    It explains that I am disinclined to belabour the obvious.

    TPs' recent ruse that they are only interested in fiscal austerity is belied by so many TP darlings like E W Jackson raving like a drunken Islamic theocrat.

    I am saying I am a conservative libertarian, who has always voted republican until recently. Telling Democrats to give up entitlement programs and regulatory agencies I will say, is not my forte. I don't understand how democrats think anything is going to work... robbing the wealthy of all of their money won't cover it... and they don't get that.

    But you guys I understand. You can keep all the moral conviction you like... you simply cannot legislate it. You must cut spending. You must cut government. You don't. You tell me you will, and you don't. What started as a movement to cut taxes and spending has turned into a movement to ban abortion and prevent gay marriage. The GOP needs a cognative re-alignment. The economy is about to implode. I am not voting for any more corrupt thieves. Cuccinelli and McAulliffe are two sides of the same coin. RvW is not getting affected from a Virginia gubernatorial race. Gay marriage is alienating people... not just gays, but folks with gay friends, gay families. I don't have a dog in that fight except to get the government out of marriage.

    I am voting my conscience. Always. If there is a libertarian, I am going to vote for them, because their party match my beliefs... and the conservatives by in large let me down.

    Cuccannelli was far from the ideal candidate. Saying that,the lie against him,that he called immigrants rats,was totally dishonest. In fact,what he was saying is they break up immigrants families easier than they go after pests. He was being pro-immigrant,and that must be noted. Hopefully,VA gets some tax increases.

    So it is all about religion for the libs.

    They fear belief in God more than they fear an economic collapse.

    More people voted against the Democrat than voted for him. In what was predicted to be a landslide turned out to be a cliff hanger. They Democrats had to run a fake Libertarian to siphon votes away. The Democrats actually had to use extremely dirty tactics to win a blue state.

    Try to overcome your unhealthy obsession with your ubiquitious "Liberals!" and explain how TP darling E W Jackson's radical social agenda is supposed to appeal to libertarians.

    You stated your inability to understand: "I can't imagine why libertarians would not seek common ground with the Tea Party..." and Jackson affords a graphic example to uncloud your mind in the matter.

    You are full of lies on this. The TEA Party Agenda is not about any Social Agenda. That has been a long made up lie by leftists propagandists to attack the TEA Party.

    What the TEA Party Stands For

    1. The TEA Party is about fiscal responsibility. That means to stop taxing and spending at unsustainable levels.
    2. The TEA Party is about stopping Government Growth.
    3. The TEA Party is about the U.S. Constitution. That means we follow what made the United States the greatest country on Earth.

    The TEA Party is not about: social issues (unless they conflict with the aforementioned three statements).

    The next time someone tells you the TEA Party is about: religion, abortion, civil rights, etc... tell them they are wrong and kindly refer them to this site.


    The TEA Party absolutely appeals to Libertarians LIKE ME. I have been a Libertarian since HW Bush. I have voted for Browne, Bernanke, etc... The TEA Party is not what you falsely claim it to be.

    It was sadly the case when they initiated their movement, unfortunately they have been taken over by the social conservatives and the original meaning has been lost.

    You keep beating these dead horses.
    There was no prediction of a landslide.
    Sarvis took votes from McCauliffe, not Cuccinelli.
    When you are so obviously over the top in your commentary your credibility completely evaporates.

    What's funny is that McAuliffe was predicted to win by a land slide...but it ended up being very close. Some are citing obamascare as the reason.

    The obamabots are all giddy with themselves as if this was a major defeat of some sort instead of understanding the implications.

    That's ok obamabots, keep on partying on that sentiment.

    You keep forwarding your lies.... and I will offer rock solid proof that make you look foolish.

    The Democrat was supposed to win by 8%+ to 17%+.... a land slide, yet in the real world it was a cliff hanger and it took completely dirty tactics, a ton more $$$$, and lies spread all over the place for the Hillary Clinton disciple to win.

    I'll attribute your incivility to intellectual desperation, but you are being demonstrably errant. TPs have a radical social agenda that they stridently promote. Thus, the abhorrence of the American public for the TPs.

    I did a thread about how funny it was that the conservative darling Rasmussen was the one crazy outlier poll.
    Still think they are the most accurate? At that time the average polling had McCauliffe up by 7.
    No one was predicting a landslide.

    Really? I missed that, but it could not have been nearly as funny as the reports of Willard's presidential landslide. Now, that's comedy!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hey! They nailed Willard's stunning triumph, didn't they?

    I found it! The giddy "McAuliffe Landslide" wacky prediction. And it was propaganda promoted by the Liberal! media!

    "A poll released Tuesday suggests Democrat Terry McAuliffe has pulled away in the campaign for Virginia governor, opening a 17-point lead against Republican Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II two weeks from Election Day."

    SOURCE: A Rasmussen poll as reported in the October 22 Washington Times

    More lies out of you? The TEA Party has 3 items on their agenda. <--- see that period.

    If an individual member wants to push a social agenda, they do it without the rest of the groups approval. <--- see the period.

    Since you are so ignorant on the TEA Party's Agenda, let me help you out.

    1. The TEA Party is about fiscal responsibility. That means to stop taxing and spending at unsustainable levels.
    2. The TEA Party is about stopping Government Growth.
    3. The TEA Party is about the U.S. Constitution. That means we follow what made the United States the greatest country on Earth.

    You're welcome.

    I have been a member from the start. You are a leftwing propagandist that can't handle the ANTI-SPENDING and PRO-CONSTITUTIONAL views of the TEA Party. We get it.

    Delude yourself as you wish.

    With a public approval level of 22%, the TPs are not going to succeed in pushing their draconian social agenda anyway.

    That's hilarious. An alleged "grass roots" movement that pretends to be indifferent to the values and agenda of its members.
    "Ignore what our folks say; only pay attention to what is decreed in our press releases."

    We don't "pretend" anything. We are very clear on our agenda and up front. Only left wing propagandists like you are placing false attributes to the TEA Party.

    Again... so you may learn.

    • LESS SPENDING / LESS TAXES
    • SMALLER GOVERNMENT
    • CONSTITUTIONALITY


    Tell us which one of those upset you so much that you would make false claims against the group? I am guessing ALL THREE UPSET YOU GREATLY. So be honest and answer the question.

    Of course no one believes this since its not true. They are about forcing their social and economic agenda down everyone throats. The Cooch is a perfect example as he was a huge tea party back candidate. He was all about criminalizing homosexuality, blow jobs, abortions, And down the road likely "infidelity and unmarried sex". Funny how all of your TP candidates have outrageous views on social agenda's. Another such would be Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and of course Sarah Palin. But go ahead and try like hell to spew this nonsense about the TP being only about "small government". Its a laughable at best spin that no one actually believes.

    You are full of propaganda. Todd Akin was asked to quit by the TEA Party.

    If a candidate like Akin, steps out of line like that, they are asked to quit. We can't force them, but we did withdraw our support.

    Again.... so it sinks in...


    1. The TEA Party is about fiscal responsibility. That means to stop taxing and spending at unsustainable levels.
    2. The TEA Party is about stopping Government Growth.
    3. The TEA Party is about the U.S. Constitution. That means we follow what made the United States the greatest country on Earth.
