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

Posted on 11/05/2013 9:08:54 PM PST by SaveOurRepublicFromTyranny

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:

Sarvis was the libertarian candidate, you cannot make him not that, just because you didn’t line up with him 100%.

Sarvis was the Libertarian candidate. Kindly get your capitalization right.

In terms of his positions, he was basically a liberal Democrat. The Donks installed him in the race in hopes the Libertarian brand would peel off enough idiot GOP voters to swing the race to McAuliffe. It worked, albeit with a much thinner margin than they hoped.

You sure seem concerned about his party purity, which he passed of course.

Remember that libertarians don’t always get pure candidates, once, republican Ron Paul ran as a libertarian, but he wasn’t pro-abortion, yet they nominated him.

Why would the purity of a pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda, pro/lefty social positions party, so concern you?

Libertarians are libertarians, the party perfectly represents the libertarian movements philosophy and politics and agenda.

Interesting. So, the Libertarian Party stands for government-required GPS tracking systems in your car? As Sarvis favored? (For those of you in Rio Linda, that's the antithesis of libertarian philosophy.)

But ansel12 says so, so it must be true! He wants it to be true! It's all he posts about! It has true or his world-view is FUBARed!

Not interesting at all, I didn’t say anything about each individual candidate being perfectly libertarian, remember that even Ron Paul was anti-abortion, yet the libertarians still nominated him.

Try not to turn personally nasty if you have any self control.

Meet you’re 2016 losing redux of Dole/McCain/Romney...there is now no freakin’ way that Krispy is not the nominee.

Nope. Krispy Kreme's role is the same role played by McCain to W in 2000, Romney to McCain in 2008 and Santorum to Romney in 2012. Krispy Kreme will supplant Christian Conservative Santorum to be destroyed by none other than Jeb Bush brought in to save the GOP from the divisive Tea-Party attack on Party Standard Bearer Chris Christie. If Jeb loses in 2016; Christie can be the nominee in 2020.

You heard it here first.

*****The 0bamaCare factor has only just begun. By next year people will be thinking more about nooses and pitchforks than elections. And they will vote.*****

This is our mission: To use every outlet available to emphasize the damage that Obamacare is doing to our neighbors.

Obamacare is so bad that we may even be able to generously rub liberals nose in the stench and have the libs still vote conservative because of the huge hit to their pocketbook. Choose wisely my friend.

I am sick of looking at the loss’ and ignoring the wins.

If you think Krispy Kreme was a victory you really are sick.

Two things:

  1. Sarvis was exceptionally imperfect as a libertarian candidate. Actually, in terms of positions, he was just another 'Rat candidate, albeit without McAuliffe's history. No way was he libertarian.
  2. There is evidence that 'Rat operatives helped him get on the ballot. Why? Duh!

Try not to turn personally nasty if you have any self control.

You seem to have an obsession about libertarians, even to the extent that you would misidentify the Sarvis kid as the genuine article. (Kuccinelli is a far better approximation of a libertarian. But he keeps the good parts while leaving out the bad.)

You resemble certain Freepers who have a thing about Mormons. Or the drooling birfers, who have recently acquired a bad odor over their mindless 17th century consistency about the definition of Natural Born.

It will be up to Republican candidates to take advantage of the 0bamaCare debacle. We’re not going to have to do anything to inform the American people though. Reality is going to shove us to the side and deliver the message to them swinging baseball bats with both hands.

To #8> As you speak, your wishes are happening. GOP Rinos are going to be purged from key positions and told to either join the real conservatives are get the hell out of Dodge.

The almost total lack of GOP money for Cuccinelli helped cost him the election to a nazi-like thug and a well-funded Democratic lock-step political propaganda and ground-pounding machine.

The real “money” people in the US, the hated “1 percenters” are actually the Democrats. They have more money than the Treasury and use it without hesitation or regard for costs.

When the GOP gets off its ass and realizes this, then they will become a viable organization again. Every Tea Party supporter I know is refusing to send the GOP one “red cent”.

As the national congressional races start in ernst real soon, the GOP is going to face an internal revolt which may make them a footnote in political history.

RINOs are being put on notice that they are going to end up on two lists: “The endangered species list” and the “Endangered feces list”.

If it takes a defection of the Tea Party movement from supporting some RINOS, even to the point of allowing the Democrats to win a few House seats, so be it. The GOP is either going to get with the program or get thrown out of the movement and a lot of cushy jobs with undeserved high salaries are going to disappear.

If the Tea Party Republicans withdraw from the GOP to become Independents, then the GOP will lose control of the House and Boner will finally be out of a job. Their only alternative to keeping power would be to keep the TP congressmen and women in the fold by sharing power and developing real aggressive political policies and tactics.

The GOP RINOS today are fighting like the Russian reserve forces sent into both Norway during WW2 and Afghanistan early in the war. Both got nearly wiped out by the resistance in each country.

It is time that they adopted real guerrilla warfare style tactics, striking selected targets, then pulling back until the next target comes along. Hit a major target with everything and everyone you’ve got.

Propaganda - forget information. Information didn’t do much for Cuccinelli against Communist-styled propaganda and disinformation, as well as plain old lies.

We need hard-hitting billboards, posters, slogans, CARTOONS, and columns, 24/7, in every media and medium possible.

Call Obama and his marxist minions “LIARS”, not people who “misspoke” (Megan Kelley, Bill O’Reilly, Charles Krauthammer, George Will). People understand “LIAR”, not “misspoken”.

Hammer this home to the public. Never let them go away or get away unchallenged. One sign can wreck their day, and I’m all for that.

Forget Christie. He’s not reliable or he would have been down here with Cuc and 2 dozen donuts. A great photo-op that could have made Cuccinelli the governor. But no, Christie stayed with the RINOS and sacrificed a brave fighter, just as William Wallace was sacrificed/betrayed by his supposed friends.

The key to all this is ORGANIZATION and ORGANIZING - pounding the streets with your message, even into, and esp. into, Democratic areas. Hit them where they live, with real information, facts, fliers, etc.

Obamacare is one of our greatest weapons to use against the Democrats. So is Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS scandal, etc. but most of the low-education Democrat voters know little or nothing about them, and definitely not in-depth.
That is what our job is, to provide them with in-depth information that affects them directly, and others indirectly.

It’s time to charge, not retreat, once we are organized and prepared. And time is running out.

Just last week, WTOP all news radio station said that McAwful would DEFINITELY win by double digits.

Now it’s down to 1%, with 97% of precincts reporting.

It’s Tea Party time.

LOL, yeah, the actual libertarian candidate is the fake, and the pro-life, anti-libertarian, social conservative republican is more of the libertarian.

Sarvis is without question the actual libertarian, and he is pro-abortion, pro-gay, and pro-states rights on gas tax issues. Cuccinelli is what you people call a statist, a conservative, an anti-liberty guy.

Conservatives will not go along with the radical leftist, pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-immigration, pro-drugs, porn, hookers, weak military agenda of libertarianism, that somehow surprises you?

You think conservatives should have supported the libertarian instead of the conservative?

Nope. Ron Paul is the real libertarian, and the real conservative, even though he stayed in the GOP for 2012.
