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…

Lingamfelter had his chance, and he blew it. Next …..

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????

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.

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.

Looks to me like Jeff took the votes and is on the record.

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.

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?

“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.

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.

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.
