Connolly Finally Blinks
6 March 2010 | Gerry Connolly | 21 Comments
Keith Fimian and RPV kept up a steady barrage of criticism against Gerry Connolly for accepting money from the scandal-ridden Charlie Rangel, forcing Connolly to cast off $9,000 from his campaign fund lest his close association with Rangel become a campaign issue. Once again, Connolly is reacting to Keith Fimian who has been on his […]

I wish I could have been at this, but fortunately O. P. was there to capture some video of Keith Fimian’s official campaign kickoff for those of us who weren’t. I love how Keith continues to hone his message — it certainly gets the crowd all fired up!

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 […]

Are You Kidding Me?
25 February 2010 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 32 Comments
Mason Conservative notes the differing choices Keith Fimian and Pat Herrity made in deciding a venue for their campaign kickoff events, and it kind of makes you wonder what’s up with the Herrity campaign. After Herrity withdrew from the Commonwealth Transportation Board after missing a huge chunk of their meetings, you have to wonder if […]
Keith Fimian Kickoff On Saturday

Keith Fimian is holding a campaign kickoff on Saturday afternoon which is a great opportunity for folks to come out and see the man who is going to take down Gerry “Boss” Connolly in November. If you’re in the 11th District and can make it, I highly recommend attending.

A Wolf Looking Out For The Folks
5 February 2010 | National Politics, US Congress | 7 Comments
Guest Commentary by Sanford D. Horn
In children’s literature, the wolf is portrayed as the ruffian, the evil-doer. He went after grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood, he huffed and puffed in The Three Little Pigs, and of course there’s Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf.
Back in the adult world, I say three cheers for the […]

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 […]

The Post Still Can’t Engineer A Primary Battle
6 January 2010 | Gerry Connolly, Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 14 Comments
Since the Washington Post hasn’t managed to engineer a primary battle in the 11th District yet, it ran yet another story today which basically announces that Pat Herrity has not decided to contest Keith Fimian. This time unnamed “Republican officials” (as opposed to the WashPo’s editorial board) are credited with “pressuring Herrity to announce his […]

Keith Fimian Gets More Endorsements
15 December 2009 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 28 Comments
The bar for someone to challenge Keith Fimian for the nomination to take on Gerry Connolly got a little higher today as Delegates-Elect Rich Anderson and Jim LeMunyon add their endorsements to Keith’s list. These two freshman delegates join Congressman Eric Cantor, PWC Chairman Corey Stewart, Supervisor Mike May and Delegates Bob Marshall and Scott […]

Herrity In The 11th CD Race?
13 December 2009 | Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 3 Comments
UPDATE: NLS says Herrity is in. My sources say Ben is full of crap.
Chris over at Mason Conservative is saying he’s hearing the rumblings of a possible entry by Supervisor Pat Herrity in the 11th Congressional District race. We’ve seen these rumors floated before about this by the Washington Post, which I skeptically attributed to […]

Tea Party Protest Dwarfs Organizing For America
13 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly, National Politics, Fairfax County | 16 Comments
“Organizing For America”, the collective behind President Obama’s perpetual campaign, decided to lend some assistance to the beleagured Congressman Gerry Connolly this afternoon by holding a “thank you rally” in front of his office in Annandale. Four days ago, an email started rallying the Obama troops to come to the defense of Connolly, suggesting a pretty […]

‘Hands Off My Healthcare’ In PWC

With 24 hour’s notice and on a weekday to boot, about 200 people showed up in front of Gerry Connolly’s district office in Prince William County to protest his support of Pelosi-ObamaCare, which is a pretty amazing turnout. Of particular note at this event, one of Connolly’s staffers was taking video […]

Connolly Vote Open Thread
8 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly | 28 Comments
So Gerry Connolly voted for Pelosi-ObamaCare, and a lot of eleventh district residents are pretty upset from the looks of the comment sections in several posts. My question is, what are those of you frustrated by this going to do about it? I assume sitting on the couch isn’t in the plans of many, but so […]

Keith Fimian Savages The HealthCare Bill
7 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly, National Politics, Fairfax County, Prince William County | 32 Comments
Keith Fimian held a press conference in front of Gerry Connolly’s district office today where he delivered a tough critique of the current 2,000 plus page monstrosity of a bill that the House is debating. You’d think Democrats would at least allow consideration of some of the common-sense alternatives that […]

What A Shock: Connolly Likes ObamaCare
7 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly, National Politics | 10 Comments
Not much of a surprise here, but the behavior of Gerry Connolly just seems like the gift that keeps on giving to bloggers.
Connolly has been telling people that he wasn’t sure how he would vote on the monstrosity of the ObamaCare bill and wanted to get more information and see how the bill was amended. […]

Let The Fireworks Begin!
6 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly, Fairfax County, US Congress, Prince William County | 8 Comments
Now this should be interesting. Gerry Connolly has handed Keith Fimian a wagonload of political ammunition for his challenge over the past several days, and I’m betting he’s going to start using it right away. Bully for him!
Keith Fimian will be holding a press conference on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 10 AM to […]

Connolly In The Crosshairs
5 November 2009 | Gerry Connolly, National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 19 Comments
Right after the Democrats get spanked in Virginia and New Jersey, the Congress decides now is the time to bring up a health care bill that specifically includes providing care for illegal aliens, and Pelosi lapdogs like Gerry Connolly are squarely sitting in ground-zero in the fight raging today. Have these people gone absolutely […]

Corey Stewart Delivers An Education On Transportation
2 October 2009 | Gerry Connolly, 51st HOD District, Prince William County | 15 Comments
Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart’s opinion piece in the Bull Run Observer about promoting metro as the solution to our transportation problems, something Congressman Gerry “Cowardly” Connolly and Delegate Paul Nichols have advocated, is getting a lot more attention than a piece in this small (yet quite impressive) publication would usually merit. No one has […]
