Gov. McDonnell’s Tax Hike Is Key To His ‘George Allen’ Strategy

by Smitty If Virginia Republicans are going to continue to produce centrist milquetoasts for thrashing by statists in general elections, then putting in the largest tax increase in Virginia history is a must-do. Nothing says ‘limited government, fiscal conservative’, quite like $1.13 billion/year at the state level, and then heading to a CPAC prayer breakfast. […]

A Bit Of Doggerel For Governor McDonnell On ObamaCare

by Smitty It sounds like Governor McDonnell is going wobbly on us here in Virginia. Send him a note, Virginians, as I just did: Rumors abound they got to you; that somehow you have flipped. Gonna go ‘Full Arlen Specter’, or some some wag had quipped. Let us pray the report was false, and into […]

Democrats: The Party of Criminals

The Filthy Rotten Party of Corruption, Treason, Fraud, Sodomy and Abortion is represented in Congress by such vicious specimens as Harry Reid, Charlie Rangel, Robert Menendez and Jim Moran. But the party elects thieves and thugs at every level, which explains why suburban Richmond is represented in the Virginia House of Delegates by a disbarred, disgraced and […]

Lance Armstrong For President

by Smitty Watch me take a contrary position on the famous cyclist, who is demonstrating more integrity than many public figures in circulation: Lance’s confessional comes at an interesting time. For more than a decade, Armstrong dared anybody who challenged his version of events to prove it. Finally, he told the tale himself after promising over […]

Penetration, However Slight

Oh, Senator Warner, you’ll be facing some […]

Needed: HR 824–House Select Committee On Benghazi

by Smitty Tonight at the Northern Virginia Tea Party meeting, there was discussion of a group scheduling a meeting in the near future with Rep. Frank Wolf, to make sure that minor event a few months back doesn’t slip the gentleman’s mind, and find out how to help advance the cause for HR 824, to […]

Easy Progressive RINO Test

by Smitty Already we are told to blame the Tea Party movement for not taking back the Senate, even though more “moderate” Republicans lost their races than Tea Party supporters. Two words in response to this tripe from the Establishment, the second of which is ‘You!’. Here in Virginia, we had to watch George Allen, […]

On the Encroaching Gloom: ‘We Are Permanently and Irretrievably Screwed’

GAHANNA, Ohio Sitting here sorting through the debris of last night’s utter catastrophe, I saw an e-mail from a friend in Colorado, who wrote to say that he shared my dark mood. So I sent him a brief reply: Yeah. The full implementation of ObamaCare — how can we possibly recover from that? And it […]
