McAllister wins 5th District congressional seat

“McAllister, who largely self-funded his campaign, beat establishment candidate Neil Riser, a state senator, in Saturday’s runoff election for the vacant 5th District seat”.

I just read 37 Freeper Posts and, not surprisingly, there was little agreement on whether the right guy won. So, I went back and re-read the article and low and behold there is one sentence in it (copied, cut and pasted above) that, IF ACCURATE, means the Freeper candidate won! So, hooray! Rove and his ilk lost! That’s VERY good news!

Just for info

While Riser earned the establishment’s backing, McAllister secured the wildly
popular “Duck Dynasty” West Monroe Robertson family’s nod.

He was also helped by the endorsement of prominent Democrats like Monroe
Mayor Jamie Mayo, who finished a strong third in the primary and openly
campaigned for McAllister, and still popular former U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields.

>> McAllister isn’t just squishy on Obamacare, he also came out in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens and for “reparations” for descendants of slaves. Yes, the “Tea Party” candidate ran to the left of Mary Landrieu. McAllister blatantly tried to attract black and liberal votes in the runoff (it was a general election, so Democrats could vote)—he even had ultraliberal black Democrat ex-Congressman Cleo Fields do robocalls for him!—betting that his liberal positions wouldn’t scare off mouthbreathers who will stop reading after they see that he calls himself “Tea Party” <<

Yikes. I wonder if he's related to the "electable" RINO with the same last name who ran for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s vacant seat in Illinois. Lenny McAllister was some carpetbagging pro-abortion, pro-affirmative action, anti-tax cuts, liberal from North Carolina that the mainstream media falsely promoted as the "lone" Republican candidate in the district, AND he had a bunch of gullible or fake "Tea Party leaders" touting his candidacy and demonizing any ACTUAL Republican who dared enter the race. Amusingly, Fieldmarshaldj also noted that he looked like the spitting image of a younger Barack Hussein Obama:

Of course, the main difference is the outcome. Our McAllister came in a distant third place in the GOP primary. Conservatives just weren't drinking his kool-aid, and the threat of the "Tea party" people to take their ball and go home if their RINO didn't get nominated didn't exactly endear people to their candidate. The bitter McAllister supporters carried out their threat and were content to let the corrupt marxist Robin Kelly win the seat in the general when their guy wasn't the nominee. If there's one thing I hate worse than backstabbing RINOs, it's backstabbing RINOs who dress in "Tea Party" drag.
