So why were the democrats trying to take down McAuliffe by funding Sarvis?
I had no candidate but did know in Vrginia the dead would rise again and vote again for the democrat communist..
That’s interesting, as I wouldn’t think any actual lower-case l libertarian would ever vote for a Democrat.
That said, Sarvis was a liberal Democrat, supported by liberal Democats, who called himself a Capital L Libertarian, so this doesn’t surprise me.
This idiot reminds me why I never read anything from the turds at Reason.com. They are brain dead when it comes to the threat of Demoncats and their enthusiastic advocacy for illegal alien amnesty is revolting.
I have long felt that Libertarians would vastly increase their political power if, instead of supporting candidates who cannot win, they would as a party primary select one of the real candidates whom they would support.
This would make them a key voting bloc up for grabs by both parties, rather than the oddball spoiler role they play with zero chance at having any influence in government.
I don’t blame anybody. It was just plain old fashioned corruption................
Not surprisingly, it was the illegal aliens, unimpeded at the polls, who put McAuliffe over the top.
So Reason will carry water for anyone with an L next to his name, regardless of the statist policies he supports. You know, because they’re so different from the party sheep who blindly support guys with other letters next to their names.
I love libertarians, however, this is BS and wishful thinking. It was due to Sarvis not being a real libertarian.
Since Dole was a plant. McCain was a plant, i.e., not really put there to win, I am finally fine with a third party even if it means Hillary wins.
REPe really don’t want to win anyway as seen how they attack Cruz instead of 0bummer.
They want their kingdom and power but don’t really want to win; Rush pointed this out today.
Third party, fine. Cruz/Palin, Palin/West, Palin/Paul, Paul/Palin, Paul/West...heck, I’ll take any of these.
How about the party name, “Maker Party”?
I don’t know what to say anymore it is depressing here in southeastern Montgomery County PA. Every neighborhood around me (former red areas) had sweeping democrat wins on school boards and other positions. It is depressing. What more failure from that party do they need to witness???? The evidence is all around them!
Libertarians who would vote for Mcauliffe over ANYBODY are simply living a fantasy. No Democrat is ever going to promote a libertarian society. Big Mac and his ilk are the ultimate, up-your-*ss regulatory statists. Libertarians like this guy and his attempt to be oh-so logical and rational with his choice is pathetic. Cuccinelli was “Perot-ed” plain and simple.
Sarvis was nothing more than a Trojan Horse quite similar to others used by the Marxists to pull votes away from the conservatives. Clinton used this strategy several times. It is nothing new. However, it is still effective.
Saris, whomever the pro-tax increase non entity is, should be tarred and feathered.
Toadies for the Democrats.
Never blame the voters for your loss. The candidates’ job is to woo voters, if they didn’t woo enough to win that’s on the candidate and their staff. The voters’ job is to vote for the candidate they feel best represents them, they ALWAYS do their job right, even if we think they voted for the wrong guy.
I looked at all of the people who lost due to libertarians and constitutionalists in the recent election cycles. They include Mia Love, Denny Rehberg, Richard Mourdock, Jon Porter, Jackie Walorski(first time), Vernon Parker. Of course as you can see they were all rinos(not).
Then, why did a wealthy Democrat fund Sarvis's campaign?
Regardless, Cuccinelli lost because the RNC provided him with little funding and he was outspent by up to a 10-1 margin. If had received the same amount as the last Republican candidate for governor ($6 million more), there is no reason to believe he wouldn't have won.
McAuliffe was handed this race by the Republican establishment and libertarians that voted for Sarvis. I hope any such types living in Virginia get raped by McAuliffe's policies.
Ron Paul wouldn’t even support this guy and you are humping for him. Maybe you’re at the wrong site.
Sorry, but the author does obviously live in CA and is probably not aware of the various factors that took place in VA to affect the outcome. Sarvis, who’s not truly a libertarian, was simply the proverbial last straw.
“Reason” Magazine is a “Libertarian” HACK RAG!
So in the spirit of reconciliation, here are some tips from a typical third-party voter to major party movers and shakers who are trying to figure out how to approach us...pay attention to MEEEEE...listen to MEEEEE!!!!
