Already used to it. Don’t like it but there it is. And don’t look now, but with the migration patterns of other states on the East Coast… Virginia is changing and not for the better. Sad to say, VA is becoming Kalifornia where anything goes. I saw it in the minority, white people bad-black people good cesspool that is Hampton Roads. Take a trip down to that part of the state and see how bad racial driven politics has become there. Being in the minority was a part of my daily life as not only a white person, but having a black kid (who I caught red-handed) tearing down my McCain sign in my front yard on which he was trespassing was enough to tell me how screwed up VA has become.

Quote: A Conservative Party will never have power and money like the Republicans. The departure of the conservatives only fragments the Republican base. The moderates (or independents), whether you like it or not, are the swing vote in Virginia. They are not going to run to the extreme right, but they have turned to the Republicans when they feel things are too liberal, like in 2001. But they aren’t buying the conservative line. The ONLY chance conservatives have is to work within the Republican Party.

Don’t look now but it’s already happening. I USED to be a Republican. My NY voter card may still have my Republican affiliation on it but I’ve long since left the party because of the RINO shenanigans that control it. The Republicans and the Dems are the same. They both want to either a) take our rights away b) spend until there’s no tomorrow c) let corruption reign or d) all of the above. Sometimes, no matter how well-intentioned, directing one’s energies at a certain group of voters at the peril of those whose votes you cannot take for granted (conservatives) will cost you. And it cost McCain big. I know of a couple people who stayed home (I didn’t support that choice) because McCain was simply TOO unpalatable. It was basically Dem Lite vs. full blown Socialist/Statist.

I love how you say that I simply cannot work with anybody else but the Repubs who’ve caved on all sorts of issues, great and small. It never ceases to amaze how people blame conservatives for what is really ailing the Repubs— their lack of direction, incompetence, communication, and goals. Then again, the Dems have bungled even worse. Two parties that really have no clue. Yay for all of us !!! I can see where Glenn Beck has so little respect for the two political parties. They play games, point accusing fingers at one another, and expect their collective bases to pick up the pieces.

Nope, this conservative, former Republican turned independent won’t play. I won’t be my mother or father who hail themselves as Reagan conservatives, while decrying the greedy corporations and saying that social security and our entitlement, welfare system are just awesome. And they’re died in the wool Republicans. You won’t lose those people because, while they’re hard workin’ people, my parents (in NY) don’t look beneath all the layers of BS. People like me have left because we’re tired of the BS.

So, if the Repubs go the way of the Whigs don’t blame the conservatives. People too caught up in their greed, hubris, ego, and complacency can’t be trusted and neither can their party infrastructure. Let something better develop that competes with BOTH of the political parties maybe then we’ll actually have something to preserve, protect, and defend.

Proofing is my friend it really is..

Hmmm… just caught this blog, and, as a former military spouse who resided in the Hampton Roads areas up until about 6 months ago (and I will never come back until the personal property tax is HISTORY), I thought I’d chime in. Greg, what you’re doing is a great act of civic involvement and I hope that many more civic bloggers do the same thing where I currently live (Colorado Springs, CO).

Now to this doozy of a comment: as a current, absentee voter in the hellish state of NY, I respectfully disagree. I have no kind regards for the Whitmans or McShames of the world. Your attitude is why I left the Republican party. I’m not just sick of people who say they’re “conservative,” or “fiscally conservative” (yeah, you Scott Brown) but I’m sick of the Republicans who use such a claim to convince deluded Republicans that they won’t be more of the same or they can stave off socialism in this country.

Nope, this attitude and the failure that is John McShame is why I became an independent. I’m tired of the deal-making, the lying, the perpetual office-holding when they should have long since retired (yeah you McShame). As you can see, I have no kind regards for him (and I held my nose and voted for him) or people who put up with him because he’s a “conservative” when really he’s a RINO better at crossing the aisle to make deals with Dems (shamnesty) than sticking up for this country, the Constitution (when he feels like it), or what’s right.

I’m a conservative first and the Republicans will have to earn my vote the hard way by putting honest brokers or representation up for consideration. No more Dem/Socialist/Statist lite. I know people are human, but I also know when I’ve been had and it’s way past time to boot McShame out of office. My God, he’s ancient, and is gathering dust when this country needs people who WILL work to fight Obummer.

So, I’m sorry but I’m not playing. While I like McDonnell, it’s deplorable that he’s campaigning for this idiot. McCain ran a half-a$$ed campaign that many will never forgive him for while failing to fight for the presidency or even say no to the bailout. For McDonnell to do this shows him to be more of a politician and less of a leader. Then again, McDonnell accepted McShame’s cache when he ran for governor.

