Ken Cuccinelli, working hard to elect Romney and Allen
A few days ago I got a call from Ken Cuccinelli’s office. They asked what I was doing in the next month to help elect Mitt Romney and George Allen. I told them that I would be volunteering at the Leesburg Victory Office, and the various other things that I am doing to help elect Romney and Allen. They told me how important it is that we all do all we can to elect Romney and Allen. I couldn’t agree more. Tonight I read this article in the Hampton Roads paper, reporting that Cuccinelli is “all in” for George Allen.
Every month I attend the NOVA Tea Party meeting in Ashburn. Every month I hear them talk about important this election is, we must help elect Romney and Allen to save our country. The Tea Party is working very hard to elect our republican candidates. Last month I heard their leader, John Jaggers, urge everyone to join their local republican committee and do all that they can to elect our republican candidates. Our country may not be able to survive 4 more years of Obama. America will be a shell of what it once was.
Americans for Prosperity, with an office in Leesburg, is working hard to elect Romney and Allen. They KNOW how important it is for the prosperity of country, for our future, to defeat Obama and the democrats. They’re walking the walk daily, and making phone calls to voters daily.
So why am I hearing that some of Ken’s most ardent supporters, some of the most conservative members of local republican committees, and some Tea Party members, are going to help re-elect Obama?? Why am I hearing that they’re sitting out this election, or voting for libertarian Gary Johnson or Virgil Goode?! Why would ANY republican, much less a conservative supporter of Ken Cuccinelli, help elect Obama? Why is any member of any local republican party, or worse, on the state central committee, not working to help elect Romney and Allen? Do they not think that taking back the Senate is important? Or that’s it’s ok if we’re all stuck with 4 more years of Obama? Is it really about a protest vote over a convention rules change? Can they be so silly as to think that their protest vote will ‘punish’ the RPV or RNC and not punish the country, our children and their children, for decades to come? (Assuming that we will EVER be able to get our country back if Obama is re-elected?) Have they forgotten what happened in 1992 when Ross Perot cost George H. W. Bush the election? (What ever happened to crazy Ross Perot and his crazy aunt in the attic?) Do they REALLY want to be responsible for helping to re-elect Obama? I see in this blog post that one of our own in Fairfax is admitting to doing just that while others are making their protest more quietly. No one in Virginia can think that a vote for Gary Johnson (L-New Mexico) or Virgil Goode (D-VA, then I-VA, then R-VA, now?) is anything but a vote for Obama. Do they think we won’t notice that they are helping elect Obama?
Does the executive committee of LCRC think we won’t notice those people on the ex Comm who are doing NOTHING to help elect Romney and Allen? I spoke with one district chair who apparently had not heard that he should help elect Romney, never heard of volunteering for Romney, didn’t know about the victory offices, and had done absolutely nothing to help during this election, (nor has the supervisor he represents). Joining some of those on the ex comm are some of our board of supervisors who seem to feel there is no need for them to do anything to help in this election. They’re busy, doncha you know. We’ll remember that when they run again and expect campaign help.
An excellent blog post on this subject, urging all republicans to stop sitting on your hands, can be found at Nova Town Hall.
To all those ‘republicans’ who are sitting out this election, or staging their own little ‘protest’ vote, SHAME ON YOU. We know who you are, and we won’t forget. My children will suffer because of you and your little protest. We won’t forget that you helped re-elect Obama and helped him to continue bring down America, to make us more like Greece and France and to put our children in more and more debt to China. When you lose your job and can’t find a new one, we’ll be sure to remind you that you helped re-elect Obama. We won’t forget that you were once a republican but decided to help re-elect Obama and ruin our nation. Please don’t show up at Tea Party meetings and republican committee meetings pretending to care about the people of this nation when you won’t get out there and help defeat Obama. I don’t ever want to hear you say that you’re a good republican who cares, because it’s obvious that you don’t. Get out and help, or get the hell out. We don’t need you if you can’t support our candidates at the most crucial time in our nation’s history. And don’t think that we don’t know who you are, and what you’re NOT doing to help elect our candidates. We know exactly who you are, your absence is glaringly obvious. Your little protest vote is not as secret as you may think and we will never let you forget it. Please consider your country and our future, get off your butt, follow Cuccinelli’s lead, and help elect Romney, Allen and Wolf, before it’s too late for all of us.

