In Virginia another election has come to a close. No matter how many of these I am involved in, it still feels like the worst hangover win or lose. I was able to see some great Delegates become reelected, I saw a new one step into the role of Delegate and I saw some good friends lose. That is just how it goes. I believe that the media played a negative role in the last campaign cycle. I know many people who voted for the Libertarian because they believed that Cuccinelli had no chance of winning. The libertarian candidate wasn't even a Libertarian. His belief in the expansion of Medicaid was the biggest indicator of that. If the media hadn't pushed to show that Ken was going to lose we might have seen a better outcome.
That is not to say that the campaign itself isn't to blame for it's loss. Instead of standing up and addressing the insults hurled at the Republicans by the McAwful camp, we saw them stand down and let them go. There are a lot of people who would rather believe a lie than look up the truth for themselves. This is the reality we are faced with. We are faced with politicians who spread lies because they can. The people are either too lazy to check the facts or they have become so cynical that they no longer care.
I am just now coming back from my political hangover and I am more ready than ever to keep fighting. We need the voice of conservatives all over to stand up and show that they are tired of being told to be quiet and just accept what the establishment wants for us. I won't stand for Christie being my nominee in 2016. That is not a reality I can accept. This is not a party of moderates and they can no longer shove that down our throats. With the loss of Cuccinelli all of the talk is how we could have won Virginia with a candidate like Bolling. Bolling was only the lesser of two evils, and I will not stand to see my party let me down over and over again. It is time to stand up and do something. It is time to take the party back!
