As we have previously noted, Governor McDonnell has moved firmly into the RINO Camp proposing a 16% Sales Tax Increase for Virginia to pay for more roads. (What is it with these pretend Conservative politicians?) And while the abrupt left turn for McDonnell is sure to ingratiate him in the eyes of Progressives (although Progressives would rather see [...]

I came across this proposed constitutional amendment that Sandy’s Favorite Democrat, State Senator Chap Petersen, introduced this session of the General Assembly: ARTICLE X TAXATION AND FINANCE Section 1. Taxable property; uniformity; classification and segregation. All property, except as hereinafter provided, shall be taxed. All taxes shall be levied and collected under general laws and [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, my Congressman Eric Cantor and his War on Conservatives has convinced me that all is lost on the National Front with the Republican Party. As Speaker John Boehner and Cantor, two Progressives pretending to be Republicans purge Conservatives from every committee, the result is not only a total and complete move away [...]

The following is a message from Virginia State Senator Obenshain on the Voter ID Bill. An ongoing Virginia State Police investigation has resulted in charges against thirty-eight people for voter fraud, to which opponents of modest voter identification requirements-opponents who repeatedly insisted that voter fraud does not exist-responded, essentially, “Oh, that voter fraud.” And then [...]

The Tennessee anti-ICLEI bill was withdrawn by its sponsor and the anti-smart growth bill defeated in committee, according to the Tennessean: Womick took House Bill 3571 off notice Wednesday, meaning it will not be considered again this year. That bill would ban local governments and other entities from taking part in programs with ICLEI or [...]

State Senator Tom Davis, prominent conservative and former chief of staff for Governor Rick Sanford, endorsed Ron Paul today! How important is it?

Apparently, there was an important Revolutionary War battle in South Carolina in January 1781: The Battle of Cowpens. The Ron Paul forces, using the symbolism of the liberation of the Palmetto State from the British, have set up a Money Bomb to commemorate that battle and bring much-needed resources to the RP campaign in SC.

The Iowa campaign manager for MN Rep. Michele Bachmann, Iowa state senator Kent Sorenson, defected to the Ron Paul campaign. Senator Sorenson was accused by the Bachmann campaign of being in effect bought off by the Paul forces. But another staffer for Bachmann contradicted that claim before being in effect fired by the Bachmann campaign. [...]

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli raised some eyebrows with the announcement that he would run for Governor in 2013. Most in Virginia Republican circles were familiar with the “deal” made between then Attorney General Bob McDonnell and then (and still) Lt. Governor Bill Bolling. Or most had at least heard the rumor. In order to [...]

Hanover County, Virginia is a reliable Republican stronghold.

We are blessed to have some of the top members of the Virginia General Assembly representing our fair county. Redistricting made [...]

The boston.com website is reporting that a leading state representative has endorsed Cong. Ron Paul: Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has been endorsed by New Hampshire state Representative Paul Mirski – one of a growing number of legislators who are supporting the libertarian-leaning Texas congressman.

CreighDeeds Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds normally tweets about the mundane. The failed AG and Gubernatorial candidate routinely will let us know what’s on his Ipod (I must say he has a very good taste in music) or the daily fate of his Cincinnati Reds. So I was disappointed when he went out of his way to criticize Glenn Beck and the thousands of Virginians who participated in Saturday’s Restore Honor rally. First he very subtly tweeted a link to the anti-Beck Washington Post column by Eugene Robinson. Then another tweet linking to the anti-Beck NY Times column by Bob Herbert. At this point another tweeter (jnowlin) questions why he would…
