Tea Party in Virginia turns up the heat in GOP race

More hard evidence the Tea Party is no extension of GOP brass. In a bold move, the Board of the Hampton Roads Tea Party (SE Virginia - Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth) has endorsed a Republican primary candidate in VA-2 who is NOT the hand-picked favorite of the Republican establishment. Navy veteran and businessman Ben Loyola is the Tea Party Board's fave, over presumed front-runner Scott Rigell, for the GOP nod to go against freshman D Glenn Nye in November. This is a hotly contested, widely watched race that will no doubt draw big media and big money. Go to the Tea Party website and read up.

I just read an article on Facebook about the Tea Party’s choice beating the GOP chosen one in Idaho. Sarah had endorsed the GOP favorite too.

I know. I like Sarah a lot but, to some extent, she plays the same ol’ political game I’m really sick of.

I don't think you have your information correct.

Labrador, who won the Primary, is an Illegal Immigration Lawyer and is also, either a Senator or Representative in the ID State Senate or House.

In the not too distant past, he has voted against legislation that would have cut off benefits to Illegals.

Sarah's guy was the better candidate, all around, he was better on the border, and just as good or better, on all other conservative issues.

Google and Research is your friend, FRiend!

The article I read was posted by the Tea Party. Since I don’t live in Idaho I don’t know anything about either of them. Just stating what I read.

We seem to have an infestation of either very ignorant posters, liers, or extreme irrational purists.

I sure there is a healthy mixture of Mythites and Paulbots in the mix.

I was referring to McCain whom the other poster brought up....supporting him for payback even tho he’s a lousy choice.

A simple google search on Labrador and Illegal Immigration would shed some light on the subject for you.

One such link from a google points out some awful facts about Labrador.

Please ignore my last rude comment.

Thanks for posting that information at the Tea Party.

No response from the Tea Party yet.

Here's a link to Labrador's press statement on his stance on illegal immigration. Sorry I can't post a hyperlink anymore. HTML quit working about 2 weeks ago and I can't figure out what the problem is.

http://www.labrador4idaho.com/2010/05/rauls-comments-on-immigration-for-your-eyes-also/

He's says he's not for amnesty, but I'm not so sure about that.
