TPA Casualty

Former Navy SEAL Scott Taylor Defeats Pro-Obamatrade RINO in Virginia Primary

Former US Navy SEAL and Virginia state Del. Scott Taylor won the 2nd Congressional District Republican primary Tuesday with a feisty grassroots campaign after being outspent almost 10-to-1 by U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, a eight-term legislator who was trying to move from his home district to a supposedly friendlier one nearby. His support for Obamatrade cost Rep. Forbes his seat in the US House.

World Net Daily reported: The populist uprising against phony “free trade” and Republicans who love it has taken its first scalp.

Rep. Randy Forbes, GOP establishment stalwart and longtime Obamatrade supporter from Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District, will soon be unemployed. Voters rejected him in favor of his primary opponent Scott Taylor, who stridently opposed Obamatrade.

After RINOs voted to allow Obama “fast track” authority for the Transpacific Partnership (trade treaty), not many TPA supporters were replaced.  It happened too fast for grassroots to find replacement candidates.  So, for most of us, we will have to confront our errant RINOs next time.  In the meantime, we need to have them explain their vote to us.
