Eric Cantor solicits your advice

Floyd Bayne is offiicially PROHIBITED from joining the GOP (to protect Cantor)

Perhaps, Sir, you missed any of Floyd Bayne's 2010 campaign stops... Cantor [won't] would not even debate Mr. Bayne because he (Cantor) knew that his (Cantor's) RINO record would show how conservative Floyd is. Yes he ran as an Independent Green but that is because IIRC the Republican party of Virginia would not even entertain a primary. Next year I think Floyd will run under the Virginia Conservative Party. At least I hope so!

Well, the GOP has banned Bayne from the GOP and therefore has prohibited him from running as a (real) republican and challenging the RINO Cantor:

The Penalty for Misbehavior

If only the Mexican borders were sealed so tight.

The problem with thinking that the tea party movement can easily infiltrate and take over the GOP is that it is widely known that the tea party has that goal in mind. Telegraphing your intentions to your opponents is usually not a winning strategy, unless you are certain that your opposition is so fearful, or so weak, that he will bow to the pressure and lay down without struggle.

Perhaps fear and weakness are components of some GOP committees, but that’s hardly descriptive of the local committee here in Chesterfield County.

Last night, the Chesterfield County Republican Committee (CCRC) denied Floyd Bayne’s application for membership. The vote was cast by secret ballot, the first time that such a thing has ever been done in committee history, and overwhelmingly opposed to admittance (80-17).

Supposedly the opposition concerned Floyd’s actions; both the things that he did do, and things that he didn’t. Among the things that he did do was to challenge Eric Cantor in the 7th District race last year; running as a member of the Independent Green Party. Floyd has since resigned from the Greens; the marriage was only one of convenience and not true love, anyway.

Actually, Floyd has long considered himself to be a “Reagan Republican” for most of his adult life. In the past few years, though, like many of us, Floyd has found himself holding the Republican Creed in one hand, and the voting record of Republicans in another, and thinking: WTF?

It would appear that the entrenched Powers-That-Be are so desperate to protect phony republicans like Cantor that they will do whatever it takes to keep out Tea Party activists, RKBA activists, and anyone else perceived as a threat:

What Floyd did do, was publicly challenge the disparity in what Republicans have said they would do in office, and what they have actually done in office. What he didn’t do, was support Republican candidates when he felt that their actions deviated from the promises they made to the people.

For that, Floyd was branded a traitor to Republicanism.

Is Cantor really that afraid of competition -- or confrontation?

Floyd Bayne stepped out of relative obscurity to mount a run for office because he felt things were heading in the wrong direction, and Cantor was part of the problem. Floyd fought the good fight in the best way he knew how. He didn’t have the money to mount a truly competitive campaign; he couldn’t even get Cantor to give him an hour for debate.

Well at least Bayne is not an adulterer like Matthew Geary.

Cantor wants MY advice??

"If you love power more than liberty, the tranquility of the nanny state better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in shame. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand of big government that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”— Adapted from speech of Samuel Adams

BOLO for Linwood Cobb

As the OP for this thread, I want to emphasize the likelihood that hoplophobe Cobb will be there. The issue of prohibition at the Roundup really should be directed at him. You can find a 'mugshot' of Cobb higher up in the thread.
