According to the Republican Party of Virginia’s Chairman John Whitbeck, the “Statement of Party Affiliation” isn’t about voter suppression, it is about ensuring that only Republicans vote in the Republican primary. The party wants to keep Democrats from voting in the Republican primary. These “crossover” voters are assumed to have ill intent and wish to […]

There are a lot of things going on politically that are working against the Democrats this mid term election. And trying to take a poll and “weight” it to reflect the 2014 electorate is a difficult if not impossible task. And to top it off, some of these polls may be less concerned with being […]

I am still hearing rumors about a “wave election” and the Republican Party taking back the Senate. The story goes, that President Obama’s increasing unpopularity and America’s dissatisfaction with the immigration crisis, foreign policy blunderings, and steady economic insecurity spells doom for the Democrats in November. That’s a realistic narrative, assuming there was an opposition […]

“Where is the condemnation?” As a member of the Republican Party of Virginia’s State Central Committee, l am learning that some Republicans resemble chameleons. The Republican Creed of Virginia is ignored. The carrot of power is sought as principle replaces pragmatism. Honesty is not their best policy. Giving or raising money covers a multitude […]

The Republican Party of Virgina can’t seem to get out of it’s own way sometimes. In order to be a member of a Committee you must first run the gauntlet of the McCarthyism Inquisition that begins “Are you now or have you ever thought about supporting someone without an ‘R’ after their name.” We force […]

Wow. They call this monstrosity of a tax increase – $6.1 billion – the “Transportation Bill”. But only 57% is supposed to go to transportation. And we all know how “secure” that spending will be. There is no lock box. So as Bob McDonnell sends email after email trying to convince people that bigger government […]

Virginian’s only have two choices in tomorrow’s primary. And that is an absolute shame.

Yesterday’s chain of events has Republicans buzzing. First, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who has become a folk hero among Conservatives had a bombshell of an announcement when it was disclosed (somewhat prematurely) that he plans to run for Governor of Virginia in 2013. Word is, he planned to make the announcement next week, but the […]
