		<description>Senator Colgan did not hire anyone from New York.  His daughter, who lives in New York, came to help her dad on election day.  As far as I know, she always came in the past years to help.  If I were running for office, I am certain that my son and daughter who live out of state would want to be here to help me and celebrate my re-election.</description>

		<description>The  illegal immigration issue in the Prince William area became a problem under the Republican administration.  We had a Republican controlled Congress until 2006.  Republicans control the House of Delegates.  6 our of 8 of our BOCS are Republican.  

WHY would I continue to trust Republicans to fix these problems?  What are they going to do differently that they have not been doing all along?

It seems to me that illegal immigration is just the new hook.  Sorry, not biting today or on Tuesday!</description>

		<description>Line Breaker,

You say you've never voted Republican, but you are this time. Just remember the Republican party is pushing Amnesty for these people. THis is George W, Rudy, John McCain. The republicans know everyone is mad at them right now, for not doing anything about immigration, and starting the War in Iraq. So they have to use smoke and mirrors, and con everyone into thinking Bob Fitzsimmonds is going to show up as a freshman senator and do something about immigration. How come the two times he ran before he didnt say anything about immigration? And how come he was telling people in Braemar last year he is for Amnesty? But you won't find any mention of this on the blog.</description>

		<description>I'm just one vote, and have NEVER voted Republican in the last 35 years, always voting Democratic lines.  ...... But times have changed, and so have the issues important to ME!......  ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AFFECTS ME!  ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AFFECTS US ALL!  Legal Voters need to take the PRECIOUS TIME in their busy schedule to go and VOTE!  Don't sit at home and become COMPLACENT.  PLEASE, voice your opinion at the POLLS.  This is the one way you CAN make a difference.  

If you are tired of the same old rhetoric, tired of the do-nothings, then put your sentiment into action.  

GO AND VOTE!  

ps:  Illegal Aliens who try to vote will be committing a FEDERAL OFFENSE, which is another form of stealing the AMERICAN DREAM which they don't deserve.  We seriously protect our precious right to vote for AMERICAN CITIZENS!

		<description>Except slaves...except women. Wow. Lots of exceptions. But I won't get too upset since you are talking about "facism," instead of fascism, so I assume it must have something to do with faces and not the political system.</description>

		<description>The Greeks did not promote facist group advocacy along ethnic group lines.  They promoted individual rights to vote. (I think at one point even Greek slaves were given certain voting rights, though I don't believe women at that time ever voted for reasons given by the politicians of that time). They did not advocate diversity or multiculturalsim, they advocated political unity, harmony among individuals and ignorance of what race or ethnic group you belonged to.  They advocated for a single unified and harmoneous GREEK culture composed of many individuals from a variety of nation and city states.  The MAJORITY ruled, not the special interest facist ethnic groups or totalitarian criminal element groups.

Not understanding the difference between Democracy and Facism is what is screwing up the Democrat's special interest group, diversity and multi-culturalism philosophy, and is why they don't understand how they are destroying their own Nation by advocating lawlessness and law breaking.  To the Greeks, upholding the justice and rule of law, was the founding principal of the Senate, and that law was voted on by every individual AS AN INDIVIDUAL, and passed by open debate and majority rule, not by political correctness or special interest supremacy alignment along racial and ethnic lines.

The Greeks would have deported "illegal" immigrants and terrorists too. I think they just killed them (somebody help me by checking greek criminal history) after judged guilty of breaking the existing Greek law.</description>

		<description>Dolph, 

A while back you asked me to check my Greek history when I advocated that the Greek Democracy did not last much more than 100+ years and it like us failed because of corporate greed, arrogance, and too much political diversity aligned along ethnic group lines.  You claimed it lasted much longer than that.

So at our Nation's 222nd year of surviving as a Majority, but by group's aligned along gender, religious, racial, and ethnic group lines causing the Democratic state ruled by a majority to rapidly decline into a facist group state ruled by supremist racial, gender, religious, ethnic group special interest advocates. 

Here is the history lesson.

Greek civilization yes, greater than 100+ years. Greek Democracy no. The number is at most 150 some years. I will find you the exact number and post it.

Michael said on 1 Nov 2007 at 6:28 pm: 
Dolph, 

Technically Greek Democracy began in 508 BC with the Athenian Consitition. Democracy which included the poor started in 460 BC. It ended in 322 BC when Macedon terminated it.

That is 138 years of true Democracy (except Greek slaves), and 216 years of Constitutional Democracy. Go read your history book. We keep this facist focus on group advocacy priviliges that create supremist groups aligned along gender, religious, racial and ethnic lines and our Democracy won’t last much longer than that.

We should all heed it, Macedon was a totalitarian state, rife with special ethnic group priviliges, diversity, multiculturalism, and hatred toward all others not like themselves.</description>

		<description>I think what is really telling in this issue that you should ALL understand it that I am a Democrat who is going to vote Republican. My number one reason for doing this is my concern that group political advocacy by gender, religious, racial, and ethnic groups is leading us to a facist state of political turmoil focused on group priviliges and supremacy, taking rights away from individuals and undermining Democracy.  I want a leader who is going to throw out the radical right and throw out the radical left.  The radical left seems more dangerous to me right now because they advocate breaking the law.  A nation which refuses to obey its own laws is a nation of  deceit, supremist group privilege, chaos, devisivenes, and conflict.</description>

		<description>I would not vote for George W. either at this point. He sold out the Republican middle for extreme right religious group advocacy positions.  That is why he has made so many political and strategic mistakes that cannot be currently solved with religious group advocacy issues.  He started out OK but got progressively worse the more we learned about his true political nature, the arrogance and deceit of his staff and the national positions he advocated without staying in sync with the American public.

