Great Moments in Political Oratory with Eric Cantor

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

When did Cantor become a younger, skinnier, dorkier, dim-witted caricature of Al Gore?
I love how Joe Scarborough apologizes for Lawrence O’Donnell not giving him a chance to answer the question. Then O’Donnell shuts up… and Cantor still won’t answer the question.

Hours later, Cantor voted in favor of the tax.
Jeff Schapiro of the RTD has figured out what […]



Hap Connors Flexing His Political Muscle

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

Publicized endorsements from local elected officials have been few and far between this election season. Months ago Sen. Houck and Del. Pollard endorsed Wagner for Lt. Governor, but it’s been quiet since then.
Lost in a flurry of big-name endorsements for all 3 Democratic candidates for Governor earlier this week, was the fact that the McAuliffe campaign won the […]



Is Sen. Warner in The (Blue) Dog House?

By From http://fred2blue.com • Mar 18th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Last year when Roll Call first mentioned that Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) was interested in forming a Senate Blue Dog caucus, they said that “likely targets” included both of Virginia’s Senators.
Warner? Sure. But they really had no business including Sen. Webb in that list. Lazy reporters just assume that, because he’s supported Republicans in the past, […]

Stay Classy Moran Campaign

By From http://fred2blue.com • Mar 16th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Releasing personal emails sent to them from Josh Chernilla because he joined a rival campaign?
Anyone who knows Josh will tell you that he was critical of Brian Moran’s campaign, and impressed with McAullife’s, long before those emails were dated. This wasn’t some impulsive personal revenge scheme. He wanted to help Brian Moran become Governor long after Terry’s campaign started […]



Virginia is for Lovers…..of Opera and Explosions

If it were up to me, I’d blow stuff up to the music of Queen. Another Bites the Dust, Hammer to Fall, Stone Cold Crazy, you really can’t go wrong.



Ways The GOP Can Become More “Hip”

And, no, I’m not talking about a hip replacement.
I especially like #5: add highlights to combovers and hairpieces.



Frederick or Steele: Who Lasts Longer?

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

Being a Republican in the Mid-Atlantic must be oodles of fun these days.
All five of Virginia’s GOP Congressmen; Cantor, Forbes, Wolf, Wittman, & Goodlatte; have joined Bob McDonnell in calling for Jeff Frederick to step down as Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia. Frederick refuses and says that he has an army of activists at […]
