VIRGINIA GOVERNOR RACE A HUGE VICTORY FOR THE TEA PARTY
TPNN - TEA PARTY NEWS NETWORK ^ | November 5, 2013 | Matthew Burke

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:

LONEGAN ran on an ANTI-ABORTION ticket, a PRO-GUN Ticket, and an ANTI-TAX ticket. He ran as a PURE CONSERVATIVE in a BLUE state where the Dems out number the GOP by 700,000 voters, the opposition had him out spent 10 to 1, and he got 44% of the VOTE!!!

Not a victory, but IMPRESSIVE ANYWAY.

And the Damn NJ RINO GOP establishment did NOTHING for him - even the Governor refused to campaign with him.

What happened in New Jersey and in Virginia can be a START towards TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK from the Communists and Muslims and RINOs and Statists who run it now.

Considering Democrats hate Libertarians even more than many, if not most, Republicans, I doubt that the Democrats orchestrated Sarvis’s run. His support was garnered entirely independently.

No matter how this is spun, it is simply indicative of the trend due to demographics.

Nothing will turn the tide now outside of Civil War. Period. There are too many parasites that will continue to vote for those who will promise them continued and increasing handouts (redistribution of wealth). Nothing will stop that now, it can only get worse.

So, if you are a productive, hard working member of society, get used to being a slave to the Federal Government. The left will never lose full power now due to the parasites, at least not via the ballot box.

I can see victories on the horizon, but they’ll be fleeting. The Democrats have managed to do what the British left did. Through the IIE method ‘Immigration, Indoctrination, Entitlements’, they have managed to build a coalition of over 50%, and they can turn it out, even in an off-year and in special elections.

I think you will have to get to the ‘people committing suicide in the streets’ stage of bad before this coalition falters.

The GOP did nothing to help Steve Lonegan. It might be too early to brag about NJ.

The reason Sarvis got that kind of vote percentage to start with was because a fair number of conservatives and non-liberals had personally been completely alienated by Cuccineli.

Conservatives and non-liberals would not be voting for a pro-abortion, pro-drugs, pro-homosexual agenda, third party guy.

This is why I don’t get why Texas is not seriously considering secession.

McAwful's win is a VOTE IN SUPPORT OF the murder of four Americans in Benghazi, NSA hacking elections, IRS suppressing Republican votes, DOJ spying on Fox News, government controlled health care and 0bamacare lies, lies and more lies and then lying about the lies.

No, I believe this election was fixed. 0bama's presence signifies that. I wonder what the NSA can manipulate electronically when it comes to vote tabulations.. Don't the vote totals have to be 'sent in' electronically? Presto!!

He wasn't the "so-called" libertarian, he was the libertarian, representing the libertarians.

The guy was a liberal.

Sarvis ran on the Libertarian ticket, but he was no libertarian. Libertarians despise government regulation and taxes. National Review on what this guy really believes:

the better-informed voters in Virginia have been somewhat perplexed by Robert Sarvis, for in recent weeks he appears to have been doing his level best to give the impression that his party label is incidental. In a recent Reason interview, Sarvis explained that he was “not into the whole Austrian type, strongly libertarian economics,” preferring “more mainstream economics” instead. The candidate expanded on this during an oddly defensive interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, in which he seemed put off not so much by “strongly libertarian economics” as by libertarian economics per se. As governor, Sarvis told Todd, he would be hesitant to cut taxes, unsure as to how he might “reduce spending,” and open to indulging the largest piece of federal social policy since 1965 by expanding Virginia’s Medicaid program. I am generally a critic of the tendency of small-government types to try to purge their ranks of those deemed sufficiently impure, but I must confess that this interview left even me wondering whether Sarvis is in need of a dictionary.

Worse yet was Sarviss rambling interview with the Virginia Prosperity Project, in which the candidate expressed his enthusiasm for increasing gas levies, and for establishing a “vehicle-miles-driven tax.” It strikes me that it is almost impossible to square such a measure with any remotely coherent “libertarian” position on that most sacred of rights: privacy. Virginias mooted VMT plan requires the installation of government GPS systems in private cars — an astonishingly invasive proposal. Even if this isn’t what Sarvis has in mind, the fact remains that there is simply no way of determining how far an individual has driven without the government’s checking.

“The left will never lose full power now due to the parasites, at least not via the ballot box.”

I agree. Furthermore, even *after* 0care has been exposed as a colossal lie and a colossal failure, it has been demonstrated that the Dems can sabotage Republicans via the spoiler candidate to attract the uhhh, “light thinker” libertarians as they did, quite expertly, in this election. Yes, it was revealed today that the libertarian candidate in VA was a Democrat plant but even before that even a cursory examination of his platforms and positions revealed him to be no kind of libertarian in any respect. My point is, the Dems now see thay can capture the handout crowd *AND* they can capture the >>stupid<< crowd that “hates politics” and thus votes (eg; throws away their vote) libertarian.

Buckle up, kids. We’re for dinner.

Christie won became Christie is a liberal. Has always been a liberal and will always be a liberal. But as far as NJ politics go he actually thinks he’s a conservative republican. Christie is your typical NE Establishment RINO. The only place in the United States he could be elected as a republican is in the NE. If he gets in the GOP primary he will get killed in Iowa by probably Rick Santorum and be humiliated the minute the race moves South, where he will not carry the first Southern state. He’s a big, fat, white version of his Kenyan butt buddy.

Secession is a bandwagon this Texan won’t need much prompting to get on. America has become a depraved sewer of socialism, faggotry, and degeneracy. A pathetic and embarrassing shell of what it once was. Over the past few years I’ve come to view myself much more a Texan than an American.

You’ve got that right. The only other state with constant murmurs of secession is Alaska. I want to be rid of lib7ards for good, and watch them suffer from afar.

Political parties change stripes as well dear

Southern democrats...vile as I’m sure you consider them.....were never cultural liberals.....not till after the grand switch

John Stennis .....Strom......Eastland...... all culture righties

Whereas northern GOP was mostly moderate to liberal

Reagan...Goldwater and Buckley were all ostracized as too conservative for mainstream GOP

Much like tea party is now by GOPe and FOX

New Jersey is not going conservative....Christie is a triangulating moderate

Virginia is....alas...going blue..... govt workers and northerners have killed it

The new Florida

Had there NOT been a third party candidate, funded by the Dems, we would have another republican governor tonight.

When are voters going to learn?

Where was it shown that the Libertarian candidate was set up by Democrats? I do not think that was proven at all. If he was for any expanded kind of regulations he would have taken votes away from McAuliffe, not Cuccinelli.

Look, I think it is terrible that one of Obama’s biggest butt buddies is now Governor of a state that used to be a shining example of American values for decades upon decades. But letting allegations fly freely, I don’t think, really helps. What is needed is more galvanizing the conservative base - which I suspect did not turn out in full force tonight, more grassroots outreach to moderates and Independents and splitting the Democrat voting base among other parties too.

Sorry, but the libertarian candidate was a libertarian.

He was strong on the libertarian positions of abortion and drugs, the homosexual agenda, and many other libertarian issues, it is why he was the official libertarian candidate.

You may disagree with him on some things, but hey, for all we know, you aren’t even in his party.

One has to hope that all those who voted for McAuliffe will sooner or later learn of his treasonous dealings along with his fellow chinagate criminals Hillary and Bill Clinton, Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie, John Huang, Bernard Schwartz (Loral).
