Justin Amash's General Election Results Thread (update: Amash WINS!)

[tsai3904]

This is what he said about Amash:

The whole point of running against Amash is that he isn’t even close to the idea of liberty. On not one important social issue has he adopted a liberty position. I’m not even sure he’s all that great on economic issues, either. Those who care about economic and social freedom need to speak up to Justin that simply being good on spending is not the same as supporting liberty.

And this year, he’s set a very poor example by adopting a “rose garden” campaign strategy. Hiding away and not attending forums or debates is despicable. So much for the courage of convictions. His failure to speak out against the Drug War, the militarization of our country, or the right of all people to decide for themselves how to organize their family (the hated Defense of Marriage Act) – are all proof that our Congressman is just a different form of the Establishment Republican that values commericalism over individual liberty.

Whew, Amash is starting to pull away a bit. Let's hope he got some blue tumors out of the way. I don't get why the LP is doing so well.

This is why we need to say no to the LP. So many of them are just eternal defeatists who will reject any progress because of the smallest flaws. I'm not even sure Amash is "progress," he passes the purity test with flying colors as far as I'm concerned.

I'd love to blame the LP guy, but really the blame falls upon the voters. I wonder if anyone here voted LP in that district...

And he pulls back ahead!!

 

[sailingaway]

He'd better win.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Kurt Bills lost

Another sign of movement disintegration.

Stemmed from the fact we can't agree to stick to the GOP.

If this dofus wanted to send a message he should have tried during the primary as a Republican.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Kurt Bills lost

He kinda earned that. Unfortunately.

My scorn for the LP has only grown since 2008--and I was pretty pissed off at them then.

Justin is much more libertarian than many folks in the LP. Why would they run someone against him? ._.

All publicity is good publicity, even if it's negative. This got them free press. They took the opportunity and determined that hurting Amash for the sake of helping themselves a little made sense.