Face it, VA is much like NY…. good ole boy politicians of both parties running things into the ground and playing with other people’s money. The Dems know how to use illegals and minorities of both states so well that neither population gives a hoot as long as they get theirs. VA is no longer the conservative bastion it once was and I should know, I’m from a hellhole like NY that is submerged in corruption right now.

I want people of character, integrity, and honor to stand up for this country (maybe some veterans running to increase retired military member representation would be a start) and not the sort like McCain who have become such a part of Washington that we must be sympathetic to him and hear him out. His recent electoral result proves what a charlatan, illegal appeaser, dirty dealer of a RINO he actually is. Please, if you call yourself a conservative it’s time to stop defending this guy.

He’s not worth it. It’s time to move on. Hayworth is no dream either but I’ll take him over McCain. Oh, and I’ve found my new home outside the Republican fold as an independent. And I’m okay with it.

This is why we need to be careful about cutting social services, even in times of great budgetary stress.

WRONG !!!!!

You’ve already PROVEN, with your OWN words, you’re no longer CAPABLE of thinking !!!

You couldn’t even handle CORRECTLY spelling my FIVE LETTER
name !!!

Your LIFE is a TYPO !!!!

You’ve been reduced to MORONIC PSYCHO-BABBLE !!!!!

Case in point:

Looks like you FINALLY took my advice and are now looking at YOURSELF in the mirror, Dan !!!

GOOD boy !!!

For the record, what you’re experiencing is just another symptom of your Left Wing Liberal NUT BAG MENTAL DISORDER !!!

Trying to ascribe YOUR many failures, in life, to ME !!!

What’s the matter ???

Having trouble with your NAMBLA application ????

Try not to DROOL all over your KEYBOARD little guy !!!!

Not only are you responding like a blithering idiot again on this thread, but now you are mining old threads for things you can foam at the mouth over.

You seem to be obsessed.

Perhaps you should leave your “cyber lair” in your parents’ basement and go outside and breath some fresh air. There is a whole world out there. You could try a completely new experience like dating a girl. I’m sure there are plenty of nice girls at the middle school you attend who would go out with you.

Here’s a friendly tip. If you do finally get a date with a girl, don’t talk politics. Not if you want a second date anyway.

Once again, the MINDLESS MORON pats himself on the back for NOTHING !!!

Hey HALF-WIT, you wanna see a MIND NUMBING series of ENDLESS DRIVEL ???

Take a look at YOURSELF (one of the symptoms of your MENTAL DISORDER is the FACT that you only FIND FAULT with what everyone else does and are TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS to what YOU do) on the “Are You Kidding Me?” thread !!!

FIVE of the FIRST NINE posts are you going ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON about WHO knows WHAT !!!

Guess what Dan, nobody CARES what you have to say !!!!

You’re a LEFT WING LIBERAL NUT JOB with a MENTAL DISORDER whose ONLY PURPOSE on this blog is to DISRUPT the DISCUSSION !!!!!!

As far as anger management goes, once again, TAKE a GOOD look at YOURSELF !!!

YOU’RE the ONLY ONE who is so TOTALLY FREAKED OUT about my “caps and punctuation” you can’t stop THINKING about it (once again, I do it now just to DRIVE you CRAZY !!!)!!!

Well, except for your little BOYfriend, BOY Scout !!!

Like I said, if YOU don’t get help from a doctor VERY soon, you two may be the next John Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo !!!!

Now WHY don’t you take your little BOY Scout and run off to join NAMBLA where you can spend LOTS of time with the REST of your Liberal FREAKS, flushing BABIES down TOILETS ???

FIRST TWO posts from the “Are You Kidding Me?” thread:

Dan said on 25 Feb 2010 at 12:37 pm:

I saw the post at Mason Conservative. I made the following comment over there:

“When asked for comment on the allegation made by Mason Conservative that the Herrity campaign was tone deaf, a spokesperson for the Fimian campaign said, “HUH?”

If ever a campaign had no business accusing anyone else of being tone deaf it is the Fimian campaign.

Geez! You are stretching just a bit don’t you think? Maybe you should stick with the Tom Davis as puppet master stuff. Or charging that the Herrity campaign was caught flat footed and unprepared because they had the good sense not to respond to the bizarre behavior of the Fimian campaign on the day of Herrity’s announcement.

Don’t get me wrong. I am rooting for you. As a Democrat I would like to see Fimian get the nomination. That’s why it is so painful to see such a stream of silliness coming from Fimian supporters.”

Dan said on 25 Feb 2010 at 12:53 pm:

I realize Fimian fans will completely disagree with me about who will be the stronger candidate in the general election. They may be correct and I may be wrong about that. What is hard for any objective observer to ignore is the stumble bum quality of the 2010 Fimian crew. If he doesn’t start getting better advice and running a better campaign he won’t have to worry about decorating a Congressional office any time soon.

