RINO Gillespie Loses Again

Brace yourself for Dem chest-pounding and more race-baiting.

Virginia is not what she used to be and unless the GOP slows the bureaucrat gravy train, Old Dominion will become New Maryland. The moneyed lobbyists and Democrat civil servants control a chuck of real estate from the Washington suburbs.

Maybe this will be a wake up call for the coalition of normal Americans. I sure hope so.

Democrat Voter Fraud In Virginia

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WSET) -- A former staffer with Harrisonburg Votes, a political organization affiliated with the Democratic party, paid to register area voters during the weeks leading up to the 2016 National Election, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday for causing 18 fraudulent Virginia Voter Registration Forms.

I Won't Vote Democrat For The Rest Of My Life (But After That, I Probably Will)

HARRISONBURG, Va. — A man paid to register Virginia voters prior to the 2016 Presidential Election will spend at least 100 days in prison for submitting the names of deceased individuals to the Registrar’s Office.

James Madison University student Andrew J. Spieles, 21, of Harrisonburg, pled guilty Monday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. As part of the plea agreement, Spieles agreed to a prison sentence of 100 to 120 days.

Spieles worked for Harrisonburg Votes when he committed the crime, according to acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle.

Harrisonburg Votes is a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party.

Brat Defeats Cantor

This might be the biggest upset in the history of American politics and I am still trying to put it in perspective. I don't pay much attention to spectator sports anymore but someone asked me to watch The NBA game with them last night and I am glad I did. San Antonio put on a clinic. They made 16 of their first 18 shots including 5 of 5 on three pointers. They scored 41 points in the first quarter. For me, it was time well spent.

I was not informed of Dave Brat's victory until around midnight, EST. I immediately sought out the South Carolina results. George Lindsey Graham Cracker got his fifty per cent. Sad face.

Back to Virginia. This was a curve ball for the pundits. It was all about immigration. It was more than immigration. It was the resurfacing of the Tea Party. No wait!. Brat was so low on the food chain the national tea party people who send me fundraiser emails would not return his calls. Really?

It was Laura Ingraham who tipped the scales? Really? When did she become a kingmaker? They don't get Laura's show in South Carolina?

We can agree that Brat did not buy this primary. He was outspent by a factor of at least forty, possibly closer to fifty. In the almost 238 years of The Republic no House Majority Leader has EVER lost a primary. This was an upset of Biblical proportions.

Why did Cantor lose as McConnell and Graham cruised to victory? It might have to do with the viability of their respective opponents. Matt Bevin does not equal Dave Brat. Brat is an economics professor who also holds a divinity degree. He can articulate reasons to elect him. He can reduce his agenda to five or six bullet points ala Contract With America. Brat could have a bright future.

Then again, this might also have a lot to do with the hubris of Eric Cantor. What is it about Republicans--Scott Brown, Kelly Ayotte, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake to name a few--who cannot wait to betray the people who elect them? Do they have to sell out their base to survive? That seems to be the conventional wisdom. If Brat wins in November, conventional wisdom might need an upgrade.

More On The Virginia Gubernatorial Race

The democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe, was being funded by the dysfunctional dream team of Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others including NYC soda-banning mayor Michael Bloomberg. A supposedly state-level race became a national race, and began receiving an incredible amount of media attention. A number of almost assumed GOP wins turned into doubts. Could Virginia maintain its Blue-Federal/Red-State election status? The purple color Virginia is often painted on political maps started to grow a darker shade of blue. After the respective party conventions, Terry McAuliffe and current Attorney General of Virginia Ken Cuccinelli emerged as the nominated candidates. Cuccinelli is the conservative’s conservative, and a great man who had led Virginia to be a tough state for criminals, and a great place to call home. McAuliffe, on the other hand, is a crazy person’s crook. In addition to being bankrolled by liberal heavy hitters like the Clintons and Bloomberg, he has spoken harshly against coal, promised extreme Colorado-style gun control, and is adamantly pro-choice. McAuliffe is egalitarian in his policies, and if he’s elected he will do nothing but take freedoms away from the citizens of this commonwealth, and turn Virginia into a mess of regulations, taxation, unemployment, crime, and corruption.

