1 July 2008 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 18 Comments
Today is the day when new laws passed by the General Assembly go into effect. Through the efforts of Attorney General Bob McDonnell, a broad coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the General Assembly, and immigration law enforcement advocates such as Help Save Hampton Roads, Help Save Manassas, Help Save Loudoun, Save Stafford, the Vienna […]

Is Speaker Howell A Republican?
1 July 2008 | Virginia Politics | 8 Comments
Is Speaker Howell signaling something in his appointments to the Northern Virginia Regional Transportation Commission? It seems to me that the folks who are promoting the awful HB 6055 tax hike plan are getting a reward here. If Speaker Howell was interested in keeping our taxes low and ensuring that our government runs efficiently, he […]

HB 6055: The Sharon Pandak Employment Act
29 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 14 Comments
Courtesy of Right Wing Liberal, here is a short run-down on the monstrosity that is HB 6055. Not only would we be getting a huge tax hike under this ridiculous bill, but the money raised would be used for, among other things, to fund NVTA lobbying efforts in the General Assembly so they can ask […]

Mexican Mafia: “United States Is Stupid”
28 June 2008 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics, Crime | 14 Comments
Lax efforts by state and local law enforcement make it easy for not just illegal aliens, but also illegal aliens with a shocking history of violence to remain in Virginia and laugh at our feeble efforts to control our borders and remove illegal aliens from the United States. Take a recent example, that of Rolando […]

Is Dave Albo The New Russ Potts?
28 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 7 Comments
James Atticus Bowden has a terrific op-ed excoriating HB 6055, which is the Dave Albo initiative to re-brand the Republican Party as the party of higher taxes and wasteful spending. This isn’t the first time that Albo reflexively jumped at the idea of regional tax authorities and higher taxes — in 2006, Albo advocated for […]

Keith Fimian: Tax Hikers “On A Different Planet”
27 June 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Congress | 16 Comments
Speaking of elected officials who can clearly express a solid position, folks might be interested in Keith Fimian’s reaction to Dick Saslaw’s proposal to increase our taxes in order to spend more money on transportation. No mincing of words here, for sure. I’m really liking this guy.

Hey Libs: Give A Poor Wildcat A Home!
27 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 29 Comments
Oh, the poor feral cats! Those poor, nasty, aggressive and thoroughly problematic wild animals that had infested the new location of the Fox affiliate in Richmond. Instead of being lovingly brought in by the Richmond SPCA and offered to unsuspecting victims as adoptive pets, they were bulldozed by a pest control company. Liberals, who probably […]

It’s No Fun Employing An Illegal Alien
26 June 2008 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics, Crime | 36 Comments
In order to roll out Verizon FIOS on-schedule, Verizon hires a bunch of contractors, who then hire their own subcontractors that avail themselves of the cheap illegal alien labor that Verizon has learned it cannot directly employ. Apparently these contractors manage to fulfill their need for cheap labor by swinging by day labor sites, where […]

25 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 21 Comments
Caption from the MJM: Del. Brian J. Moran, D-Alexandria, left, and House Minority Leader Ward L. Armstrong, D-Henry, listen as Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Prince William, presents a bill to the House Finance committee in Richmond, VA, Tuesday, June 24, 2008, on the second day of the special transportation session.

Sharon Pandak Misappropriates Public Resources
24 June 2008 | Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Sharon Pandak thinks you don’t pay enough in taxes, which is no surprise to any of us in Prince William County who have been subject to her bizarre use of pizza as a measure of monetary value when describing her proposed tax increases. Her rantings have become so silly that many of us don’t even […]

Best Rationale Ever For A Special Session
24 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 14 Comments
I think this absolutely sets the tone for the special session of the General Assembly. What better use of a special session called by the Governor in order to address transportation than to take an opportunity to name a few bridges?

Governor “Abuser Fees” Kaine Abandoned By Allies
23 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 1 Comment
“Give Governor Abuser Fees the legacy he deserves: NOTHING” says NLS. Conservatives and liberals apparently both hate Governor Kaine’s proposed billion dollar tax hike that will be debated today in a special session of the General Assembly. Only House Minority Leader Ward Armstrong seems to have publicly announced support for this boondoggle, and Democrats are […]

Your Taxpayer Dollars At Work
22 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 21 Comments
Ken Cuccinelli is always a dependable source for interesting commentary, particularly when it involves the expenditure of public funds on absolutely ridiculous examples of political correctness run amok. Hopefully this humorous retort will be the genesis of an inquiry on why this waste of taxpayer dollars is allowed to continue.

DPVA Goes To War With Their Bloggers
20 June 2008 | DPVA, Blogs | 4 Comments
The rule being applied to bloggers by the Democratic Party of Virginia increasingly appears to be “thou shalt not disagree with us”, in the latest example of how the Democratic Party is anything but democratic. The two blogging powerhouses of the left in Virginia, NLS and Raising Kaine, are being excluded from the Democratic National […]

19 June 2008 | Virginia Politics | 6 Comments
Once again, the General Assembly is going into special session to talk about raising our taxes in order to finance transportation improvements. Before any legislation is passed that increases funding for transportation however, a performance audit needs to be conducted of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to determine how efficient and effective it is […]

DCCC To Throw Money Away On Judy Feder
18 June 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Congress | 6 Comments
Democrat bloggers are all excited that the DCCC has put Judy “Tax Me Now” Feder on the “emerging races program”, which supposedly means that they think Judy has a snowball’s chance of winning and that they intend to funnel some money into the 10th District. The last time the DCCC rated Judy Feder as competitive […]

Mark Warner Displays Incompetence
17 June 2008 | Virginia Politics, US Senate | 17 Comments
Mark Warner decided to weigh in on the illegal alien issue in an interview with the Clarke Times-Courier, demonstrating at best his utter incompetence on this issue. For someone who is expected to have a good grasp on the issues that most concern Virginia voters, Mark Warner absolutely is falling far short of that mark. […]
