Lingamfelter Gets A New Fundraiser
By Greg L | 6 September 2007 | 31st HOD District, Humor & Satire | 25 Comments
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter apparently has discovered a new fundraiser for his campaign, that has already started to get the campaign contributions rolling in.
Not too long ago, his opponent William Day spent two hours on the phone with one of Delegate Lingamfelter’s constituents. Immediately after the conversation, this constituent called Scott Lingamfelter’s office and asked where he could send a $500 campaign contribution. That contribution arrived several days later.
What a great idea, Scott. Hire your opponent to do your fundraising for you while you knock on about a hundred doors in the district! Best of all, it seems that Day is doing this for free. What a nice guy!

Interesting issue: does day have to report his activities as an in-kind contribution to the Lingamfelter campaign?
He’s got to get Day to spend less time per contributor
Warming up to the idea of Congressman Scott Lingamfelter if Jo Ann Davis retires
Check it out…

Congressman? Try Senator Lingamfelter.
In any event - the worst possible enemy an ultra left liberal like Day has - is his own mouth.
Properly prepped and stroked - they will hang themselves every time.
This is great. Day will be so gun shy about dealing with would be constituents - he won’t know to whom to lie - or tell the truth.
Is see his footprints all over his genitals…
Congressman Lingamfelter….we can only hope so he gets out of Richmond. Gee… maybe he can flip flop on Capitol Hill like he did on abusive drive fees. Congressan Flip Flop. It has a ring to it.
I understand Chris’ point, but I believe Scott lives in the 11th. Could be mistaken, though. Maybe he and Connaughton could do a trade and make Chairman Sean’s Cult of Personality happy, too.
Congressman Lingamfelter is a big fat farce.
He accepted Gill campaign money.
He sold us out on NVTA….$400 million tax bill and PWC gets back pennies on the dollar so he can buy support and votes outside of Prince William in future elections.
His head so full of hot air, that he has already pledged his support to pubic-head Marty who intends to run for Delegate in the 31st after Lingamfelter vacates.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave right now.
James,
I think back when the higher ups were talking about Lingamfelter possibly running for Cichester’s old seat in the Senate I heard second hand that he has a home in the heart of Chichesters old seat which would also be the first I think. Take is for what its worth.
I have seen his bio before and I think he would make a very good choice for Congress if he were interested (military experience fits very good in the 1st), but I think everyone is hoping Jo Ann Davis still can make a comeback. She seems to be a fighter.
Ari, you really seem like you have an axe to grind with the guy over the Gill stuff. People support candidates you or I really don’t like all the time. I myself am not a huge fan of the compromise but without it all the counties would have more of the same gridlock without any new roads getting screwed by the governor again. Just my two cents.
I’d support Scott for virtually anything for which he would run, Anon 10:27.. He’s a great American, and great guy, and a loyal friend.
“Pubic-head Marty”!?!?! I don’t have much use for the guy, but it strikes me as rather funny that the same people who support Marty are the same people who attack principled Conservatives as inflexible ideologues. Yet Scott is a guy attacked as the latter who is doing the former.
Maybe these so-called “moderates” just like to attack Conservatives.
Scott sold “us” the conservative base out, and jumped onto the moderate platform with Dave Albo and Mary Nohe.
This is about trust. If he is in Congress, how do we know he’ll stand behind the Conservate base against the North American Union?
I don’t want to wake up one morning and learn the US, Mexico and Canada are one big happy family. I can count on Tancredo and Goode, can I count on Lingamfelter?
oops ….Marty.
Ari, guys like you are killing me. I totally understnad where your coming from, but we have to inject some realism and Lingamfelter realized that something had to be done, just like many others. He would make an outstanding conservative congressman.
Chris,
Jeff Frederick would be an “outstanding” conservative congressman.
That’s a man you can trust. He doesn’t pander to voters, and he won’t compromise his values out of fear that he may lose.
Congress is a very powerful body of government, we should elect only the best, and never, ever settle for anything less.
Jeff Frederick, who I like, also bolted on the most important vote of the session. He would be great, but he avoided his responsibility when the pressure was on.
Chris - Jeff didn’t “bolt”, and there wasn’t just one vote on HB 3202. 3 votes. He’s listed as voting no each time. Why would he skip a vote when he was clearly already on the record, and continued to put himself on the record.
See: Vote 1: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?071+vot+HV0892+HB3202; Vote 2: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?071+vot+HV1661+HB3202; Vote 3: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?071+vot+HV1767+HB3202.
Looks to me like Jeff took the votes and is on the record.
Jeff Frederick would be preferable to Scott Lingamfelter.
Lingamfelter labeled as a conservative is a JOKE !!!! He spends spends and spends. I have already recieved two multi color flyers from him and if he thinks he can buy votes with this waste of money he if WRONG. He isn’t smart enough to realize that Bonds have to be paid back first out of taxes and with no surplus this year and none again next year it means that programs will be cut or our taxes will go up. He is a liberal as it comes for he along with Frederick, Sewart, Stirrup and May for thinking that someone else is going to pay for your cost of building roads not each individual. Proffers are a 30 year failure and will continue to be so. Lingmafelter and Frederick would rather that the builder get the tax deduction for Proffers then the home owner. The Federal governement could be paying for 15 to 25% of all our capital improvments as a refund on the individual income taxes in PWC if the politicians were honest enought to call Proffers just what they are and that is a Capital Improvment Tax and let it be paid at 4% interest over 30 years. This would be applied to every structure that is build or had a major increase is size. The con men are at work in PWC politics and the public who is gullible enough to believe the same on lies year after year deserve every second they sit in traffic.
Sounds like a democrat is very upset about the Republican successes. Proffers are an absolutely great idea, especially in PWC.
Its very clear , Frederick missed, skipped, walked out, or whatever you want to call it on the transportation bill. He may have a great excuse but he did NOT vote on the first bill. I have heard all kinds or stories but a key missed for is a missed vote nontheless. Yes its very easy to say how you would have voted after the bill was passed.

Nice quote (anon at 8:59 a.m.) above, Jeff.
Only problem with Scott Lingamfalter is that he endorses an undeserving and untrustworthy candidate. For that, there is no excusing….
Chris,
Do you really think Lingamfelter will win the votes of Republicans on the peninsula and middle peninsula if Melanie Rapp is running, and who would likely get the endorsement of Jo Ann? Doubt it.
asmith,
I don’t think Rapp has the overall resume at all for any congressional district regardless of were she lives. There are plenty of other potential candidates that have the resume but Rapp is definitely not one of them. She is too much of a policy lightweight in a very pro-military district.
I think Lingamfelter or another candidate with significant military or foreign policy experience could beat Rapp with ease.
I would be shocked if Rapp even entered the race. I think the other potential candidates could be someone like Tommy Normant or even Chichester or Jost could even make another run at it????
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. John Stirrup has kept his nose clean on no new taxes. He voted alone on the BOCS against HB 3202.
Lingamfelter had his chance, and he blew it. Next …..

If Proffers are so great then why are you still sitting in traffic? You do not even know why they came about and there is no way that 20% of the new buildings will pay for 100% of the cost of their impact. Proffers are a complete failure and the public is the one who is getting the shaft from the time they buy a house to the hours spent sitting in traffic. If something does not work after 30 years then you make a change and get something better. I wonder how you will fell when that 16.00 state inspection this year cost you 36.00 after January first. You will not get to deduct that on your tax return but then maybe you do not want the Federal Government to pay for your roads. You just want to pay them out of your own pocket…
