. . . In May, Herndon, VA, voters unseated the mayor and two Town Council members who supported a day-labor center

That was the MSM report, but the reality in Herndon was that the voters, in what is really now a Democrat town (60%) threw out a whole slate of pro-illegal candidates and replaced them with a full slate of candidates opposed to pandering to illegals. Besides the mayor (big lib) and the two deposed council members, three other new pro-illegal candidates finished at the bottom of the vote count.

Herndon elections are non-partisan, so it was not a Democrat/Republican split, but a pro-illegal vs. law-abiding division. The pro-illegal faction had all the media and the Washington Post on their side, and all the big money from big business, the Chamber of Commerce, the developers and contractors, LULAC and La Raza. They lost to a bunch of mostly unknown amateurs.

There is a lesson here for Republicans in the coming elections, but I am sure they are too obtuse and arrogant to get it. They think the voters of Herndon and California 50th are just too stupid. They will learn come November just how smart they are.

You've got that right. Any anti illegal candidate will get my vote in Nov, regardless of the letter after their names! It would be best of republicans saw the light but it does seem that some just can't figure it out!

Vote out the RINOS and if you have to vote in a 3rd party, I know the arguments but voting 3rd party when there is no other choice will show them we mean business and I do not believe we will lose any seats this year, but we need to let them know what is coming if they continue to ignore their constituents.

Let's not forget about football god Tom Osborne losing the primary in Nebraska because of his pro-illegal stance. And longtime incumbent RINO Cannon is in a runoff due to his love of illegals. They sure as hell better be taking notes. There's a collective Popeye chant out there from "We the People". That's all we can stands and we can't stands no more.
