Bad Call, Governor
26 February 2010 | National Politics, Virginia Politics, US Senate | 66 Comments
This is a big disappointment. I could understand Governor McDonnell keeping mum about the Arizona senate race, but I can’t understand Bob McDonnell endorsing for re-election that tremendous and consistent disappointment to conservatives called John McCain.
10th CD Chairman Videos
26 February 2010 | RPV, US Congress | 3 Comments
I imagine there aren’t a whole lot of people who have had the chance to see both candidates for 10th Congressional District Chairman. Now that Dave Schmidt has a video up on his website, readers have an opportunity to get to know both of them a little bit. This is the first time I’ve seen […]

Ken Cuccinelli Keynote Address
23 February 2010 | PWCRC, Virginia Politics | 5 Comments
Here’s the video of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli at the PWCRC Lincoln-Reagan Dinner last week. Seeing how clearly and convincingly he makes his arguments, it’s not hard to understand why liberals get so incredibly upset with him. Ken is a real threat to the liberal agenda, making him one […]

Howie Lind For 10th CD Chairman
19 February 2010 | RPV, Virginia Politics | 4 Comments
I was able to make it to a meeting of the Leisure World Republican Club in Loudoun County this week and shot this footage of Howie Lind’s remarks. Howie has a great vision for the 10th Congressional District Committee and would make a great chairman. I hope BVBL readers […]

A City Attorney’s Intellectual Seppuku
17 February 2010 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics, Manassas City | 22 Comments
Manassas City Deputy Attorney Martin Crim demonstrates his utter lack of competence in a letter to the editor published in the Manassas News & Messenger today, making many folks wonder whether the City of Manassas deliberately hires fools, or only does so inadvertently. In a rant attacking the legal prowess of Delegate Bob Marshall and […]

Bob Marshall On Fox News
14 February 2010 | National Politics, 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 42 Comments
Nice to see delegate Bob Marshall get some national coverage on HB 10 on Fox News the other day. If Bob manages to inspire some other states to follow suit on this, the idea that the federal government can compel you to buy health insurance under penalty of fines and […]

McDonnell Reverses Kaine School Funding Grab
8 February 2010 | Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 15 Comments
Delegate Jackson Miller was clearly happy to announce that Governor McDonnell undid the freeze in the LCI funding formula today, ensuring that schools in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park won’t get unfairly punished in the next biennial budget. Although this doesn’t make budget discussions any easier this year as the decision increases costs […]

Eric Cantor: Balancing Good And Evil
1 February 2010 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics, US Congress | 2 Comments
Representative Eric Cantor is sending out the usual appeals for campaign contributions, prompting a few folks to poke around to determine whether he’s truly worthy of their support rather than the numerous other candidates and organizations that are begging for their hard-earned dollars. When they come across statements like this one, nothing is going to […]

Kaine’s Parting Gift To Gays Denied
1 February 2010 | Virginia Politics | 4 Comments
The final effort by the Kaine Administration to enact special, taxpayer-subsidized protections for “domestic partners” is now dead. Ken Cuccinelli reports in the latest issue of “The Cuccinelli Compass” that this below-the-radar effort by DNC Chairman and part-time Governor Kaine to extend employee health benefits to the homosexual partners of state employees has been pulled […]

Say What?
27 January 2010 | Virginia Politics | 15 Comments
After having Tim Kaine work part-time as Virginia Governor while he served as head of the Democratic National Committee, quotes like this just prompt riotous outbursts of laughter:
But in the middle of his second week in office, Republican Robert F. McDonnell is taking some time away from his duties in Richmond to deliver the response […]
Jim Rich Bows Out!
25 January 2010 | RPV | 8 Comments
Apparently sensing that running for re-election would be a lost cause, 10th Congressional District Chairman Jim Rich has decided not to run for re-election. Congratulations to Howie Lind for already improving the quality and performance of the 10th District just by announcing his candidacy!
Who do you support for 10th CD Chairman?
Jim Rich

Ken Cuccinelli Endorses Howie Lind
24 January 2010 | RPV, Virginia Politics | 17 Comments
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced his endorsement of Howie Lind for 10th District Chairman this weekend in a rare departure from the typical non-involvement of statewide elected officials in the selection of congressional district chairmen. For Ken to do this you have to imagine that there are substantial issues with Jim Rich’s leadership as it […]

At the end of Delegate Scott Lingamfelter’s remarks he announced that he would be drafting a letter to be signed by members of the Virginia legislature and delivered to our federal representatives, encouraging that delivery to be made by a march on Washington. Now that’s a fascinating idea! It […]

Howie Lind Rides To The Rescue!
17 January 2010 | RPV | 17 Comments
The Tenth Congressional District is rumored to have a call issued for a convention at which time a District Chairman will be elected pursuant to the requirements of the Party Plan. Also rumored, because once again under the leadership of Jim Rich the call cannot actually be found anywhere, the filing deadline for candidates for […]

Capitol Square this time of year is always an interesting place, and this year it promises to be a lot more interesting than usual with the descent of thousands of “Tea Party” enthusiasts showing up for a rally on Monday and the usual “lobby day” in the General Assembly Building.

Plum Vows to Keep Open Mind on Charters
14 January 2010 | Virginia Politics | 3 Comments
Guest Post by Sanford D. Horn
I am pleased to learn that Delegate Ken Plum (D-36) is at least willing to keep an open mind on the issue of charter schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He correctly pointed out that there are but three such institutions at work in Virginia, each located south of Richmond […]

Illegal Alien Lobby Day In Richmond
14 January 2010 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 11 Comments
Pro-illegal alien groups had a press conference today in Richmond urging passage at the federal level of an outrageous bill to grant amnesty to illegal aliens in exchange for a $500 fine. Delusion doesn’t even begin to describe the insanity inherent in this ridiculous proposal, which couldn’t come at a worse time for us. When […]

Tea Party Preps For Richmond
2 January 2010 | Virginia Politics, Prince William County | 3 Comments
The Prince William County Tea Party is earning a little press in today’s News & Messenger with the announcement of a seminar to be held on January 9th at Chinn Library. If the Tea Party is training up plenty of volunteers to go and lobby the General Assembly, the traditional “lobby day” in Richmond on […]
