the democrats spent 30 million combined in addition to financing a third party to convince three percent of the population in VA that a man wanted to do something he never said he wanted to do (ban abortions), wanted to ban something he can’t ban (birth control) and that a family man who is an attorney general wanted to give felons illegal guns to kill you and your children.
They only won a plurality by three percent.
I read you. I’ve been up all night in withdrawal and aftermath of this ride. As I was leaving the poll I passed a harried young woman carrying a child and herding another. Did her vote cancel mine? I can live with that but not this sleeezy nasty game they played on Virginia and the rest of US.
It's pretty clear that they simply don't want to win. Fundraising is more important to them than governing, and they can get suckers to pony up more money when they are out of power by playing on people's fears. "Help us fight all the terrible things Obama is doing" brings in more cash than "everything's great, help us keep the status quo". They pay themselves quite well out of the money people contribute.
Also; right out of the box, didn’t McAuffus refer to Cuccinelli as a “fine and decent man” in his acceptance speech? Just where did he Lie first?
This is a failure of the eGOP. We need no more proof that the Republican party has left the conservatives and went liberal. The Republican party refuses to support TEA Party supported candidates. Screw the Republican party!
“The voters put them there. We have to face the fact that with the present makeup of the electorate on a national level, we are a minority.”
That’s a completely wrong assessment.
Republicans and conservatives control 26 states, while rats control 11. In many states, rats don’t hold a single state-wide office.
What we’re seeing is a massive but slow movement of the population into states that reflect specific political and economic beliefs. For example, Michigan lost about 600,000 citizens in the period between 2000 and 2008. Most of them were the conservative working class and entrepreneurs. Those people moved to conservative leaning states and bolstered the conservative credentials of those states.
The population is dividing ideologically much as it did prior to the Civil War.
In 2011, the foreign born represented 11.1 percent of Virginia's total population. In 2011, 11.1 percent of Virginia's total population were immigrants, compared to 8.1 percent in 2000 and 5.0 percent in 1990.
Of the total immigrant population in Virginia, 26.5 percent entered during the 1990s, and 43.0 percent entered in 2000 or later. Let that one sink it.
Of the foreign-born population resident in Virginia in 2011, 14.3 percent entered the country prior to 1980, 16.2 percent between 1980 and 1989, 26.5 percent between 1990 and 1999, and 43.0 percent in 2000 or later.
In Virginia, 86.1 percent of the immigrants who entered before 1980 were citizens, compared to 17.6 percent of those who entered in 2000 or later.
There's your 3%, and then some. And guess what? It's climbing. Every year. By way of Dulles International Airport, and a policy of non-enforcement. And there is nothing we can do about it.
Welcome to Rome.
Conservatives losing these elections is not because they are poor candidates. It’s the rotted populace.
You are absolutely right. The “rotted populace” is exactly right.
The malignant cancer that is NOVA continues to spread. So do I retire to Virginia and add my vote in defense of her, or retire to a less purple state. NOVA is rapidly destroying my planned retirement state.
Exactly! It is Jeb’s “turn” and he will continue our plunge into socialism unabated.
Socialism infers we receive something in return for political quiescence.
The 1%’ers are parasites, that will kill us, eventually.
/Note: the Bushes are instruments of the parasites, not 1%’ers, themselves. For instannce, W’s net worth of 17 million is pocket change to the tens of billions controlled by the real Masters of the Universe.

“..Do not ever send money to the RNC.”
Agreed, and tell them why when they call us for $$.
“..The Libertarian party did nothing to disavow him,”
The Libertarian Party obviously cares more about their party than what’s best for Virginia.
And the RNC is disgusting as well.
I received this from a CatholicVote.org email:
“The national GOP spent approximately $3 million on this race vs. $9 million spent in 2009”
SHAMEFUL!
The RNC only likes liberal or moderate Republicans.
I’ll repeat part of my last post for you:
From a CatholicVote.org email:
“The national GOP spent approximately $3 million on this race vs. $9 million spent in 2009”
I’m days late but the recount to whoever Sharp to beat Obensheim means something. I don’t even know off-hand his name correctly yet he is in this close recount.
THEY are finding all kinds of problems in the recount. They “said” that they are not partisan. The recount should have been about the Governor too.
It doesn’t make feakin sense.
Another thing which doesn’t make sense is all segments splitting apart and criticizing each other.This is WAR. The enemy is united and cement together like insects. They pick us off, one by one, like the hordes as times before. They are stupid like insects for repeating the plan of eating their hosts.
It's a recipe for never winning another national election.
From that comes another situation. I don’t think it will be eating bark before it’s ratting out your neighbor. For Anything when the squeeze starts.
