Have you heard the NEWEST Irish prayer/toast?

“Here’s hoping Colgan Air doesn’t FLY OVER YOUR HOUSE!”

Word on the street is, they might put his face on the THREE DOLLAR BILL!

Politicians had better start working for the Citizens of this Nation instead of putting self first, Lobbyist second, and party third! That means talking the talk and walking the walk not saying or promising everything during the election and going everything else after they get elected. That means working for the vast majority of Citizens not fringe groups, special interest, or illegal aliens & Citizens of other countries put Citizens and the future of this Nation first and foremost always!

Lots of wide bodies bending over to shake hands and putting their bountiful backsides into people's faces. One greeting I overheard, "Why it's been so long since I've seen you I been through two weaves." Lots of polyester sans-a-belts on the old guys with Depends bulges showing through. Cell phones going off as the candidates tried to speak. The best thing there was Camera Lady. A blond 20 something with legs to die for and a smile that reminded me of Mozart chamber music in three quarter time. And then there were two goons with black t-shirst on and orange lettering looking like about as comfortable as my Doberman passing a peach pit. The starkest difference I noticed between this affair and any Republican event I've been to was the lack of starting the meeting with the Pledge of Alliegence. Nope, no patriotism whatsoever, just right into the partisan cheerleading. Colgan comparing this election to the Truman/Dewey upset. Right. You were there, weren't you Chuck? When's this guy going to take his ill-gotten gains and move to Nicaragua? All in all in was a pretty sorry assemblage of humanity. John Steinbach was actually the most normal looking person there (next to me, but I was trying to be inconspicuous). The despair was palpable. But then again, the Democrat Party has always been the Party of the Depressed. I made it to the Democrat soiree last night at City Grille.

Just like McCain was a lousy candidate last November. However, I think it's a tremendous stretch to impugn the character of Creigh Deeds (or John McCain) based on their weakness in running a campaign. The quotes in this article convince me that Bob McDonnell is a better public speaker than Creigh Deeds. The quotes suggest to me that Bob McDonnell is smarter than Creigh Deeds. However, they do not (in any way) prove anything about either candidate's character. The only character called into question is that of the article's author who is trying to use a single, point in time quote to make a lifetime character assessment. I thought this type of inappropriate behavior was restricted to those suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome. You know, the liberals who would take a single word or phrase uttered by President Bush and declare that the word or phrase proved the president to be stupid, lazy, dishonest, incompetent ... well ... lacking in character. C'Mon Greg L - you need to be better than this. This November is interesting. Next November is critical. Put a muzzle on the character talk. Focus on the candidates and the issues. Because I could live with Deeds as Governor but I can't live with Gerry Connolly as one of our US Representatives. Save your vitriol for that race. For the record - barring a Mecaca incident - I will be voting for Mr. McDonnell this Tuesday. This is the first election in a long, long time where I will probably vote all Republican. I say probably because I am still considering the AG race. Deeds is a lousy candidate. Just like McCain was a lousy candidate last November.
