Virginia Right!

I left the Virginia GOP convention because I had voted (for Bishop Jackson for the fourth time!) and I had neglected my family enough and did not choose to see the acceptance speech. But I missed the excitement with the allegations that the Snyder campaign had made up endorsements of key people to try to [...]

Tom White and I conferred by email and we are endorsing both of the constitutional amendments – Amendment 1 because it will preserve a state statute that requires public eminent domain taking to be for a public use and not to increase property values or for urban planning.  I do not trust politicians to make [...]

One of the most important measures of a political candidate is the people and groups that endorse that candidate. George Allen has picked up endorsements from the National Rifle Association, the American Conservative Union and a number of Congressmen and Senators. And word is, that list is about to grow some more. Later today, the [...]

Last week, I declared George Allen the de facto winner of the Republican Primary for US Senate by virtue of the fact that the TEA Party has failed to coalesce behind a single candidate. As I stated in that article, this was not a reflection on the four Republican opponents vying for the job along [...]

Yesterday, I posted my thoughts on the Virginia US Senate race in light of the Press Release from George Allen announcing endorsements from members of various TEA Party and Patriot groups. Some of the comments, emails and even phone calls have been both interesting and curious. And there has been a lot of talk around [...]

Hanover County is one of the safest suburban areas in the country, thanks in large part to effective law enforcement. Sheriff Stuart Cook has done an outstanding job for many years.

Hanover County, Virginia is a reliable Republican stronghold. As a resident, it is fitting that the first endorsements of the 2011 General Election concentrate on the 5 members who represent parts of the county. We are blessed to have some of the top members of the Virginia General Assembly representing our fair county. Redistricting made [...]

Next Tuesday, August 23, 2011 there will be an opportunity for Republicans to decide which among them will best be able to win a Senate seat and help rid the Commonwealth of the ineffective and, at times, disgraceful leadership (or lack thereof) by the Democratic majority.

Over the last year or so, in between the brush wars of the 2009-2010 election cycle, I have kept an eye on the actions taken by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina… and I have been impressed. What I have witnessed over this period is a that Jim DeMint is an unapologetic, dyed in the wool, Ronald Reagan conservative, even when its inconvenient. He has done whats right, even in the face of opposition from his own party. He has supported, through his Senate Conservative Fund , and personnel endorsements a host of CONSERVATIVE candidates for the US Senate, including, Marco Rubio…

It has been rumored for some time now that the NRA (National Rifle Association) will endorse Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race against the conservative Sharron Angle.  This is confusing to most because while Sharron Angle is a 100% Second Amendment supporter, Harry Reid pretends to be pro-gun but uses his position in the Senate to undermine the right to keep and bear arms. While the NRA has gone out of their way to state that they have yet to endorse anyone in this race. For the record, the NRA-PVF has not yet made an endorsement in the Nevada U.S. Senate race .  In fact, there have been no announced endorsements for any U.S. Senate seat for the November general elections—period. It is increasingly apparent that the Reid endorsement is coming. The August issue of the NRA magazines included a preemptive explanation for the unpopular recommendation titled Making Endorsements Count which regurgitates the NRA-PVF Endorsement Policy . They go on about being non-partisan and a single issue organization that …

Pretty amazing stuff. Seems the left coast bird cage liner LA Times is beginning to think Barbara Boxer’s freshness date has expired. When the LA Times thinks she is beginning to smell bad, that’s pretty newsworthy.

Senator Ken Cuccinelli (R-37) accepted the endorsement for Attorney General from 77 different elected law enforcement officials from across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

“I am honored to announce the endorsements from 77 law enforcement officials, both Sheriff’s and Commonwealth Attorney’s, of my candidacy for Attorney General of Virginia,” Senator Cuccinelli said. “These individuals, all of whom have the trust of their communities, and many of whom are politically independent, are supporting me because they know that as Attorney General I will advance tough strategies for fighting gangs, drugs, and other crime.” He continued, “I am humbled by such widespread support among Virginia’s Sheriffs and Commonwealth Attorneys, in addition to the Fraternal Order of Police, which itself represents more than 8000 law enforcement officers and is the largest law enforcement organization in the Commonwealth.”
