Here is a wonderful, well-done video. Lots of views from a diverse group of Britons. Nothing shrill but I thought the point about how the ECHR (read EU) keeps Britain from deporting foreigners who were convicted of crime is telling. I’d play that up a lot. Very effective. It’s not NO yet but it’s getting […]

I (Sandy) have known Del. Chris Peace for sometime. In fact, even when I was not in his district, I was impressed with him very much. Delegate Peace has become a leader in the House of Delegates. He had a regular column in the Times-Dispatch. He is a movement conservative and generally votes right. He […]

Update: Virginia Right! endorses Buddy Fowler. I have personally known Buddy Fowler for several years and have had many chats with him. (Buddy and I were both Magisterial District Chairmen in Hanover.) He is not only a good man, he is a strong Conservative and will be a reliable successor to John Cox (whom I […]

The dust has settled on the 2012 Presidential Debates and each campaign is busy spinning the final debate to declare victory for their side. But the truth is, with Presidential debates it is very hard to declare one candidate or the other the “winner”. There are no scorekeepers, no referees to decipher face from fiction in real time […]

I am back from the GOP state convention. A few thoughts (just mine): Governor McDonnell had an excellent video to speak to the convention (The Governor is apparently in Europe on a trade mission); well put together. Bishop E. W. Jackson gave a stirring speech to endorse George Allen as the winner of the US […]

House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor will face a primary challenger in the June 12th Republican Primary contest. According to his campaign, Floyd Bayne has turned in the required number of signatures to appear on the Primary Ballot. Bayne is a Constitutional Conservative who has previously challenged Cantor as an Independent. There is no word […]

Mental Recession has a great piece on some shocking Union behavior that I found very interesting: The Albany Times Union has broken a story involving correction officers in Rensselaer county trying to unseat the incumbent Republican sheriff, Jack Mahar, through unsavory means. The crux of the story involves getting inmates to register or change their […]

All the Presidential candidates have at least one. Even Stephen Colbert had one when he ran for “President of South Carolina” (perhaps he had his year wrong – SC seceded from the Union on December 17 and was not joined until January 10 by another Confederate state. That would make the Governor of South Carolina […]

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 […]

When I read the Press Release from George Allen a while ago announcing the endorsement of a number of Virginia TEA Party Patriots (over 100) that have endorsed Allen for US Senate, I said “WOW”! And when I began reading the list of names that were included in the release, my subconscious began crunching the […]

The Times Dispatch Corrects Democrat Tom Shield’s FALSE charges against Delegate O’Bannon: The Republican incumbent in a hotly contested House of Delegates race in Henrico County is rejecting charges by his challenger that he opposes emergency contraceptives for rape victims. “That my opponent continues to make false claims about my record is disappointing,” said Del.

What is there to fear, Delegate Lewis. Your challenger, Republican Melody Scalley is not a politician like you. She’s not a lawyer like you. And she’s not even politically correct. She will call you out for stomping on our rights and liberties no matter your party. She’s also a very petite lady. Surely you don’t […]
