more and more “problems” that Reid and Pelosi have built into Obamacare continue to be “discovered” by the gullible RINOs, the better it is for Obamacre to achieve its first purpose of destruction of the private Medical Insurance Industry.

_____________________

As Bolsheviks, Pelosi, Reid, Jarrett and Obama see the Insurance Companies as competition for their goal of controlling the flow of money from the buyers of insurance policies.

Hence, the basic Bolshevik desire “To Eliminate the Middle Man,” i.e. the Private Insurance Companies, starting with Medical Insurance Companies.

_________

The second purpose of Obamacare is to complete a Marxist takeover of all Medical Insurance payments, as Marxist Reid brazenly calls it “A Single Payer System.” [ Duh, aren’t ALL Communist Plans a single payor system?]

_____________

As more and more Ponzi Schemes are required to continue to buy the votes for Democrat politicians, Bolsheviks Pelosi, Reid, Jarrett and Obama will need to Nationalize even more of the USA Economy.

With currently 40 % of the US Federal Annual Spending dependent on borrowing from strangers, (US Bonds), and 60 % projected to be spent per year within a decade, The Bolsheviks must have Obamcare fail soon so the other industries, such as the Oil and Gas Industry can become Nationalized.

There is a lot of “low-hanging fruit” for the Bolsheviks to pick, because the gullible Congressional RINOs will continue to help “their good friends across the aisle.”

_______________

Roll out the OBAMACARE NIGHTMARE,
The Libs are havin’ a barrel of FUN!
Roll out the OBAMACARE NIGHTMARE,
The Libs have the RINOs on the RUN!

Latourette was a mediocre Congressman, so all you should expect out of him will be support for other mediocre republicans.

And if you run into him, ask him about him telephoning his wife from DC to tell her he was divorcing her to marry a lobbyist that he was sleeping with.

A paragon of virtue and good sense he ain't.