Many are not making an effort to elect Romney and Ryan simply because they recognize them for the Keynesian progressives they are. Romney’s biggest donors are the same Federal Reserve board member banks that bankrolled Obama so hard in ’08. We simply cannot afford to stay the course and thats all Romney and Ryan are really offering.
And yes, they are also looking at Romney’s deafening silence regarding how the delegates of other candidates were treated throughout the primaries and caucuses, as well as the rule changes rammed through by a lawyer representing him. Those sort of things raise serious questions about Romney’s character and integrity.
Some are resigning themselves, once again, to support the lesser of two evils and hope for the best. Others are putting principle over party, and that, I imagine, is the real problem people like you have with liberty Republicans. It is that exact tone in your post that is the problem. You say they don’t care, but when they are spat upon (and in some cases physically assaulted) simply because Republicans like you don’t agree with them, well, thats a GREAT way to build party unity if you just want a small group of people who only think just like you and the rest of the fiscal conservatives in this country be damned. It is you sir, who doesn’t care. Otherwise you would show more interest in building bridges with fellow fiscal conservatives rather than asking for their head on a platter.
While GOPers like you will resent the liberty Republicans regardless of who wins the election simply because they won’t shut up and get in line, they will be busy moving forward and looking to run REAL conservatives for elected offices in the future.
Apologies for calling you “sir”. I just now saw that this post was written by a Lovettesville “Lady”.
John, a vote for anyone other than Romney is a vote for Obama. It’s as simple as that. We won’t forget that you helped Loudoun to go for Obama and you failed to help us take back the Senate by not voting Allen. If you want your children to suffer with the increasing debt and eroding civil liberties, go right ahead and vote for someone other than Romney, but I will not forget what you did to MY children. I won’t forget that you must make a point and have put my children’s future in jeopardy to do it. Thanks for nothing John.
John, You can either make a point or make a difference. You have made a lot of mundane points – but your vote will make no difference. No one wants you in-line, they just don’t expect you to be off the reservation.
I can’t come up with the adequate adjective to describe a so-called conservative that would sit out this election given the economic, loss of freedom, loss of the rule of law, foreign policy disasters that are destroying our country. And I don’t know how they can look at their children. When you have a person like Virgil Goode, who has no mathematical chance of winning out there siphoning off votes to get a little attention, then I say he simply competing with Barack Obama for the National Narcissism Award and undermining my children’s future.
You can’t work with people like John so just work around them. No one will listen to their complaints if Obama gets re-elected because they basically voted for him.
Scooter, you seem to be missing the point. I was invited to an AfP debate party this week by a Tea Partier working on the Romney campaign who is well aware of my views and where I stand. She respects convictions, I respect her work and don’t put each other down. I had no intention of watching the debate based on Romney’s dismal performances during the primaries. However, I went out of respect for her and to socialize. I saw a different side of Romney during the debate that had me reconsider who I’ll be voting for in the presidential race. I also had some very pleasant conversations regarding some of these differences I have with “establishment” Republicans..
She understands the concept of a “big tent” party and the importance of building bridges. You apparently don’t.
John, Do you want a big hug and congratulation on your sudden “enlightenment”? You blast the “establishment” and complain about the delegate fiasco (which many agree is a big problem) then suddenly you are warming up to Romney after being called out, all within 12 hours? I am glad this AFP representative talked some sense into you, but your first post gave no inclination you were considering Romney.
Maybe you should take a lesson from your AFP friend and stop putting people down. As stated before, you sound like you enjoy making a lot of points but no real difference.
As long as there are so-called “Republicans” insist on getting behind Keynesian borrow-and-spend pork barrel progressives for the sake party, the GOP will continue to reenforce the perception amongst the general public that there is basically no difference between them and Democrats. Are your memories so short that you fail to remember that it was the policies of men like Allen and Romney who turned VA into a swing state?
[...] Ken Cuccinelli, working hard to elect Romney and Allen (virginiavirtucon.wordpress.com) [...]
Cuccinelli working hard for Romney and Allen???
