The Virginia gubernatorial race was a huge victory for the Tea Party movement. Wait a minute! Democrat McAuliffe “won,” you say. How could this be a victory for the Tea Party movement and a positive precursor for the 2014 mid-terms? Here’s how:

Give no money to the RNC. Work hard in your community to defeat RINOs. There are many battles ahead. Give no quarter.
The list of big-R Republicans who either supported MacAulliffe outright, surreptitiously undermined Cuccinelli or did nothing to support Cuccinelli is lengthy. Mark Levin says it best:
“Many in the GOP establishment, from major fundraisers and consultants, to GOP officeholders such as the GOP Lt. Gov and mayor of Virginia Beach, have either trashed Attorney General Ken Cuccinnelli or endorsed McAuliffe outright. The GOP national machine has done next to nothing for Cuccinnelli. And GOP bag man, Karl Rove, is all over Fox without a word of support for Cuccinnelli, while he schemes and whispers behind the scenes against conservatives nationwide.”
...
“The ruling class in Washington is clearly united in one respect: to wipe out conservative resistance to their corruption, cronyism, and nation-killing policies. “
The Va race was too close for a republican to win. It could easily be stolen.
Not at all. It was a loss.
Last night Virginia won the trifecta. They elected Marxists to the governorship, the attorney governor and the state attorney general. The marxists were able to steal the attorney general office early this morning after trailing all night long. The fraud never ends with these bastards. For hours and hours the republican was ahead by 7,000 votes, which 7 pricincts not reporting. No word at all from these pricincts for hours and hours and hours. The marxists all hundled together to see how they could make damn certain that when the pricincts did come in they would go for their stooge. They got their wish early this morning. Pricincts came in and presto the marxist now leads with only 3 left to be reported and no way the he can lose the lead. The marxists have election fraud down to a fine art. And the republicans cover down like a dog in heat and never say a word about it. It’s like they’ve been paid off to take their medicine like a man.
As someone else on this forum said “A loss is a loss”. Why try to find a silver lining in the ineptness of the stupid party. It is time for the GOP to relegated to 3rd party status and it must happen before Nov 4, 2104. We cannot continue under a 1-1/2 party system as the country truly is transformed in the USSA.
The smallest minority in the world is the individual, as Beck says.
We have no protection, we are being raped by the majority over and over and over and it is going to get much, much worse.
And, women fail to impress me.
In most cases...what a pitiful creature they have become.
I am trying to remain nice about it, that isn’t going to last for much longer.
Small impact.
Biggest problem was the DC Federal Workers, and the Democrat Inevitables: Womb Warrior Women, Congenital Democrat Blacks and growing Democrat Hispanics.
But even so, if enough people who DON’T fall into that category had voted GOP, Cuchinelli would be the next governor. ALSO, he failed to get adequate support from the RINO Republican establishment which DIDN’T want him to win.
The Democrat funded libertarian lost him more votes than McAuliff.
DESPITE all that, he kept getting closer and closer with each week and might have pulled it off in one week.
McAuliff’s win, like Obama’s was hardly a landslide.
If the GOP caves on illegal invaders, we will see more of this kind of victory.
This is the point that actually concerns me greatly. Forget the margin of victory for a moment - the Dems won a state-wide race in Virginia by running Terry McAuliffe! Even the most liberal people I talked to (and I live in NYC, so that's saying a lot) think he's a worthless POS. That he could win a state-wide race in Virginia is, to me, is a terrifying prospect.
Virginia will get everything it deserves.
Friend, you appear to be stuck in an obsolete political mindset. We've passed the point of business-as-usual with this game. There's now an undeclared civil war going on, and the other side is hell bent on overthrowing the Constitution and 240 years of American culture and history. The worst among them would have no problem shipping you and I off to some gulag, never to be seen again.
Political candidates on our side either understand this, and are willing to stand up and fight for our basic American ideals, or they're not. Squish RINOs who 'play ball' with Commies, are as much our enemies as the Commies themselves.
Obama and his ilk aren't some temporary aberration of the Democrat party. They are the full, overt expression of where that party truly is today, and they're not going away any time soon.
