And, EXACTLY what are the qualifications you like about him?
EXACTLY.
No waffling. No sideways skittering. Just a straight out answer.
What positions of Brat's are you in favor of?
Opposes Mass Immigration/ Amnesty
Wants to Audit/Reform Federal Reserve
Wants to Repeal Obamacare, provide free market reform
Opposes Nation Building, Believes troops should be used in guard our borders instead of being used in fail nation building missions abroad
Opposes NSA/ Patriot Act
Those are the first things that come to mind.
Dave Brat for Congress | Issues
I KNEW you would run to his site and do a quick copy/paste.
Read Interpol's post ^^ and read more of Brat's own words.
He's an empty shirt, a cipher.
IOW, he's the perfect tee potty candidate.
His stance against Immigration Reform is retarded.
He's just another moronic Lou Dobbs on the issue. Just wants to complain but doesn't actually want to solve the problem.
This administration heightened border security and upped the amount of deportations already. Those are well-established facts.
The economic data shows that it's in America's interests to put the people already here on a comprehensive pathway to citizenship. It's more cost-effective to do that because America NEEDS those workers anyway.
On a separate note, this is the kind of moron who would've complained after the Boston bombings that our government has grown too large and militarized by the images of the police force in that city when they basically locked down part of it.
But on Immigration Reform, this idiot thinks it's better to just expand our law enforcement and just go door-to-door trying to find every single illegal so we can boot them out.
The anti-immigration zealots are retarded people. They represent a strain of the GOP that actually isn't totally Tea Party, but which the Tea Party does seem to support.
It costs our country more to do nothing on immigration or to militarize ourselves internally even more than we are now.
It costs less and yields greater tax revenues in the long run to put these working illegals on the books so they can finally contribute on a federal level like everyone else who's working.
David Brat is not just wrong; he's a stupid person whose ignorance has a good shot of sinking him this year because he's got no other skill other than to rile up the portion of the GOP that loves being riled up over bullshit issues that have totally logical ways of being solved.
If Democratic candidate Jack Trammell (who is a sociology professor at the same college Brat teaches at, coincidentally) can make a decent play for the moderates coupled with Brat suffering from the Tea Party's foot-in-mouth disease, we might just see another upset in November.
