NOTE: Please read the entire post if you are going to comment. Several comments tell me that the person only read the title and made assumptions. This was a difficult piece to write and I would imagine it is not easy to read, either. The truth seldom is. But we, as Conservatives, tend to surround […]

Governor McAuliffe was on WTOP’s “Ask The Governor” this morning, making his case for Medicaid Expansion through the Affordable Care Act. I was in my truck, so I couldn’t call in, but listening to the Governor while driving is probably as dangerous as texting, or putting on makeup, or clipping ones’ toenails while operating a […]

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 […]

After assuming that the Republican Nomination was all locked up after his magnanimous gesture to seek a second term as Lt. […]

Governor Bobby Jindal is virtually unopposed for reelection as Governor of Louisiana.

In an interesting story to me (and after all that is what matters here at Virginia Right!)