What really riles me at the moment is the position he is taking with "illegal" immigrants and not standing up to the insults of the current International leadership about our country's sovereignty.</description>

I keep repeating what Colgan said because people need to know exactly what he said.  Colgan SAID that those gentlemen at 7-11 are legal.  He thinks all of them are legal.  He also voted against the question on the DMV form that asks if you are a US citizen.  It is a simple yes/no question and Colgan said that was too confusing.  It is probably too confusing for him.  Also, if a yes or no question is too confusing for someone, do you think they should be getting a driver's license?  Maybe Mr. Colgan needs to turn in his driver's license.

Come on Good Ol' Boy Chuck Colgan network, you can do better than that.  Where are you Billy Boy?  That Good Ol' Boy network is getting pretty stale.  You're reaching if you have to bring George W. into it.

Bob Fitzsimmonds CRUSHED Chuck Colgan in the debates.  I'm still hoping Greg will post it.

Bob Fitzsimmonds will do something about illegal aliens, while Chuck Colgan is still trying to find Stonewall Middle.  I guess that's the excuse you'll give for Mr. Colgan since he didn't show up for the candidates forum.  Maybe Mr. Colgan was too busy conversing with his "legal" buddies over at the 7-11.  Maybe he was too busy telling them how he wants to raise the gas tax while congratulating them on car pooling to their jobs.

Colgan must think our neighborhood is not good enough for him because he hasn't shown his face here.  Although, he has his staff putting up his signs at vacant houses that are up for sale (se habla espanol).
 
I'm voting for Bob.

Yes, Bob Fitzsimmonds CRUSHED Chuck Colgan at the debate.</description>

<p>Come on Good Ol&#8217; Boy Chuck Colgan network, you can do better than that.  Where are you Billy Boy?  That Good Ol&#8217; Boy network is getting pretty stale.  You&#8217;re reaching if you have to bring George W. into it.</p>
<p>Bob Fitzsimmonds CRUSHED Chuck Colgan in the debates.  I&#8217;m still hoping Greg will post it.</p>
<p>Bob Fitzsimmonds will do something about illegal aliens, while Chuck Colgan is still trying to find Stonewall Middle.  I guess that&#8217;s the excuse you&#8217;ll give for Mr. Colgan since he didn&#8217;t show up for the candidates forum.  Maybe Mr. Colgan was too busy conversing with his &#8220;legal&#8221; buddies over at the 7-11.  Maybe he was too busy telling them how he wants to raise the gas tax while congratulating them on car pooling to their jobs.</p>
<p>Colgan must think our neighborhood is not good enough for him because he hasn&#8217;t shown his face here.  Although, he has his staff putting up his signs at vacant houses that are up for sale (se habla espanol).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m voting for Bob.</p>
<p>Yes, Bob Fitzsimmonds CRUSHED Chuck Colgan at the debate.</p>

Toddy Puller is just trying to hike up turnout for Nichols...at least hike it above what Gill himself already does to turn out Dems to the polls in droves.</description>

		<description>Matt, I've gotten 4-page color glossy mailers for Puller that have been paid for by the DPVA in this unopposed contest.</description>

		<description>Greg:

As a clarification; Rishell hired the guy from New Hampshire in late June as a field director; basically right after her nomination was confirmed. He stayed in that role after I was asked to scram. The campaign was run from Richmond over the last month and a half.</description>

		<description>Looks, it is pretty normal to bring in outside help and the fact is both parties do it. 

The PWCDC is about 80% over 50 y/o and a vast majority of those folks won't even hang at polling places on election day and they certainly don't know the first thing about running a campaign.

I know that Frederick imports home schoolers from across the state to put his signs up and man street corners waving at passing cars. 

Most volunteers are good for putting up signs, getting petitions signed, maybe canvassing, but management and field direction is a big no-no for regular volunteers.

As a candidate you take whatever help you can get and I can't begrudge any campaign for doing so.

However, campaigns need to be run by local and well trained talent. The PWCDC does not do this and it sounds like the GOP doesn't do it either. 

DPVA does dictate pretty much everything for local races and it is a "play to get funded" system. Use DPVAs managers, field directors, mail firms, polling firms, etc and they will fund you to pay for their "approved" consultants. It is a pretty nice deal for the consultants and it serves as a way to launder DPVA's money.

At least on the GOP side, from what I can tell, the state party, members, and member PACs fund GOP candidates pretty well without the burdens applied by DPVA. I know that in the 50th last year, Miller was funded by GOP PACs and members right out of the shoot and Rishell played catch up all cycle. 

Which brings up another point. Toddy Puller who is running unopposed for Senate has spent upwards of $80k on mailers sent to PWC residents instead of helping to fund candidates who need a little more cash to get thru the next week. How absurd is that? Do GOP candidates do similar things? I've decided to vote for a write-in candidate as a result.</description>
