Republican Establishment Punishes Virginia GOP For Choosing Corey Stewart

When the Republican Party elite don’t get their way, they will often retaliate, and that is what we are seeing in Virginia right now. After Corey Stewart defeated his establishment-backed opponent Nick Freitas by a narrow margin in the Republican primary race for US Senate earlier this week, the Republican establishment is now punishing Virginia for its choice.

According to the Bull Elephant, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) spent $2.6 million in Virginia on behalf of establishment Republican Ed Gillespie as he tried to defeat Ralph Northam for Governor last year. They will be withholding their big money for Stewart, whose support of America First and border security contradicts their push for illegal immigration and globalist trade agreements.

“When we look at the entire picture across the country, who are the folks that we can work with who are going to help us push those agenda items?” said JC Hernandez, who works as Virginia state director for AFP.

The Koch Brothers are pulling the strings for AFP and they consider keeping open borders, protecting illegal immigrants, and undoing Trump’s trade progress at the top of their agenda. They will be papering over Democrats throughout 2018 on those particular issues while ignoring Stewart and other populist fighters running to assist Trump in Washington D.C.

The Senate GOP’s campaign arm is also refusing to give Stewart any support, in a tacit endorsement for Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine.

Who needs a SENATE SEAT anyway? What purpose do Senators serve?

What the hell is it going to take to rid the Virginia GOP of this bunch? They GAVE US Obamacare by engineering Oliver North’s defeat...how much more hell do they want to wreak on this country?

President Trump should go and campaign like crazy for Corey. Time to give the “Republican elite” the big, fat finger.

By not supporting Corey they are, in effect, supporting Kaine. Who?

Ronna Romney McDaniel was on radio today and said it’s a big map and she doesn’t see Virginia on it.

When Establishment types say, “He can’t win”, they mean that they plan to see to it.

During the 2016 election cycle, it occurred to me that Hitlery was a harridan, defined by Merriam Webster as “an angry and unpleasant woman: shrew.”

She definitely IS that!

Seeking to further define her character and behavior, I was directed to “noxious,” and “venomous.”

Here are Merriam Webster’s definitions:
noxious = physically harmful or destructive to living beings;
venomous = “expressing very strong hatred or anger.”

A bit redundant, perhaps, but certainly appropriate in describing Hitlery’s character and conduct.

After further thought, “Noxious, venomous harridan,” applies to most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat woman!

Some time ago, I realized that Tim Kaine, among other male Democrats in public life (Ophonybama, EVERY male member of his administration, DNC members, etc., etc.) were ALSO harridans, and I went looking for a term that would apply to a male “harridan.”

I could find no such term for a “male harridan.”

One of my buddies here at FReeRepublic.com suggested “asshole,” which on first glance just may be too strong a term to use, but oftentimes necessary to make an important point.

HST, here is Merriam Webster’s definition: “a bad, stupid, or annoying person.”

WELL! A noxious, venomous male harridan = “a noxious, venomous asshole!”

LOL! I love it! And, the academy (in the form of the Mirriam Webster dictionary) got it right! IMHO, then, most EVERY LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Communist Democrat man is a noxious venomous asshole!

So, in the appropriate places and at the appropriate time, I intentionally throw these female and male slurs at LIEberals. I am having a lot of fun with this!

Been doing that for years!

When I am absolutely convinced that the various local, state and national Republicans are 100% in Trump’s camp, I may, just may, contribute again.

‘Til then, they’ll get no more of this poor, suffering taxpayer’s money!
