I enjoyed lunch with GOP House of Delegates candidate Les Adams and his campaign manager Richard Crouse. (Yes, they picked up the bill and I am always thankful for a free lunch!) I told a story or two from my 1989 campaign with the caveat that Les should do exactly the opposite! Well Les is […]

I want to first thank the CCRKBA (Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms) for this idea! Here’s the original editorial. Apparently the Telegraph newspaper in Great Britain took a poll (admittedly unscientific) to see what issue from among six the British Parliament should take up this year. The results were astounding: […]

This is a fascinating article that will tell it: Is UKIP for real? Even the headline is showy: David Cameron’s fury as top Tories plot UKIP pact which could make leader Nigel Farage a minister Wow. Well, to be a minister, you have to be elected MP I would think. And some UKIP supporters would […]

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 […]

I doubt the retirement of a long time Tory MP would normally draw my interest BUT the retirement at the next General Election of MP Richard Ottaway is very interesting ot me! Here is the article at ConservativeHome with this highlight: Richard Ottaway, the Member of Parliament for Croydon South since 1992 (previously Nottingham North 1983-7), has […]

The Independent is reporting today that UKIP leader Nigel Farage is in discussions with perhaps two Tory MPs about defecting to UKIP. Disillusioned Conservative MPs have secretly contacted the UK Independence Party to discuss possible defection, its leader claimed yesterday as he appealed to Tory Eurosceptics to jump ship. I would say that this is […]

As my readers know my Favorite Democrat was Rep. Heath Shuler of NC, the former Redskins and Saints QB, and conservative member of the House. I even nominated Rep. Shuler for President! But I began to sour on Shuler when he refused to vote to repeal Obamacare and he did not run for Governor of […]

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 […]

Rick Santorum had his biggest night last night picking up wins in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. While doing little to actually pick up delegates, the victory shows that Conservatives – particularly in the Heartland – are not fans of Mitt Romney’s brand of liberal politics. Squishy Republicans are not the answer for many Conservatives. Another […]

As I have stated before, I am not an attorney. But I understand the significance of words used in legislation and the consideration placed on these words in a court of law. And the concept of “Legislative Intent” is often a major consideration in a hearing. So, in contemplating the words and intent of Virginia’s […]

I’m no attorney but I do know how to find and read the laws of Virginia. Various reports have stated that the signatures turned in by Newt Gingrich included at least 2,000 that were invalidated because there was no address given with the signature. If this were a Virginia Statewide office, that would be correct. […]
