I remember when the Sarvis voters here refused to believe that McAuliffe would be able to infringe on their 2A rights. But just like Obama, McAuliffe (or any democrat tyrant) doesn't let silly things like laws or Legislatures get in his way of advancing his anti-liberty agenda.

I wish the republicans has run someone worth a damn, I wouldn't have had to vote for sarvis.

You can try and rationalize this however you want but the bottom line is, Cuccinelli would not be doing end-arounds on the state Legislature to devalue Va's CWPs. CWPs that people paid good money for I'll remind you. And now without a single vote being cast, those permits will instantly become worthless in 25 other states.

Good job Sarvis voters.

What was your biggest problem with Cuccinelli?

He was an ideologue who used his position as attorney general to advance a number of positions and lawsuits that wasted government resources in order to advance his own career.

His challenge of the epa.
His challenge of a climate scientist at uva.
His challenge of Obamacare.
His legal advice to not include homosexuals as protected from discrimination.
His efforts to keep sodomy illegal

All of which were eventually struck down either by the courts or by his superiors.

Regarding points 1-3: WADR, sounds like you're just a liberal ideologue who would never vote for a republican.
Point 4: AGs provide legal interpretations of the law. VA law was crystal clear on this point.
Point 5: You really thought that Cuccinelli was going to "ban blow jobs?"

If I were a liberal ideologue, I would have voted for the liberal.

Your inability to see things outside of a 1 dimensional, us-vs-them lens is why we are stuck with terrible candidates. I was criticizing cuccinelli's methods, and you took it as a criticism of his stances. I would suggest you reconsider my post for what it says rather than your limited interpretation of it.

I love how you blame the republicans for terrible candidates and then vote for a socialist. Yep, you're just a lib.

You did - Sarvis supported all those things.

No, you specifically mentioned his positions (aka stances). I'll play though - what was wrong with his method regarding Obamacare?

This notion that that sarvis is a liberal (much less a socialist) is absurdist sour grapes by in the tank republicans who can't accept that they butchered the 2013 election.

Sarvis is :
* for free market principles
* anti Obamacare
* anti gun control
* for drug reform
* for the government staying out of the marriage business

Bolling would have won the election. And as long as republicans continue to insist on selecting their candidates at the convention rather than using primaries, they will continue putting forth unelectable candidates. Virginia is still a conservative leaning state but we have two democratic senators and a democratic governor. This is a failing of the va Republican Party.

Sarvis is (was):

* for expansion of medicaid under Obamacare
* against reduction of government / cutting taxes.
* for Keynsian economic policy


I noticed you left "* for open borders" off your list. That might be the only truly libertarian thing about him. I'll also note that Cuccinelli had an arguably libertarian stance on drugs.

PS - Bolling was a cry baby who campaigned for Terry McAuliffe when he lost.

I noticed you missed the most obvious response to Upstate's post: I voted for Mark Obenshain. I'm guessing that's because you didn't.

Don't forget financed by the DNC. He was bait for LIVs that voted based on the L after his name, not based on his policies.

1. Why are you posting this here? It has nothing to do with the topic.
2. Please tell me you're intelligent enough to understand that the primary "pledge" has 0.000% to do with Trump.

Upstate brought up sarvis. Which prompted a discussion on why he garnered so much support. Which prompted a discussion on why the va gop has had problems. This is directly related to that.

I'm not sur I understand your second point. The article is about trump's comments on the pledge. Nothing more, nothing less.

1. You need to decide if Trump is a carnival barker, or an omniscient god on earth and savior of democratic principles. This is just more trolling on his part for free advertising. CNN is eating it up since he's attacking Republicans.
2. Everyone knows the "pledge" was concocted to counter Democrat election spoilers. The Virginia GOP is asking voters to sign it for the same reason the national GOP asked Trump to sign it:
