RTD Columnist: ‘Bullet box’ has no place in U.S. democracy

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 8th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I don’t agree with everything Richmond Times-Dispatch columnist Michael Paul Williams writes, in terms of his views on the 2nd amendment, but he does make a few good points. Catherine Crabill and company routinely invoke the founding fathers and the American Revolution when defending her controversial comments. Funny how they conveniently forget to compare themselves […]



Remember When Comparing the President to Hitler Was Frowned Upon?

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 7th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Jews sure as hell do. We’re also wondering why Eric Cantor thinks that it’s OK as long as that President is a Democrat? There are 45 Jewish members of Congress, and Cantor is the only Republican in that group. And not just a Republican, but the House Minority Whip and a possible candidate for President […]

Terry McAuliffe:
When Bob McDonnell’s campaign said Virginians would rather be on welfare than work, Creigh Deeds didn’t miss a beat. Earlier this week, he launched an online petition demanding that Bob McDonnell apologize to the people across Virginia still struggling to find work.

Mark Warner Slams GOP Health Care Reform “Scare Tactics”

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Sen. Warner is not an automatic ‘Yes‘ vote on several items in President Obama’s legislative agenda: health care reform, cap-and-trade,  EFCA, etc. However, disagreeing on an issue is no excuse for some of these “arguments” coming from the right lately. But what do you expect from a political party made up mostly of people who […]

Mark Warner, Other Pro-Gun Senators Buck the NRA

By From http://fred2blue.com • Aug 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Some political observers did a double take when the NRA announced that they opposed Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court, and that they would count the vote in their next scorecard for U.S. Senators. Several Democrats in the Senate are regular recipients of an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. So does this mean trouble […]
