Virginia Right!

I think as follows: Romney/Ryan 347 and Obama/Biden 191 Battleground states: Romney will win:  Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Florida, NC, Virginia, Wisconsin, Minnesota (because of the gay marriage initiative and George Will said the same thing), Iowa, Maine district two and Colorado. Obama will carry Michigan and Nevada. BUT I also think that Romney/Ryan will [...]

Tom and I agree: Romney/Ryan is our choice for President and VP.  We got to get rid of Obamacare, excessive executive orders and powers, and the continued radicalism of the present administration.  While I (Sandy) would prefer to vote for either Virgil Goode or Gary Johnson, that is simply not an option in a battleground [...]

I am keenly interested in the Constitution Party these days.  I was glad to see former Congressman Virgil Goode get nominated, although I thought he could have been stronger in the October 23 debate in Chicago.  I would have summarized the platform, challenged Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Citizens United a so-called climate change [...]

Is it in the water?  A time warp?  This is the biggest year for Virginia politics since 1841.  Virginia native (born in Winchester!) and resident Rick Santorum was the first resident of the Old Dominion to win a major party caucus – Iowa.  Then Virginia resident Newt Gingrich wins the SC primary, another first for [...]

In my blog post on former Congressman Virgil Goode perhaps running for President in 2012 on the Constitution Party ticket I said if I ran for a third party office it would be as a member of the Constitution Party.  That begs the question:  What would be Sandy’s platform? End all needless do-good wars started [...]

I was trolling the net for research for a neat story about what the right-wing third party candidates would do in 2012 so as to make sure they do not inadvertently help President Obama get re-elected (If I were a candidate for the Constitution Party nod in 2012, I would make sure I only campaigned [...]

My favorite Democrat (officeholder), Rep. Heath Shuler, is moving toward a run for Speaker of the House. “If there is no viable alternative, I will be running for speaker of the House,” Shuler said during a radio debate with Republican Jeff Miller, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported.

Robert Hurt, the Republican Candidate, is has been leading in the polls for some time though the lead has narrowed in recent weeks. Perriello’s Campaign announced today that President Obama [...]

I live near Charlottesville. I am of a conservative, libertarian, Constitutional frame of mind. I am concerned that our country is being led and pushed headlong off a cliff into what Reagan called “the dustbin of history”, aka the failed, dictatorial system of socialism.

At times in life there are opportunities where you and I can really make a difference in our nation’s government. Today is one of those moments.

Our nation is in crisis. Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are imposing socialist programs at breathtaking speed, and there has been little effective Republican opposition.
