Gutle$$ Old Party / E$tabli$hment
Christie won because he didn’t have anything of note running against him. Cuccinelli lost because the Democrats brought in the big guns and because Northern Va. is a snake pit.
I’ve posted this a number of times and do so again inasmuch as THIS is a constantly recurring problem and some may not grasp how widespread it is.
If you want to know why I’ve cautioned my many friends to NOT SEND THE RNC A NICKLE, READ ON.
Over the years – when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger man’s clothes – I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) – because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larry’s record will tell you that he was a solid an anti-communist America Firster and more Republican than the Pubbies in nearby districts at the time. (His mother’s cousin was General George Patton from whom he got the middle name – and his incredible resolve and love of this country.) How ironic that he, like General Patton, was also assassinated by the communists they both despised.
Those other candidates ran as Republicans. Because I was a rabid Bircher back then (still am philosophically!), those candidates had to pass my rigid litmus test or I went looking for someone who did. For that reason, I hooked up with what the TRADITIONAL country club Pubbie establishment types believed were too radical for their refined tastes.
As those campaigns began to unfold and it became clear to the country clubbers that these guys 1) had a shot and 2) were pretty independent thinkers who would be hard to keep on the reservation once they got sworn in, the local Pubbies communicated that information to the Republican National HQ types who rather quickly sent in campaign “professionals” ostensibly to lock up the impending victory.
Instead, in nearly every case to which I was privy, these “professionals” proceeded to TORPEDO our guy’s campaign in subtle but effective ways.
From that experience I can tell you that the Pubbies at the HQ in D.C. would rather have a Democrat win a given district than have a pubbie up there who would embarrass them by refusing to follow the party line.
If YOU become involved in campaigns for solidly conservative, America and Constitution loving, hard-nosed, independent thinking candidates in 2014 and beyond – and I pray many of you do — please DO NOT trust any of those folks from GOP HQ in Washington. If they want to send you no-strings cash for your campaign, take it. If, however, they “suggest” sending in one of their “professionals,” tell them to fuggetaboutit.
They ARE WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!
“far right Republicans”
The ‘far right Republicans’ are those who actually stand behind the Republican Party Platform. The GOP has lost its way.
Remember this next time a liberal Republican wants you to hold your nose and vote for him.
The GOP is dead. I changed to Independent and plan on only donating to actual small government politicians and groups.
Domestic enemy....
I still dont understand this (latest talk radio narrative)
‘Republicans always win if they act like conservatives but ONLY if the GOPe funds their campaigns’ ???
I never give the GOP money. Were we supposed to?
Our success or failure depends on GOPe help?
I hope this is not seriously the plan.
Didnt we expect GOPe to fund their own guys like Christie?
Were we supposed to send Christie $$$ ?
Since they are conniving with the Dem’s on amnesty maybe we should connive with the same to raise their corporate taxes. We should also demand that the establishment corporates, unless they want their taxes raised, to start spending that money on some conservative media.
We’ve just enough time to organize a new political party if we start whith in the next few weeks. An established 3rd party would end one party rule.
A set of guidelines and rules, a party constitution if you will, would need to be installed with the understanding any elected candidate would sign an agreement to resign if they failed to live up to them.
The worst part is now the Republican Party saw one of their actual Republicans lose and a faux Republican win, because of their own actions and because the faux Republican could not even be bothered to help a fellow GOP-er even when his election was in the bag, but nonetheless they will continue to interpret it as a need for more faux Republicans and fewer real Republicans. Just watch, they will place Christie ahead of Scott Walker, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz in the 2016 presidential elections. And actual Republicans, much less actual conservatives or actual non liberals of any kind, will need clothespins over their noses to pull the level for Christie 3 years from now.
The officials only add in enough votes during the counting process to insure a win. Adding too many could raise eyebrows and draw attention.
They won. That's what counts.
Yep, the GOP were not only not funding Cuccinelli they had republicans endorsing Mcawful.
Hope these betrayers reap no benefit from their backstabbing.
How do we win when our own party is against us?
NOVA is a big grubment contingent.
These commies best find a deep, deep hole to crawl into because when the patriot storm descends on them not many leftists will survive.
