If I were a democrat…..

July 2nd, 2009

I’d keep my mouth shut about the stimulus spending, especially since we don’t know if it’s going to work. We have two and a half years to watch. Voters will be angry if they took on all that debt and have nothing to show for it but a bigger hole…….

Contract with America 2010

July 2nd, 2009

If elected, we promise to push forward with the legislative agenda set forth in this document.

1. Repeal the Nationalization of Healthcare Bill passed in 2009.

2. We promise not to “bailout”, with taxpayer funds, ANY sector of the economy, except those directly related to national security.

3. Repeal any laws usurping the states’ rights in regards to abortion.

4. Abolish the Department of Education

5. Abolish the current tax code and replace it with a system that encourages savings and simplifies taxpaying for both individuals and businesses.

6. Require all legislators to read all bills and sign an affidavit that they have read and understand the affects of the laws they have considered.

7. Require a balanced budget for domestic spending at the end of each fiscal year.

8. Abolish the practice of amendments to bills that are not germaine to the original legislation.

9. Repeal all Cap and Trade policy.

10. Mandatory 5 year jail term for ANYONE intentionally engaged in voter fraud.

Add your ideas in the comments….

I’m waiting for one democrat…..

July 2nd, 2009

to come up with a private sector solution to “all these uninsured Americans” problem.

How Creigh will win this thing…..

July 1st, 2009

Creigh needs to spend 40% of his time campaigning in NoVa, Richmond, and Tidewater. The other 60% needs to be spent in rural areas. If he runs a Mark Warner style campaign, he’ll win.

Bob McDonnell must concentrate on NoVa and Richmond. He is going to have to rely on his republican friends, in republican areas, to turnout the voters that should be his.

Attention Creigh Deeds…..

next time you’re in the ‘Burg, swing by the house. We need to have a little chit-chat.

Cap and Trade=No Child Left Behind

June 29th, 2009

Both sound good to the average voter….who doesn’t any know better.

Is Brenda Huffman becoming a democrat?

June 27th, 2009

I don’t know if Father Lowell has baptized her yet, but Brenda is on the Facebook members’ list of those who support Gene Hart. Of course, Brenda is a former independent candidate for the Clerk of Court, and at one time, planned to run for the republican nomination.

Also, Christa Gitchell, the area’s most conservative photographer is on the list, along with Brent and Jeremy….but that’s no big shocker there…..

Gene Hart makes me laugh…..

June 27th, 2009

I went to Gene’s website this morning and began chuckling before I was done reading his intro. There is almost no mention of him being a democrat, but here’s the money quote:

“Together we can assure that Harrisonburg, Rockingham County and the entire central Valley region has a common-sense voice in the coming new Democratic majority in the House.”- Gene Hart

This sounds like he expects the democrats to rule the House and we need to elect him because he has common sense and will derail their irresponsible plans.

Then comes his big dodge on abortion:

I believe that a woman, in consultation with her physician, does and should have the right to make her own health care and reproductive decisions. I support Virginia’s existing informed consent and parental consent laws. However, I believe that the long-running conflict between rigid “pro-choice” and “pro-life” advocates is increasingly unproductive. Therefore, I will stand ready to work with good people on both sides of this issue to move our state towards a “choose-life” consensus. Such a consensus would recognize that better access to health care, better education, policies that encourage adoption and expanded economic opportunity will result in more choices for life. -Gene Hart

This does sound better than many of the local pro-choice republicans, and of course, I’m just begging Gene to tell me if he supports Obama’s Freedon of Choice Act….Yes Gene?

I’m really disappointed he doesn’t address agriculture…..

Democrats poised to totally ruin our economy!

June 27th, 2009

At 3:09 this morning, a 300 page amendment was dumped in the hopper and passed in the House before people had a chance to read what is probably the most important legislation in the last 10 years. Pelosi’s energy taxes will have a profound effect on crippling our country…..

Bob’s for jobs…Creigh’s for education

June 25th, 2009

The Republitarian’s for love!

The lyrics couldn’t be truer.
