Yeah, absolutely crushed. He had money, he had the name recognition...

Going to be funny watching liberals try to label an economics professor a financial terrorist.

Oh, it's on now.

The Tea Party is going to be bringing the crazy big time now that establishment will be running scared of a primary challenge. If they can take out the #2 in the House, they can take out anyone.

Immigration reform is dead forever, probably along with any chance of Republicans winning the presidency anytime soon.

It is going to get wild in this country the next few years as this is the biggest scalp the Tea Party has ever claimed.

When the defenders of liberty and advocates for fiscal sanity are labeled by liberals as 'extremists', you can begin to understand the radically twisted mind of those wishing to dismantle the US capitalist economy. It will be interesting to see who ultimately wins this tussle: the marxists/collectivists/environmental radicals, or the freedom advocates who do all the providing.

Not that I disagree with Iggy, but David Brat had virtually no Tea Party support.

He's the only house majority leader ever to lose a primary challenge.

Meh...C'mon he beat the #2 ranking RINO in the House 56% to 44%. But ok.

Meh...C'mon he beat the #2 ranking RINO in the House 56% to 44%. So you're basically saying that conservatives have no shot at beating Dems?

Frankly it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. The thing that's stunning about "Brat guy's" victory is that he kicked Cantor's ass and only spent $200,000 to Cantor's millions to do it.

If Brat can defeat the #2 RINO in the House this easily and do this in an increasingly liberal (thanks to the DC suburbs) state like Virginia, then establishment Repubs had better start taking the Tea Party candidates a little more seriously.

It's a pub district...they could nominate Daffy Duck and still win. The dem opponent is a Sociology prof at the same university where Brat teaches. All he has to do is avoid doing/saying something retarded and he'll win the general by the same margin.

Not a chance. It is a republican district by +15, and turnout was huge. Book it in Nov.

It proves that you don't want to spell out professor.

Every day, he courageously preserves liberty by impotently bitching on a small message board, while "providing" plenty of links from conservative websites.

I know I wish I could be such a great American and devote so many hours of my day to whining, crying and bitching. But, unfortunately, I'm both employed and have a social life, so I guess that's not in the cards...

Fighting liberals with his hyperbole beam

This super zero combats the libs with the truth as he sees it

and fights for the American dream that is:

No Government intervention

Zero taxes

pregnant uneducated women

and the truth as he sees it,

And 2 black men in every garage.


It's conservative!

It's insane!

No, it's:



Kind of looks like a swastika don't it?

...and so says the person "responding" to his comments on those same boards!

It is a GOOD Thing for those of us, who can, to take to every avenue available to us to express our Constitutional Right to freely speak. Many in today's world are not lawfully permitted to do as he, and you, are doing on this thread.

To denigrate someone for using a measly forum like the OC almost sounds like there is a fear that his message may resonate against your wishes. ...all while you are using that same measly forum to post your beliefs!

They bring little to the discussion; they can only whine and moan about the information, links, thoughts and opinions that others bring to the table, and then accuse them of what they themselves do best. Easy to ignore.
