Democrats Say They Elected Brat

[Working Poor]

I have been reading in several democrat dominate forums that they elected Brat of Virgina to get rid of Cantor and so that their candidate would win over Brat.

The dem stagy is to vote in republican primaries and elect who they perceive as the weaker candidate so go forth with this knowledge.

[specsaregood]

Anybody that believes that Cantor lost because of that is deluded.

[Occam's Banana]

At this point, I'm expecting to hear that Cantor's loss had something to do with the Mayan calendar.

Or maybe ...

I have heard a few interviews where Dems spin this as being good for them and how it's another nail in the coffin for the GOP as the party further divides itself. May or may not be something to that.

I could believe that happened in SC w libs wanting Lindsey Graham. Didn't know that Virginia allowed voters to cross over in the Primary.

[EBounding]

I think that's wishful thinking. Maybe if the result was within 1%-2%, but not 10%. But if Brat loses the general it will embolden the establishment of both parties, so we need to support him as much as possible.

[TheTyke]

There was an analysis of this.... the gist was Cantor got many fewer votes than he got last time, and turnout increased in heavy Republican areas - not Democrat. So all evidence points to him being thrown out primarily by Republicans. It's just an excuse for establishment, or trying to take the credit for Dems.

[Brian4Liberty]

Brat won in heavily Republican areas...

[Working Poor]

I just thought I would give ya'll the heads up that dems may be participating in repub primaries where it is allowed do with the info what you wish.

But I think we need to play our hand very close to the chest.

Oh yeah, and more than just voting, they even put up shill GOP candidates in some Congressional Districts.

With one exception. When they proudly tell you that they will lie, cheat and steal to win, they are being 100% honest.

[Southron]

Why does Virginia allow open primaries? North Carolina allows unaffiliated to vote in any party primary. but I just can't figure out why.

All of them, no exceptions. And in fact I would include anyone who has ever considered voting for a Democrat at any level. And also anyone who disagrees with me on school vouchers. /sarcasm

this crap from the dems is an old story...this is almost cliche' now..

repubs pull the same bullshit too...is it real?...you'd have to prove it to me...but how?...saying so doesn't make it so...

Brats making headlines and stirring the pot...its good stuff from where i sit...

If the taxpayer is paying for them; then what right should they have to exclude anybody? One of the reasons I prefer the caucus system.

That is a heavy Pub district last time I looked , so , I see no chance for the Dems there regardless of what they claim .

It certainly isn't real. The only way you would get such a large number of crossover strategic voters would be if you put a LOT of money and resources into organizing it. There would be a record of it either from money spent or word would have leaked out. If it was in anyway true, Cantors people would have gotten wind of it well before the primary and made hay out of it in the media.

[CaptUSA]

Good. Let 'em believe this BS.

It'll make 'em look even more stupid when he wins.

Oh, and we have to make sure he will win!!

That is the most important thing, right now. There will be a concerted effort by the establishment to prevent him from winning the general - we have to fight against it. They will want to demonstrate to the party, that losses is what you will get if you don't fall in line. We have to prove otherwise.

That's exactly what this spin bomb is designed to do, get everybody back in their respective camps and toeing the line.

[thoughtomator]

Dems weren't decisive, but they did turn Cantor's loss into an all-out rout. They probably added 6-8 points to the 11-point margin of victory.

[acptulsa]

They certainly elected a major brat in 2008. Of course, if Fox and a bunch of gullible Republicans hadn't nominated that even more evil brat McCain, it never would have happened.

Yeah, 'Democrats say.' They say lots of stuff. Prolonging the Great Depression was good for the country. We were needed and wanted in Vietnam. Government restricts liberties and steals from people out of compassion. Government can do things better than sane people can. Government is better than charity because it somehow helps poor people to have more people contributing to the fund that more fatcats then steal from.

Never seems to make sense, though...

[Mr.NoSmile]

Realistically speaking, what are Brat's chances? I mean, you have both Dems and Repubs saying that they'll vote for Trammell just to keep it out of a Tea Party style politician.

Have you actually heard a Virginia voter say that? Or just a bunch of talking heads?

I for one can't wait to hear them claim credit for his November victory--over the Democrat--too.

[CPUd]

The last time a Democrat won that seat was in the 1960's.

All the more reason why he has to win. We can't take this one for granted. If he were to lose, it would damage the movement more than you could imagine.

[Aratus]

tacitly i feel this hands the fall election to Dave Brat, unless
the DNC really opens up its "fat cat" coffers in anticipation.

[acptulsa]

Hey, Democrats. Since you people seem not to be bright enough to fashion a believable lie, allow me to help you out. You're purposely getting libertarian Republicans elected so that more of the incumbent neocons will vote even more reliably with the Democratic Mafia. Because there's nothing so useful as a common enemy, and no one rallies Congress against the Common Enemy like a principled representative of the People in their midst. Right?

Right?

[bunklocoempire]

Yep. From yesterday (and EVERY day 24-7):


My neocon boss just said "we better not lose that seat because of this". In other words votes don't matter...they want the establishment pricks anointed.

Doubt, doubt, doubt, fear, fear, fear.

This sounds more like sour grapes from the neocon camp.

[RandallFan]

They got voted Brat to punish Cantor and get a leader who will cave more than Cantor.

Apparently Cantor is leading the GOP conference to block Obama's agenda.

Same with Mitch if they bothered to cross over. They act as if they could get someone more liberal than Mitch to oppose Obama.

Neither, maybe. These are just based off of posts on both Cantor and Trammell's respective Facebook pages.

Seems I remember hearing how wonderful Yugo cars were, too. I felt sorry for anyone who didn't go somewhere besides their ads for a second opinion...

[Tywysog Cymru]

Democrats assume that the Tea Party label is so toxic that they can't win anywhere.

Wrong.

If you're going to pursue me into other threads over this, then you should at least accurately represent what I said.

I never said any such thing as "the only rational position ... is no position." (Rather the opposite (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?449679-Do-Aliens-Exist&p=5508708&viewfull=1#post5508708), if anything.)

[Working Poor]

Okay take it easy. We are talking about democrats and their denial that the tea party has teeth.

[DamianTV]

Lemons into Lemonade.

Discrediting Obama is an attempt to undermine Democrats by Republicans, while this is an attempt to spin this into something that can be favorable for the Democrats, also undermining Republicans. The claim made by Democrats is maintenance of the illusion of the two party system, in that there is supposed to be some sort of difference between a Democratic Neocon and a Republican Neocon. Both parties are Neocons and both will push for bigger and more intrusive Govt in every way possible. Those Tea Partiers are excluded so they are made to not exist in the minds of people, even if they were the cause of the outcome of this election. Same way as MSM refused to even remark about Ron Paul. Ron Paul doesnt exist unless MSM mentions him repeatedly. Neither does the Tea Party.

I would take Democrat Congressman Larry McDonald over ANY of the Republicans we have in office today.

Just by watching CSPAN I can easily tell that the Dumbocrats always elect a whole bunch of brats.
