Brat’s Stunning Victory Highlights The Fringe Elements Of The GOP
Supported by Tea Party and grass-roots activists, at campaign stops and in interviews Brat would tick through the elements of what he stands for, what he calls the Republican “creed — free markets, equal protection under the law, fiscal responsibility, constitutional restraint, strong military and belief in God.”….. “There’s only one problem with the Republican creed, and that is no Republican follows it.”
In other words, Eric Cantor was too lenient on immigration and not far enough to the right for this right wing district. Virginia’s 7th has voted Republican overwhelmingly; no Democrat has won this seat since 1971. Dave Brat, religious theologian and TeaParty darling, has terrific odds of defeating his obscure Democratic opponent Jack Trammell. Calling this victory a miracle from God, he has obviously begun pandering to the evangelical community. By winning this battle on his utter contempt for immigration reform and amnesty, this victory shows the GOP has not adhered to the findings of the autopsy of the party and shows little concern for winning any national elections.

This guy actually looks like a fuller faced version of Eric Cantor.
It’s kind of creeping me out.

How quaint– “free markets, equal protection under the law, fiscal responsibility,
constitutional restraint, strong military and belief in God.” No Democrat in their right mind would support free markets, equal protection under the law, fiscal responsibility, constitutional restraint, a strong military, and belief in God. A communist economic policy, favoritism in applying the law, spending without regard to resultant debt, disregard of the Constitution, weakening of the military, and a godless society is what we Democrats stand for….and you can see how great our country has become because of what we Democrats stand for!