Getting back to the point of the post. If holding a kickoff event at the Springfield Country Club is such an egregious error (and I certainly don’t think it is), then where were the posts about the recent meeting of the RNC in Hawaii? They spent pretty lavishly on that one. Oh, wait! Can’t criticize the home team.

But if an opponent is involved then we must pretend every molehill is a mountain. And it is a stretch to even see a molehill in Herrity’s choice of a venue for his kickoff.

If you guys want Fimian to be your nominee you might spend more time giving people an affirmative reason to vote for him and less time on this ridiculous stuff. Much more of it and you run a serious risk of making Fimian look ridiculous. And that wouldn’t be fair to him.

Although it is his campaign and his messaging. Maybe he should get hold of it or risk showing himself to be lacking the ability that the job requires.

Talk about MIND NUMBING DRIVEL in the form of ENDLESS RANTING and RAVING !!!!

You don’t even give anyone a chance to RESPOND, you RESPOND to YOURSELF !!!!!

It takes virtually nothing to get under your skin and set you off on an endless series of rants.

Are you always this easy?

You must be an only child to not have developed any thickness to your skin whatsoever.

You might also want to consider some anger management classes.

At least take a deep breath before you hyperventilate.

BELIEVE me Dan, having a WHACKED OUT LIBERAL NUT JOB like YOU, with a MENTAL DISORDER, thinking I’m drunk doesn’t bother me a single, solitary bit because I know for a FACT that YOU, as proven with your OWN words… (Dan said on 5 Mar 2010 at 9:48 pm: “If they have a drill bit of sufficient strength to get through that thick skull of yours and reach what passes for a brain.”)…are TOTALLY INSANE !!!

You need to have a DOCTOR look at YOUR comments !!!!

Seriously, do YOU think those are the thoughts of a SANE person ???

If you DO, then you’ll be the only on in the ASYLUM running around saying, (as you point your crooked little finger at your fellow inmates) “I’m not the one who’s CRAZY, THEY are !!!”

I HONESTLY thought that was YOU at Pentagon Station the other day, committing SUICIDE by COP !!!

TRUST me, if you DON’T get help, it WILL be !!!!

BTW, I HOPE my CAPITALIZATION and PUNCTUATION is driving you even MORE nuts, if THAT’S at all possible, it REALLY makes my day !!!!

Seriously, GET HELP !!!!!

You NEED it !!!

If they have a drill bit of sufficient strength to get through that thick skull of yours and reach what passes for a brain.

Do yourself a favor. Find an adult you trust. Hell, just grab the first adult walking by. Ask them to read all the comments on this thread. Then ask them to guess how old they think the commenter named Kevin C is.

That might bring you into contact with reality.

At least have a friend read your comments before you hit the send button. And if they tell you not to hit the send button, listen to them. It will save you from humiliating yourself so much in the future.

Dan said on 5 Mar 2010 at 10:46 am: “NoVA Scout, it is no shame to be held back at Montessori.”

Dan said on 2 Mar 2010 at 8:22 am: “NoVA Scout, your comment about how different the world might have been if McCain had been elected in 2000 really strikes a chord with me.”

Dan said on 4 Mar 2010 at 11:22 am: “You made an ad hominem attack on NoVA Scout…”

Now I understand why you’re so DEFENSIVE toward NoVA Scout !!

Must be LOVE ??!!??!!

You think YOU TWO could stop GUSHING over each other ???

There MUST be a blog out there somewhere for GAY LIBERALS ????

Dan: “Oh NoVA Scout, you REALLY strike a chord with me (heart POUNDING, eyes all a’TWITTER) !!!

NoVA Scout: “Oh Dan, YOU’RE my HERO !!!”

I’m not sure I understand the connection you make between having a conservative political philosophy and overusing capitalization and punctuation. For instance, I have read several of William F. Buckley’s books and many of his essays and I don’t recall him using these devices to better express himself. He was always able to communicate with great precision without typing like an eight year old.

Oh well, my Montessori School class is about to start. I need to pay attention. They held me back last year. First time that had ever happened in Montessori.

Speaking of “orderly thought,” in YOUR world, do adults know how to SPELL ????

*** *** *** ***

Dan said on 4 Mar 2010 at 10:24 pm: “They seldom feel the need to type in all caps…”

YOU said it, NOT me !!!

The NEED arises when “communicating” with HALF-WITS !!!!

You know, LIBERALS !!!!

Hence my comment about the irony of you communicating in such a childish fashion while questioning if someone else is an adult.

And this observation is based on what, your time in the CORNER ???

I merely wondered what it was that causes some to believe that a point is strengthened by typing it in capital letters and following it with multiple exclamation points.

I also find it ironic that all the typing in caps and excessive punctuation should be employed in a post questioning whether someone else was an adult. Since this manner of expression is usually employed by children. Seldom by adults.
