Doubling Down On Ehlinger’s Argument

by Smitty Emphasis mine: Quit wasting your time and the country’s time trolling Teh Algorez Internetz trying to find the next Presidential messiah. Figure out who your Reps are, figure out if they are worthy of your support or opposition. Your country needs them and you to focus on what’s important. And no b.s. carping […]

‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran, Civil Servant

by Smitty That is, for ‘Civil’ means ‘Selfish’, along with ‘Overlord’ values of ‘Servant’. Remember when your retirement investments did a face plant during the 2008 election season? Here is a brief tidbit from Throw Them All Out by Peter Schweizer. Chapter 2. Crisis For All, Opportunity For Some (emphasis original) On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, […]

Patrick Murray Delivers The Best News I’ve Had All Week

by Smitty As hoped, Patrick Murray rides again, in the effort to Retire ‘Gentleman’ Jim Moran. From his 10 November email announcement: Today I’m announcing my candidacy for US Congress in the 8th Congressional District of Virginia.

Best VA Political Week Of The Year

by Smitty I know CPAC is at full roar, while I sit out in the cold, where I can catch enough bandwidth for a post. What a week in VA news. Cuccinelli tilting the SCOTUS windmill-style for the ObamaCare case. VMI looking really creepy over Islam. And then ol’ “Born Fightin’” Webb decides that fighting […]

On Supporting Long-Shot Candidates

by Smitty I’ve not the slightest misgiving about supporting my local candidate, Col. Patrick Murray (USA-Ret), against Jim Moran, who enjoyed one of the more comfortable margins yesterday evening. Murray is an exemplary American. One might say otherwise of Jim Moran. If you’re not in the game, your loss is self-fulfilling. It was genuinely fun. […]

(Among The) First Vote Post(s)!

by Smitty <kinison> I’ve been waiting for this moment for Two. . .Miserable. . .YEARS! </kinison> Lots of people with their soundtrack cut for today’s election. Picking up the question from the Democrat perspective; as well as the need to capture the Wave Election moment; and the need to get the Led out of every […]
