I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Liz Cheney has admitted she’s pondering a run for office, so this rumor from Flipperwaves doesn’t really seem that far-fetched:
Republicans are moving to clear the way for Cheney to be the nominee in 2012 with no primary challenger to conserve campaign cash.  Republicans are also telling me […]

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, says of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor:
“I will not vote for – no senator should vote for – an individual nominated by any president who believes it is acceptable for a judge to allow their own personal background, gender, prejudices or sympathies to sway […]



RPV, House GOP Supports Crabill for Delegate

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 13th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Apparently the fact that Republicans of the 99th House District  nominated her at their convention wasn’t some kind of anomaly, Catherine Crabill is listed on the Republican Party of Virginia and Virginia House GOP Caucus websites in the ‘candidates’ sections. What’s unbelievable, is that Crabill’s conspiracy theories aren’t even a secret! Her campaign website, which […]

Not only that, but so far “63 percent of Deeds‘ nearly $5 million raised came from Virginia. By contrast, just 30 percent of McDonnell’s 2009 funds to date have come from Virginia, with more than $4 million coming from out of state.”

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 11th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The South Carolina Republican Party does not think that Mark Sanford should resign because of multiple secret trips to Argentina to cheat on his wife, but Virginia Republicans are coming out saying that Tim Kaine should resign because he travels to various U.S. states for political purposes. Several elected officials, like MS Gov. Haley Barbour, […]

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 10th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This is a no-brainer, and a good example of the common sense that Albert Pollard has demonstrated in the General Assembly over the years (and check out B-I-N-G-O at AlbertPollard.com):
Delegate Pollard today announced plans to introduce legislation which will allow veterans and charitable organizations to hold charity bingo events at their own facilities with greatly […]

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 10th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling, GOP candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor respectively, are both non-commital about whether or not they want soon-to-be former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to campaign with them here in the commonwealth. However Ken Cuccinelli campaign manager Chris LaCivita (arguably the most dirty operative in all of Republican politics) seems open […]



Sierra Club and LCV Endorse Albert Pollard

By From http://fred2blue.com • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

No surprise. Del. Pollard is a former Chespeake Bay Foundation Legislator of the Year after all.
His opponent, Catherine Crabill? I’m afraid to even ask her many years old she thinks the Earth is. No wonder only 6%(!) of scientists identify themselves as Republicans.

Once again, for those just joining us, Catherine Crabill was nominated by the 99th House District Republicans to take on incumbent Del. Albert Pollard. Crabill, a member of a militia group in the mid 90’s, believes that the federal government, and not Timothy McVeigh, was responsible for the murder of hundreds of Americans at the […]



The “New & Improved” GOP Marches On: George Allen Coming Back?

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

As a politician, George Allen had a football surgically grafted to his hand during photo-ops. This was to remind Virginia voters that his dad used to coach the Redskins.
That’s why I agree with Ben Smith’s speculation that Allen’s upcoming book, The Triumph of Character: What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports, is a […]
