New Navy Secretary….New Navy?

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 24th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Mississippi Governor Ray Mabus was sworn in as Navy Secretary last week after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The Department of the Navy oversees both the Navy and the Marine Corps. I agree with Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) that it’s time we rename it: The Department of the […]



Deeds: The ‘Warner-Kaine’ Candidate for Governor

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 22nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Media.Local

On Monday, Del. Albert Pollard described Sen. Creigh Deeds as the Democratic candidate for Governor who’s “most in the Warner/Kaine mold.” Today, The Washington Post concurs (emphasis added):
Democratic voters may wonder: How can Mr. Deeds beat presumptive Republican nominee Robert F. McDonnell, who beat Mr. Deeds in the attorney general’s race four years ago? The […]



Catherine Crabill Speaks

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 21st, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Nobody at this convention brings up her insane conspiracy theories about Oklahoma City. Crabill, and her supporters, simply frame this as a good Christian woman being attacked for her beliefs by mean, nasty bloggers (these bloggers range from myself to conservatives like Virginia Virtucon and Bolling/Cuccinelli supporter Timothy Watson at I’m Surrounded By Idiots).

‘Northern Neck News’ Shills for Crabill

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 20th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local, Media.Local

According to the Northern Neck News, the only reason Catherine Crabill’s candidacy is controversial is because she’s an unabashed Christian. Nowhere in this article is there any mention of her crazy, conspiracy theorist views. Instead, they frame this as the same old argument that social conservatives use all the time: That a poor Christian, in […]



Obama & Kaine: Risk Rewarded

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I love it when a politician plays it safe and then gets punished for it later in favor of someone who took a risk. In 2002, Barack Obama took a big risk by opposing a war that 70+% of the American public supported. When you look back at the Democrats who did support the Iraq […]



Rob “Big Government” Wittman Strikes Again

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Congressman Wittman and his hypocrisy on big government/spending issues are something to behold.
Local conservative blogger Timothy Watson has been all over this:
On February 7, 2008, Rob Wittman voted for a moratorium on the submission of earmark requests in the House of Representatives; the moratorium, however, failed to pass. The same day, he issued a press […]



Pollard Endorses Deeds for Governor

By From http://fred2blue.com • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Via twitter, Del. Albert Pollard (D-99) had this to say on Monday:
Any of 3 wld mke good govs-but I decided Deeds most in Warnr/Kaine mold. He’s groundd yet savvy. Wsn’t his tweets, I’m musclly illitrte.
Pretty big deal imho. As their former caucus chairman, most House Democrats have backed Brian Moran for Governor.
