Very nice read! Also went to the Breitbart source.

With the momentum shifting to Ken, I wish the election were next Tuesday.

Mark Levin issues warning on RINO sabotage

Mark Levin has this to say about outside meddling by RINO's

The RINOs want a Terry McAuliffe victory in Virginia.

Many in the GOP establishment, from major fundraisers and consultants, to GOP officeholders such as the GOP Lt. Gov and mayor of Virginia Beach, have either trashed Attorney General Ken Cuccinnelli or endorsed McAuliffe outright. The GOP national machine has done next to nothing for Cuccinnelli. And GOP bag man, Karl Rove, is all over Fox without a word of support for Cuccinnelli, while he schemes and whispers behind the scenes against conservatives nationwide.

Having tried to sabotage Cuccinnelli's candidacy from the start, these GOP actors are hoping for a Cuccinnelli loss and a big Chris Christie win (built on a Huey Long style of politics) to make the case that only big government Republicans can win and limited government, constitutional conservatives, such as Tea Party activists, are too extreme to prevail. They've already written the script.

...

Still, recent polls show Cuccinnelli closing fast. This makes the Left and RINOs very nervous. The rest of us are cheering, and hopefully helping, the underdog. We identify with him, not the sleazy McAuliffe, his radical donors, and the ruling class. We won't retreat. We won't give up. We will fight for the last vote. What a sweet victory it would be! But make no mistake, this is one of many, many battles to come, win, lose, or recount.

What these people will never understand is that for most of us this isn't about politics per se but preserving what's left of our society, Constitution, and individual free will. It is about our families and our way of life. It is about who we are as Americans. We are not surrendering to this because we will not sit quietly while the ruling class continues to destroy our nation. We fight against growing oppression as many did before us. And we will fight like hell through the constitutional process. We will continue to learn, we will take names, and we will battle these people and groups at every turn, and in every election. We are not going anywhere.

...

The sleeping giant that is the American people is only beginning to awaken. It is only a matter of time until more people are roused to join this all important constitutional fight. We fight to hold Virginia today and we fight on thereafter.

You can only siphon those votes that would otherwise have gone to him.

Some seem unwilling to comprehend that there are those of us who would write in Felix the Cat rather than vote for one of the two atrocious major-party candidates.

Since this is an OC/RKBA forum, I guess that some would hope that participants of the forum would share the common goal.

It appears not. The chance to cast a vanity vote for a candidate funded by those seeking to end the 2nd amendment - with no chance to win - appears to have won out for some.

 

[mpguy]

Wavy 10 just reported. They predict with 45% reporting in. The blues have Lt. Gov. ;/

So...
Light'em Up!

Voted this morning. Held my nose as usual. Used my CHP (sorry Peter) as ID for the last time, since photo ID will be required from here out. Now hearing that Sarvis candidacy was bankrolled by an Obama fund bundler from Texas. I am not sure if he is a dupe or a plant. Turnout is low. Citizen, when THEY make the rules, THEY expect them to apply to all of us THEY see as lowly serfs. Non consent will not stop THEM from expecting to be able to enforce THEIR rules on us. Keep your powder dry!

You're right, of course.

What I'm doing is removing their so-called legitimacy, highlighting their illegitimacy, calling attention to their lie--for others.


On a side note, Thomas Jefferson wrestled indirectly with the question of consent-of-the-governed in a letter to (James Madison?). Jefferson got as far as being fairly certain one generation had no standing to bind a later generation. He suggested the possibility of a constitutional convention every 20 years (the timeframe he associated with "a generation".) I kinda like ol Tommy, but I can imagine him squirming at how to reconcile so-called consent of the governed with the fact that lots of people who didn't consent were still going to be governed.

That about says it all

About Sarvis. He only ran as a Libertarian because nobody else wanted to. (or was dumb enough to) He just wanted to keep his name in the game since he lost as a Republican last time.

I am sure Sarvis is happy he screwed Virginia since nobody truly wanted him.

 

[peter nap]

Grapeshot and I were at the bloodbath. I left a little early and missed Sarvis or whoever getting an out escort.
I'm not even going to pull the video cards tonight but did upload the time lapse I let run the entire time I;m filming something.

A couple of hours in 27 seconds.

1. He couldn't run as a Republican.

2. Nobody else was dumb enough to run for them.

3. He is just seeking "name recognition" for his next run for an/any office.

Sarvis is not now, nor has he ever been a Libertarian. Unfortunately, he might pull enough votes to totally screw Virginia by helping McAuliffe win.

Virginia is screwed.

1. True statement. The Cooch screwed all other potential candidates with the putch (push) for a convention instead of a primary. Just ask our current LT Gov. - but do you think he would actually accept the Virginia Republican nomination?

2. Do you think Libertarians that run for office are dumb? There were 7 Libertarians on the ballot. All 7 answered the VCDL survey 100% yes. Must be that those that are pro gun and not ashamed to admit it are dumb?

3. He got name recognition and over 140,000 votes. Republicans and Democrats now know that the 2 party statist system is dead in Virginia.

John is right there was a stark choice.

Statist A - Democrat / Statist B - Republican

or

Liberty - Libertarian

You had me right up to that last little bit.

Republican shills can declare Sarvis "not a true libertarian" all they want, but only one candidate supported ending the prohibition state. Frankly, everything else (except gun rights) is so much noise at this point.

Mmmhhh... it was Sarvis who declared Sarvis not a true libertarian when he accepted backing from Statist Obama-bundler. And then advocated for government tracking of individual car miles driven, etc.

 

[JamesCanby]

It is just comically sad to see how those who supported and campaigned for Sarvis are twisting and turning in their responses to justify their avid support for a candidate who never had a chance to win, garnered less than 8% of the vote and who turned out to be a democrat-supported shill. Regardless of whether these individuals would have supported the Republican candidate or not, it is safe to assume that many of the votes that went to Sarvis in this sham effort would have gone to the Republican and just might have made the difference in the election.

The good news in all of this is that the Libertarian party in Virginia is dead and should be cremated, lest like a zombie it might rise again to pollute the outcome of an election.

Why did the Cooch take money from people that support late term abortions and gay marriage? I think that means the Cooch was a Democrat shill.

Donkey, where is Donkey? Can we get independent Donkey confirmation on that?

Sarvis knowingly took money from the Statists that had the immediate effect of defeating the only electable candidate running against the Statists.

Cuccinelli took money to attempt to defeat the Statists.

It's actually pretty simple.

Thank you, Marshaul - I appreciate your apparent endorsement of my point.

Or at least, lack of effective counterpoint.
