The “Virginia-born” stuff is from the opencarry.org press release. You see, in this day and age someone can post something written by another party onto their website. That doesn’t make it their words, particularly when they preface the press release with statements like “I’m not quite sure what to think of this …”

I do agree with you that crap like that is stupid, but everybody does it when it’s to their advantage.

Please DIGG, REDDIT, and re-post this column to you friends, family, and blogs. Moran’s our man! Vote strategic for Moran on Tuesday, June 9th!

Let’s start with Terry McAuliffe. As an avid believer in gun control, a McAuliffe governorship would be a “nuclear winter” for gun rights in Virginia, making Governor Time Kaine appear centrist and rational in comparison. In a blogger conference call in January, McAuliffe promised that if elected, he would revise or eliminate the Dillon Rule which prevents local authorities from imposing a patchwork of local controls making the lawful exercise of a citizens rights impossible as one travels across the Commonwealth. I could continue and write an entire article about McAuliffe’s gun control plans but it is sufficient to say that he is the worst case scenario of all candidates in any party and leave it at that.

The next candidate is Senator Creigh Deeds. Deeds, who was supported by gun owners in his previous candidacy, is the Judas Iscarot of this race. Having achieved his current position on the backs of gun owners, he has suddenly turned hard left in his quest for the support of the gun-control wing of his party and abandoned gun owners who once looked to his future as synonymous with that of former Governor Mark Warner whose consistently pro-gun positions allowed him to easily move from the Governor’s mansion to the U.S. Senate.

And by the way folks, elections are games - game theory applies.

Let’s get into the game to win!

Typical Republican pap. Like calling him McAwful. I am amazed none of you budding Shakespeare’s could come up with Dirty Deeds (done dirt cheap).

All the RPV favorites are native born Virginians - right? Like George Allen. Born in California. Began college at UCLA then moved to VA when his Dad got job coaching the Washington Redskins. Bill Bolling. Born in West Virginia. Ken Cuccinelli. Born in New Jersey.

And Virginia would never vote for a carpetbagger - right? Like some guy who was born in Minnesota, went to high school in Kansas City, then college at Missouri, then law school in Mass, then moved to VA at age 25? That would never happen. Oh yeah - that’s Tim Kaine.

I have lived here all my life. This carpetbagger nonsense has to stop. It makes people from Virginia look stupid when they call a man who has lived in the state for 17 years a carpetbagger.

John Light is right. It’s time to get back to the issues. Like when Bob McDowner really stands on transportation. Sorry - I just couldn’t resist this one time.

Be true to your Party, be true to your convictions. This is not a game, people, this is an election that will affect people’s lives and livelihood. Ok, the guy is endorsed by OpenCarry, but what about his stance on taxes, health care, illegals??? To support a candidate based solely on one issue is, well, inviting the govt we have today.

“Moran Scores an Usual Endorsement

The folks at OpenCarry.org, a gun rights group, have done something we never would have expected: They endorsed Brian Moran in the Democratic primary for governor. . . .”

Cross party candidate comparisons are notoriously hard to make when one party is engaged in a multi-candidate primary - the polls go haywire as many people answering the poll exhibit “survey bias” and refuse to support the other candidates against their pututive opponent in the fall election as such a response “ehlps” their candidate.

So folks have potentially 2 chances to vote against mcAuliffe - June 9, and maybe next fall. Lets everybody rise to the occasion and vote againt McAuliffe on June 9th -

“Anybody but McAuliffe” is right. So “damn the usual party affiliation, full speed ahead!”

But as a Republican, I could not more vote for any of these guys than vote, well, for Barak Hussein Obama or as I like to call him “O-bah-bah”.

I hope that Republicans will NOT fall for the cross over bait. We need to focus our activity on our team and frankly, if Terry “McAwful” (as some on other blogs like to call him) wins, I predict that you will see “Democrats for McDonnell” actually happen. Really.
