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:

I said same thing to her more less
Funny how young folks have odd notions of parties being constant
The south has never been socially liberal or progressive regardless which party held local power
Beck and Levin to his discredit push this simple version of history which is self serving but false
And look where placing so much credo in the GOP post Reconstruction thru today has gotten them and us
Both are at war with their GOP
Virginia is yet another harbinger of how demographics we allowed in have killed us
Its too late in likelihood for politics
Wait till folks see exit polls of Latinos and of course women voters
Looks like Virgina has lost it now.
” My guess is never.
This country has lost its mind.
You know what really pisses me off?
Knowing that everything my parents taught me doesn’t matter a hill of beans.
The only thing that matters in America is lies.
Lies.
That is how one achieves success in this country.
And it is just ****ing disgusting, smoothsailing.
I really can’t take it anymore.”
My vote for post of the day !
Second place is first loser.
” By next year people will be thinking more about nooses and pitchforks than elections.”
No, they won’t be...
Because the TV will be telling them how GREAT! Obamacare is in television shows financed by Obamacare propaganda grants.
The Daily Show and Twitter will reinforce the meme, and remind them that anyone who thinks Obamacare is bad is likely an EVIL TEA PARTIER/KKK, or even worse, a possible CHRISTIAN, and we know no one wants to be associated with CHRISTIANS, if you want to be seen as cool and hip.
Unless there is a dramatic change in who is pulling the strings in the mainstream media, that is just a baseless wish.
A libertarian who's not an economic conservative is a liberal. That's the fundamental distinction between libertarians and liberals.

Libertarians provided the margin for Democrats in at least nine elections
As we’ve perused last week’s election returns, we’d noticed a number of races where Libertarian candidates appear to have played spoiler for Republicans—certainly, more than we’re accustomed to. While we haven’t run a comparison with prior cycles, we’ve identified no fewer than nine contests in 2012 where the Libertarian received more votes than the difference between the Democratic and Republican candidates. What’s more, none of these involved the typical 1 or maybe 2 percent you ordinarily expect a Lib to garner: Looking at the three-way vote, all but one were over 3 percent, and three took 6 percent or more, with a high of 6.5 percent in the Montana Senate race. These definitely seem like unusually high figures.”
“Where was it shown that the Libertarian candidate was set up by Democrats? I do not think that was proven at all.
Answer:
It was revealed TODAY that apparently, a major Obama campaign bundler, Austin, Texas, software billionaire Joe Liemandt bankrolled the effort to get the Libertarian candidate on the VA gubernatorial ballot. [He made the single largest campaign contribution to Sarvis]
“If he was for any expanded kind of regulations he would have taken votes away from McAuliffe, not Cuccinelli.”
You are kidding....right? Tell me you are kidding. Libertarians are, broadly, for the elimination of regulation and government intrusion. Sarvis was against any decrease in income taxes in VA. He supported a plan to monitor, track, and tax individual car mileage.
from Breitbart: “On Monday, former Congressman and staunch libertarian Ron Paul (R-TX) campaigned for Virginia Republican Governor candidate Ken Cuccinelli and said Virginias would be giving up on liberty if they voted for Democrat Terry McAuliffe in Tuesday’s election and would be “insane” if they voted for so-called libertarian Robert Sarvis, the third-party candidate who may siphon enough votes from Cuccinelli to spoil the election.”
So Mr. Libertarian himself, Ron Paul (and, Rand Paul) campaigned for Cuccinelli, not the libertarian candidate.
Sorry, but I think the libertarians choose their own candidates, not some republican.
Sarvis was a good pro-abortion libertarian.
Um, yes. Sarvis was the true libertarian candidate, did the democrats fund him? Why not? If I was a democrat operative I would.
See post 67.
I think Ron Paul would know a libertarian when he saw one, and he slammed Sarvis for his love of Oregon style mileage taxes.
Sarvis was a liberal, plain and simple. He was convinced to run by a massive Texas Demo bundler, and financed by New York Dems.
WE? “WE”? Wow there are a lot of folks saying we. In the fight against Obamacare the good old grand GOP establishment sure didn’t say “we”....I heard lots of THEM, THOSE THAT DAMN TEA PARTY......WE hummm nope didn’t hear a lot of that. AND if the Republican would have won in Virginia, the Republicans would have said
....... WE WON INSPITE OF U.S. (the Tea Party that is.)
It was actually closer than most expected. He should have won by double digits. Hope they like the higher taxes.
Pray America wakes up
Because they are sane, the last time it didn’t work out well, and you need at least a majority in house and senate- if you have that, then probably you don’t need secession.
Ron Paul is a retired republican congressman, with a son who became a Senator based on being a social conservative.
Sarvis is the libertarian nominee for Governor of Virginia.
Levin claimed the RNC didn’t even spend $3 million compared to the $9 million spent in 2009. ...
//////
Wow. Unless the GOP knew that whatever X money they spent on this race, the Dem would spend 3X. And I don’t doubt it since the Dems are printing throught the QE....3 billion a day.....and someone is getting paid to hand that out....and that person is sending it right back to the Demonrat Party.
Sarvis is the libertarian nominee for Governor of Virginia.
Correction, Sarvis was. He’s now just a joke, but then again he always was.
You are a member of his party?