The country as a whole is becoming more and more polarized to the right and left. The moderate middle is emptying out. People are choosing sides. Mealy mouthed politicians who continue to campaign and govern within the paradigm of yesteryear, are either devoid of real character, or they're establishment drones. There is no middle ground in reality.
You say that we're losing political battles over the issue of ideological purity. You're right about that, but the underlying reason we lose those battles these days, is because the people are already ahead of the politicos, and know that we're in a fight for our very survival. They will rightfully continue to shun candidates who don't have the character to choose a side in this pivotal moment in history.
Agreed. You have to be able to win, first and foremost. Find the most conservative candidate that can win - and we should be fielding them everywhere. In urban areas that will include a lot of candidates none of us here would particularly like, but you have to start somewhere. As I pointed out previously, there are a lot of stubborn purists that would have refused to nominate a guy like Giuliani for Mayor of NYC. Yes, he's bad on the social issues, but he's good in most other areas and really turned NYC around and was a great success. Do I want to run him for President? No. Was he a great Republican mayor? You bet.
We have to understand that in politics you can’t effect any changes unless you win office.
There are a lot of purists that don't ascribe to that school of thought. They'd rather lose forever, than compromise at all and actually win. These are the people that think if you just keep pounding the same principled drum your bound to eventually be victorious. They apparently don't look at places like Detroit, DC, deep blue states, other countries to see that populations will sometimes vote for the same party, no matter how bad things get, for decades and decades on end - simply because they identify your party as the greater enemy.
I will not forget the idiocy of the last national election where we threw away two perfectly winnable Senate seats (Missouri and Indiana) because we ran candidates who couldn’t keep their stupid mouths shut
Add goofball Christine O'Donnell, Sharon Angle, Linda McMahon in previous elections to that list of doomed losers in states we should have won. I actually think Murdoch was worth a shot in Indiana. I had no idea what a bad candidate he'd turn out to be. Akin was an idiot who was openly supported in the primaries by the Democrats because they knew he had foot-in-mouth disease.
Truth ultimately wins.
Good post.
We have to send these candidates to some kind of campaign boot camp to instruct them on how to handle “women’s issues” debates.
The MSM is cocked and loaded when it comes to statewide senate and governor races. Journ0List Stephanopolous sounded the call to fire in Jan 2012. Unfortunately guys like Murdoch missed the signals.
Sure, that's why polling consistently shows the majority of the public wants the parties to "work together", "be more bipartisan", blah, blah, blah. Does that sound like an America that is anywhere near a civil war? I've heard this "we're on the brink of civil war" for my whole life, and what I see is a public that generally rejects any candidate who talks like that. People don't vote for crazy, and they mostly consider that kind of talk crazy. I actually agree with you that the Constitution is being eroded badly, but the public is not there yet - not even close.
Happy warriors win in purple and blue territory - ones that promise to "work with the other side" and offer other such happy talk. They can be very conservative on many issues, but the presentation is important. You also can't run a social conservative warrior in libertine urban areas. So you can cede those places to the enemy, or put the most conservative candidate that CAN win forward and try to make inroads.
Exactly.
Democrats are winning the small battles(Organizing,GOTV,fundraising,mobilization) that in turn win the war.
This lesson better sink in quickly. 2014 is a chance to beat back the America hating horde. Conservative and, yes, Republicans need to get it together fast.
We lose the Supreme Court to the Left and this country may never recover.
No disrespect intended, but how do you consider Christie a Republican? I’ll grant you he has the GOPe “stamp of approval” ...
But Christie is solid RINO, with all the typical RINO BS talking points: “personally” pro-life, pro traditional marriage, etc ...
HOWEVER, he would never impose his “personal” views on anybody - which is to say he will not “govern” as the conservative he pretends to be...
In other words, Christie is a man w/o principles - and one not too ashamed to feed at the federal sow pen when it suits his political needs. Did you forget how he kissed Obama’s butt during the Sandy fiasco?
Conservatism and limited constitutional government lost last night. The DEMONCAN REPUBLOCRATS of the Big (Brother) Government E-stablishment Party won last night. True, Virginia was a squeaker, thanks to the LIBERALtarians, but a loss is a loss.
I hear that!
