Tom Bliley the “Conservative” Republican that worked with Henry Waxman (D-Mars) to expand Medicaid endorses Bill Janis. Back in the 80’s Waxman worked with Virginia’s own Tom Bliley to expand Medicaid into the budget busting disaster it is today. And he just endorsed Bill “Waffle Willie” Janis. Good get, Willie! You can’t make this stuff […]

The final campaign numbers are up at VPAP. And we are busy combing through the numbers for the story the financials always tell. The thing that jumps out at you looking at Sioban Stolle Dunnavant’s numbers is the massive money retiring Senator Walter Stosch has poured into her campaign. There are 3 large cash donations […]

Democrat Republican “Who the heck knows what party” State Senate Candidate Siobhan Stolle Dunnavant is a girl that can’t make up her mind. We at Virginia Right! believe she suffers from SIDS – Sudden Interest in Democrat Support. I suppose we can say Stolle Dunnavant is in a state of Party Fluidity not unlike the […]

In a portion of the Obamacare Case that has already been settled by the Supreme Court, it was ruled that the Medicaid expansion was unconstitutional. The reason was because the federal government cannot coerce the states to expand Medicaid or lose all federal funding. The states already received money for Medicaid from the federal government. […]

Reader Submitted First, the President has essentially admitted that his legacy legislation (the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare) is unworkable by changing/delaying it 20 times. It has been changed another 17 times either by congress or the US Supreme Court. The most important part of Obamacare is the mandates forcing individuals and employers to buy insurance. The […]

It’s not too often when RedState gives a Libertarian good news but they did. Here is the story from the email box of the man himself, Erick Erickson (actually written by Neil Stevens)!

There is an email from Susan Stimpson the former Republican Candidate for Lt.
