A new poll out from SurveyUSA shows McDonnell leading Deeds by 15%. The people used in this sample voted for McCain by 9% last November, but as we know Obama won Virginia by 6%….a 15% swing.

EVERY American needs to watch this!  Put politics aside for 20 minutes, then FIND OUT  if your elected leader wants you on nationalized healthcare or not. Watch this and decide if YOUR senator and congressman is one who is trying to shove this crap down your throat!

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 28th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Stafford

Recently a local right-wing blog mocked the fact that someone as young as Laura Sellers would run for a seat on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors. In response, Garrisionville Supervisor Mark Dudenhefer emailed his fellow Republican, blogger Eric Martin, asking him to not engage in personal attacks. His response to Dudenhefer’s email was: but, […]



What’s Fox “Mad” About Now?

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 28th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

You can’t make this stuff up. Last night my wife and I watched an episode from the second season of Mad Men, probably the best show on television. The show takes place in 1962 at a Madison Ave. ad agency.
In this particular episode:

This weekend I finally had the opportunity to visit the Dogfish Head Alehouse in Falls Church, VA. Our party arrived at the restaurant mid-afternoon Sunday, and had the place almost to ourselves. We were promptly greeted, but needed some time to decide…



Ken Cuccinelli Stands With Catherine Crabill

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

UPDATE:
The only folks on the right, that I’m aware of, to denounce Crabill are conservative bloggers.
