How the GOP Blue It in Virginia

The GOP does not want ObamaCare ended.

I think you're right. I believe the GOP-e is more interested in mid sized business and large business concerns than in main street. The Tea Party is clearly main street in their views and their supporters.

The Gop-e talks a good game about ending obamacare, but every time the opportunity comes to fight they back off and undercut those who are willing to fight. Mid to large businesses would love to rid themselves of healthcare overhead. Once the employer mandate kicks in we will begin seeing businesses paying a stipend to employees to go out and buy their own insurance. In this way business can lock in what their labor costs are and not have to deal with the insurance/govt bureaucracy.

I see the GOP-e pushing for amnesty to support their business supporters. If the illegals are legalized the labor pool expands which drives cost down and for those using illegal labor once they're legalized they can deduct the cost.

The final straw for me was the CR that 87 GOP-e reps voted for. They refused to vote for the CR that would reguire Congress to be subject to obamacare without any special subsidies. They pass laws I'm subject to and they are exempt from.

I will only vote for Tea Party backed candidates. Enough is enough.

So let me get this right... the problem was that the “establishment” did not give their money to the candidate? Remind me, are we conservatives or socialists here because it sounds like we are a bunch of damned socialists. Candidates need to EARN money from the donors. It is not a right to get it. People with money have a right to spend it however the decide. If a candidate fails to sell himself to the base, he loses their votes. If he fails to sell himself to people with money, he loses their donations. If you take either for granted, you fail as a candidate. What a bunch of sorry ass conservatives we are when we bash people with money for not voluntarily giving their money to a group who seems to feel entitled to other people’s money without earning it. Shame on us!