If Ken Cuccinnelli Loses, Will Ann Coulter Step Up And Accept Responsibility For His Loss?

I can't let the Libertarian and Tea Party situation go just yet. When people refer to the Republican establishment they usually refer to Reince Preibus or Karl Rove or the Bush Family, John Sununu and people of that ilk. Remember though, that there is a GOP Fifth Estate who subscribe to a scorched Earth, 'those who are not for us are against us' approach to matters political. Ann Coulter is the Miss Congeniality of this personity.

A gauge of how far the GOP has drifted into a pro-bureaucracy, pro-statist, pro-Beltway current is enrollment in and support of Libertarian Party candidates. The LP peaked in the late 1970's. They were destroyed by the quasi-libertarian rhetoric of Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, Reagan's actions would not harmonize with his rhetoric but from a purely political perspective, Reagan was successful.

In 2013, the LP has hit a new high water mark. The Virginia LP gubernatorial candidate is polling at 9-13 per cent. You can credit Bush and McCain and Romney for these numbers. You can tip your hat to the consultants too but let's not forget to give a shout out to the Ann Coulters of the world.

For as long as there has been libertarianism, a Libertarian Party and libertarian candidates we have had highly paid media hacks who dismiss their social inferiors with a roll of the eyes and a "Do you still peddle heroin to children?" sort of question. Not just the CBS/ABC/NBC shills but Fox and Hannity and Limbaugh as well. Being that the lead question is always the same, when Coulter is given a chance to field the subject she wags her finger at her audience for their lack of priorities.

Coulter says that this audience wants to discuss drug legalization because they want to "suck up" to liberals. That presupposes the leftist support of drug legalization. The political class views drug prohibition as just one more vehicle to line the pockets of political contributors.

In fairness to "the mob" Coulter calls them a foul name and then is indignant when she gets booed. Come on, Ann. This is a long way from getting shouted down by a bunch of Occupants. This group politely lets you make your point, whatever that point was supposed to be.

As previously mentioned, Coulter was on "The Howie Carr Show" blaming Cuccinnelli's woes on the Libertarians. Howie chimed in by the way, blaming the corrupt John Tierney's re-election on the Massachusetts Libertarian Party. Howie too, is snide when addressing libertarians. Rudeness to libertarian types is de rigueur in the Conservative Media Club.

Ann, you can probably get more voters with honey than with feces but who am I to advise someone of your stature? Not everyone finds your middle finger so endearing. Unfortunately, you might have inflicted collateral damage. If Terry McAuliffe wins the governorship, I do hope he invites you to his inauguration. I hope Bill and Hillary give you deep, wet kisses. You deserve it.

Further Reflections On Libertarians and The Tea Party.

The Tea Party was formed on the premise of fiscal conservatism and a reaction to Federal overreach. Libertarians are by definition advocates of limited government and by definition they are fiscally conservative. From its genesis the Tea Party was quasi-libertarian. One might say it was libertarianism with a narrow focus.

Time passed and the Tea Party and its members were harassed by the Obama Administration. But let's put the actions of Latter Day Fascists aside for a moment and concern ourselves with another development. The Tea Party was co-opted by opportunists. That should not surprise anyone over the age of twelve. It's part of the game. Remember the over the hill political starlets who aligned themselves with Ross Perot's Reform Party?

As opportunists go, this was a bleak harvest. After making a career of defending Republicans and Neo-Cons, Sean Hannity jumped on the bandwagon. The same could be said for most of talk radio. Hacks like Tommy Thompson launched their comebacks. Professional publicity-seeker Joe Arpaio strongarmed the spotlight. The Larouchians crashed town hall meetings. There were Mourdocks and Akins and Teavangelicals at every turn.