I might be mistaken, but I thought Cuccinelli was working as
Virginia’s Attorney General. Romney and Allen hype is part
of his job description?
Ruth, do you have time off from your job? Guess what, so does our Attorney General! During the brief time that he has off work, he’s working hard to elect Romney and Allen. It’s not a difficult concept.
I have no idea who “Chris” is, but anyone not working to elect Romney/Ryan, Allen, and their Republican Congressman, is working for Obama, and in my mind, working against everything American.
There, I said it.
Thanks Sgt! That’s exactly my point!
John, you might want to ask your delegate, Joe May about that. He says that George Allen was the most effective Governor we’ve had in the last 30 years.
Unfortunately, my delegate is a Luke Torian. As a governor I didn’t have any issues with Allen. But then, i wasn’t paying close attention to state politics at the time either. Thats not intended to be any kind of a backhanded critique, its just the truth.
It is his part in the deficit blow-up between 2000 and 2006 when he was in the Senate the first time around that concerns me. I say the first time around because I’m pretty sure he’s got this election in the bag. He’s also the one candidate I’ll be voting for this year in order to vote “against” his opponent because there isn’t a more fiscally conservative candidate on the ballot in that race. I do fear he’ll just support more deficit spending, but at least he hasn’t publicly stated that his intention in the Senate, to put it crudely, is to have his head up the president’s you-know-what if their members of the same party like Kaine did.
I digressed a bit, but I still stand by my statement that the party cannot make any real changes in the economy by electing and supporting such candidates who are not serious about cutting the borrowing and spending. At best, they may offer a temporary stay of execution.
Surely you don’t think that Obama and Tim Kaine will help with the deficit problems that we face!
You guys do not understand. John’s little corner precinct in the world has exactly two write-ins annually. His household.
This is the guy who foisted challenge after challenge against Frank Wolf…and his batting average highpoint was an 8% dig against Wolf with Vern McKinnley. EVERYTHING ELSE has been dismal 2% showings….and yet ,, he never changes. You all know what we call doing the same thing over and over and expecting something to change…..right?
We’re both wrong on this one, this John lives in PWC. sorry John!
“You all know what we call doing the same thing over and over and expecting something to change…..right?”
Thats exactly what I’m saying,
I agree that it may not be enough, but it sure beats the alternative, Obama and a democrat Senate.
My bad. Too bad there are two of them.
The John here appears to be educable. The other one, not so much.
LLady
Cuccinelli has time off, you say.
Is he still drawing full pay?
It’s my taxes, and I want to know.
I would certainly hope that Ken Cuccinelli is drawing full pay since he works at least 80 a week! He would NEVER take all those days off to play golf and vacation like Obama does! When Ken Cuccinelli gets a rare evening off or a Saturday, he often can be found campaigning for Romney and Allen.
You certainly seem to know a lot about C.
Are you perhaps his Girl Friday?
(I hope he does take time off, more than Saturday night, for his wife and children)
Is Obama still drawing full time pay? He can’t even be bothered for his daily intelligence briefings.
In respoonse to your question, LLady, of course I know Obama, kaine, and re rest of the democrats have been part of the problem. No educated voter can reasonably deny that obama has been the worst president in recent history and will lead thic country to ruin if gone unchecked. (which is a HUGE problem in of itself from both parties in congress – they refuse to hold him accountable!). But we need to get out this viscious circle of replacing Keynesian progressives with more keynesian progressives simply because “We need to vote out of office. Its time to stand up to the wall street cartel that has hijacked the GOP. Supporting a guy simply because the main stream media says he’s a frontrunner is not the answer. Whats more important? addressing our flawed fiscal policy with real solutions or just merely “voting the bum out?” and hoping for the best with the next guy? If more people actually voted their conscience then we might actually get somewhere as a party and ditch the perception that the GOP and Democrats only differ on social issues.
I mean to say “But we need to get out this viscious circle of replacing Keynesian progressives with more keynesian progressives simply because “We need to vote out the other guy of office!.”"
I agree, but the time to do that is the primary and not now. Helping to elect Obama solves NONE of our problems, not a one. It hurts us more and more and more if we re-elect Obama and a democrat Senate.
