I'm getting really nervous about the Governors race

McAuliffe is no friend of the second amendment and with the way Virginia has been voting recently I wouldn't be surprised if we had restrictions rammed down our throats.

Here's hoping decent gun folk and conservatives don't listen to the democrap "they're all the same" line and sit this one out too. Or worse yet vote for a candidate that can't win.

You know I want Cucinelli to win because of all the democrap's commercials, I watch them and think hmm I like the way he thinks! :hysterical:

McAuliffe can can go feed the daisies as far as I'm concerned, he's an Ol bama lacky.

The problem with McAwful, and the reason for the angst, is that McAwful isn't radical enough. He's playing it all close to the vest at this point. If he wins, that will be why.

Already trying to structure the excuses for a Republican loss. Funny how someone who does participate in the voting process could be looked down on as being worse than someone who chose to sit home and not participate. But you know, with that line of thinking of "it's everyone else's fault for my loss" no wonder support for Republican candidates continues to dwindle.

All I know is that Democratic voters will turn out and vote D. Libertarian voters will turn out and vote L. If Republican voters don't turn out to vote R, what does that say about the candidate?

I agree on this one. People think they've seen his shady side already. Just wait until he's sworn in.

It''ll definitely be a close one. Turnout will be key to determine who wins.

I'm a Libertarian.... I've decided to vote for Ken.

I disagree with him 20% of the time.

But Terry Mac, being a FAR LEFT WING PROGRESSIVE COMMIE SCUMSUCKING DAWG? I disagree with him 90% of the time.

I cannot let the Left ruin my Commonwealth like they have ruined this nation. I cannot let that happen.

I keep telling my friends that are full boat Libertarians that the easiest path to the Libertarian platform is the republican party most times but there are some big government Republicans that throw a wrench in that argument.

I think the key is we all need to vote and also encourage others to get out there even if Cuccinelli isn't everything they want.

I can't believe we are even at this point where we are seriously at risk of losing Virginia.

There is no perfect candidate. Every candidate will be missing something. If you hold out for the perfect candidate, the Commonwealth will be lost.

I second that statement. The way I look at it. I can have a candidate that I agree with 30% of the time if I am lucky (D), a candidate that I probably agree with 70% of the time (R) or a candidate that I agree with probably 85% of the time but has a 99 44/100% chance of not being elected(L) . Realistically if people really want the Libertarian party to take off and become relevant, they have to start winning local elections, then those folks need to run for House of Representatives and then Senate seats. There is just no way they are going to win the Governorship or Presidency without any lower office presence.

Following democrap direction in order to elect the liberal progressine via the democrap smear/lie campaigns is the issue. That being the case I see those who vote for a 3rd party candidate who cannot possibly win because of dumbocrat smears /lies as entirely equal to those who give up and don't vote because "they're all the same". Socialist domocats don't do that. They back an agenda defray the opposition and follow the Saul Alinsky rules for radicals to marginalize then demonize, then defeat their opponents.

If you feel above the fray by trumpeting your ethical decision please remember you lost. If we follow that lead we'll be very proud of our personal ethics as we are manipulated into a soviet style socialist state. Remember, progressives will vote in a block for the candidate that will forward their agenda and put in a plan to change YOUR country. Even if the candidate is Snidely Whiplash.

Time for us conservatives to change become active and RESIST the democrap progressive Saul Alinski machine. Not just be manipulated by it.

Be proud of them as you should be. That being said, is it the place of government to enforce yours, mine, or bin-Laden's on someone else?

Consider that at the moment the progressives are giving you a choice of Obama's and Putins....

Get active, join the Tea Party, run for office, hold the candidates you elect to office accountable...

Otherwise we're riding Saul Alinsky's kiddy car driven by Obama into socialist crack hell.

Problem is nobody seems to care, at all, about this election. No one is excited about it. I heard a long time republican refer to Cucinelli as a total idiot. What does that tell you? I expect a very low turnout.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thing is, Cucinelli is not an idiot. He's pretty conservative and he has at least above average courage of his convictions. The reason main-line republican establishment types think he's an idiot is the same reason the Tea Party loves him; and on balance, it should (at least on non-social issues) make libertarians fell better about him than McAwfulip. In a very real way, Cucinelli's nomination represents the best and most visible progress strong conservatives AND libertarians have made against moderate/progressive republican hegemony over the conservative camp to date.

Simple solution, get the hell out and vote,,, If you don't, you have nothing to say about the results. Granted, a candidate may not be perfect and in other cases they're a complete train wreck, but the results of not voting against that train wreck could be devastating for our rights,