The media did their part to distort basic facts. Big-spending Tea Party antithesis Rick Santorum was often referred to as a Tea Party candidate. He expressed his disdain for all things fiscally sane by proposing a tax-driven war on "the scourge of pornography." Nothing wrong with big government if it is staffed with moral people. Spending isn't spending when we do the spending.

Santorum confirmed once more that fiscal conservatism is not compatible with social conservatism. The social conservative always defaults to increased spending. Always. Always. Always. See George Bush and the GOP vintage 2000-2006.

Ordinarily, fringe group rivalries are not always significant. However, Libertarians and the Tea Party are no longer so fringey and a gubernatorial election hangs in the balance. Ken Cuccinelli is a great guy. As Attorney General of Virginia he lead the legal fight against Obamacare. He is in a tight race with Democratic hack Terry McAuliffe. The margin of difference in the polling is about 9% which happens to be the number at which the Libertarian candidate is polling.

Since adolescence I have been either a small l, lower case libertarian, a quasi-libertarian or a libertarian sympathizer. Events like 9/11 have tempered my radical individualist perspective as have the opinions of upper case, large L Libertarians. The dictionary defines a libertarian as one who believes in free will. That would be me.

The discord between Libertarians and the Tea Party is a contrivance. However, the Dems are doing their best to exploit the situation. Out of nowhere these Lib v TP vids have sprouted up on Youtube. They are posted by more than one member who have not previously posted many videos and who it seems, have not been on Youtube for an extended time.

The bogus vids leave their Obot fingerprints everywhere. This is Pink Panther/Keystone Cop sleuth. The Tea Party characters are ditzy social conservatives and if that doesn't give it away, the Libertarians are Kool-Aid-soaked Obama worshippers.

I have never met a Libertarian or libertarian who has lost any sleep over the Ground Zero Mosque or the Birthers beating up on the pampered teacher's pet. At 2:27 of the first video they go off the rails and actually state that under Obama and the Dems Federal taxes have been lowered "in every measurable way." Even in the Obama era of optional truth you would think they would choose a less obvious lie.

If Ken Cuccinelli loses, it will not be due to these bogus Youtube vids. I will blame the GOP establishment, one hundred per cent. In the meantime, please enjoy the cheesy ass efforts of agent provocateur wannabes.

2:27!!!

 HOW GENUINE!

Why Do Conservatives Hate Libertarians Above All Else?

I believe Conservatives hate libertarians because they point out the inconsistencies in Conservative policy. Nothing wrong with the nanny state so long as we have Conservative nannies.

Want to make Limbaugh or Hannity or Beck angry? Call in and mention Ron Paul's name. They hate the man. They dislike libertarians more than they dislike Democrats.

Howie Carr had Ann Coulter on his show today and I listened to about half of the interview. I love Howie Carr and I dislike Ann Coulter. Mind you, I often agree with Coulter but then she loses me sometimes and her personality is always a challenge to endure.

Anyway, Howie and Coulter were complaining because Ken Cuccinelli might lose the Virginia governorship due to the presence of a Libertarian candidate. Cuccinelli is trailing by about nine points which happens to be the percentage of voters the Libertarian candidate is polling. Howie and Coulter are blaming the Libertarians for Cucinelli's likely defeat.

First of all, I don't understand why Republicans think they own Libertarian voters. Second, who says Libertarians draw their backers from the GOP base? Third and most important, why don't the Republicans invite, entice or co-opt the libertarians into their scrawny tent?

About four million expected Romney voters stayed home on election day. Some of these were Ron Paul supporters who were treated rudely by Romney and Sununu at the GOP National Convention. Maybe if they would have treated the Ron Paul people with some respect and more importantly, if they respected The Constitution and the premise of fiscal conservatism, the Libertarian Party might not draw nine per cent of the vote.

I wish Cuccinelli well but if he cannot or will not appeal to a certain nine per cent of the populace, or worse yet, if his party is actively alienating that nine per cent then Virginia will officially become a blue state.
