Virginia voters on Tuesday chose congressional candidate David Brat, an underfunded, tea party-supported economics professor, over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a stunning Republican primary election.

And U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Milford) sees that as a good sign in his race against Republican fundraising juggernaut David Trott.

Foreclosure King Dave Trott wants to oust anti-amnesty Bentivolio. Romney has backed his first RINO challenger.

Bentivolio shouts down Dreamers and tells them to get out of his office. We wont see this from Trott.

Trott needs to trot away.

Chamber maiden Dave Trott doesn’t even mention immigration on his website.

Apparently Dave Trott is now opposed to amnesty.

I don’t buy sudden conversions. Bentivolio has a history of being anti amnesty.

Bentivolio shouts down dreamers.

There are delusional republicans who say they are against amnesty but open to amnesty to 2 million Dreamers.

Kerry pulls no punches.

Bentivolio also served 3 tours of duty in at least 2 different theaters.

Romney, Adelson and the foreclosure king think Bentivolio has no right to disagree on those issues.

Really all that needs to be said here.

But Trott also showed some strength Tuesday, further solidifying his image as a Republican establishment favorite with an endorsement from former presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

How often is it that the incumbent has a funding disadvantage?

He’s a Paulbot and an incredibility weak incumbent who got elected by accident. I hope he loses a GOP primary before he has a chance to lose a general election (he actually lost in 2012 in the special election for the last couple months of McCotter’s term (to a nobody rat), he won the full term because of favorable redistricting and a rat opponent with a Pakastani name). I don’t give a damn if the “establishment” dislikes him or not.

Right now, I would take a Paulbot over a Rovebot. At least He has a chance of being a representative of the people, while eGOP really does not. I came of age in the 60’s and for the first time, I kind of agree with the phrase, “Down with the Establishment.”

He’s not backed by the open borders chamber of commerce and the moderates with a mouthful of Obama keep screeching about him being a “paulbot” which is a term that seems to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Bentivolio is anti-amnesty-—for now. When L. Ron Paul (who has always supported open borders, as do most Libertarians) gives the signal, Bentivolio (and Amash, and Massey, and maybe Brat?) will start saying that it is Economics 101 that we shouldn’t have barriers to the importation of workers any more than we should have barriers to the importation of raw materials, and the Paulistinians will vote with the liberal Democrats on amnesty just as they do on some other issues.

And while Bentivolio did serve our country honorably and might be the most patriotic reindeer rancher in all of Michigan, that doesn’t mean that he’s an effective politician, much less a strong general-election candidate (as the November 2012 results show).

You’re a “moderate”

Moderates are lying manipulative bottom feeding scum who spend their lives on their knees servicing democrats whenever possible.

That’s me showing utter contempt for your kind.

It means a supporter of Ron Paul and his agenda, which often conflicts with the conservative agenda.

The other (and worse) Paulbot in the MI delegation, Justin Amash, is much more accurately described as a “moderate” than either Auh2 or myself.

Please spare me any more of your disgusting comments about what’s in my mouth.

I am more conservative in my little pinky than you’ll ever be in your entire Paulistinian body.

Hey, Rand the Great, son of L. Ron himself, is pushing hard fir amnesty: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3166595/posts. How long before their suck-ups Amash and Bentivolio follow suit, and declare that amnesty is the “true freedom-based option”?

It’s not to late for you to leave the Ronulan Cult. Better do it now, before you find yourself parroting the new Paultard talking points on open borders, legalized heroin and a nuclear Iran.

You can both kiss my ass, lying pieces of garbage who have to call for reinforcement like the cowards you are.

Not that crap again, this a publicly viewed DISCUSSION forum. I bet you wouldn't care about how many people I pinged if you had agreed with what I said.

Next tell me to shut up because I'm not from Michigan, because it's not like Justin's sometimes liberal votes effect the entire country or anything, right?
