Clueless Krystal Ball and Her Delusions of a Gayer Unemployed World-AmeriKa

Folks, I can’t do this candidacy any better commentating than to just tell you to read the platform itself. This is why some 27-year olds should stick to shopping and Facebook and stay out of national and INTERnational affairs of the most powerful nation on Earth! Read the article [here]

krystal-ball

Some of Clueless Krystal’s campaign platform themes are: Why Teachers should make $100,000, Why nuclear testing makes us safer, Why your health insurance company wants you to die, why everyone should get the same pay no matter what they contribute, why marriage between Adam and Steve is healthy for all Americans, Why no one in Congress is under 30 and its because they don’t know about children, Why I want to TRANSFORM our government into a WORLD SOCIETY, Why my newborn baby is the whole reason I’m running for a seat to represent a million people in the U.S. Congress, and that Guns should be given to only those who the government deems worthy.


Next up: Why Sanjia should have won American Idol and OMG, did you SEE what Britney Spears is wearing? There should be a law making that mandatory for all “world” people here in Amerika.

However, what I will say is that the Free Lance-Star continually puts these liberal losers on its front page courtesy of Chelyen Davis’ blatant love affair with anything that is counter-religious and loves a new tax on us! WHY? When Kaine stops at the I-95 rest stop to tinkle, or illegally stump for Al Pollard in a Stafford School- Chelyen finagles a front page headline as a good thing.

When a conservative comes to town, it’s buried in the region section. When a FLAMING LIBERAL says she dreams of one day dancing with gay neighbors and paying every non-working leach the same as the taxpayers who kill themselves to make ends meet and sacrifice their family time to provide a future for them—it’s put on the front page!

Is the editor asleep at the keyboard or are there simply NO CONSERVATIVE WRITERS at the Free Lance-Star? If the later is the case, my apologies for thinking Chelyen is to blame for the imbalance.

This joke of a candidate belongs in the op-ed section with a cartoon above it. Her platform, combined with her name itself, writes its own punchlines. Unfortunately, Chelyen paints every liberal as a newsworthy and that should be balanced with more than a sideline mention when gubernatorial candidates hold huge events that attract 11,000 Virginians and national political and celebrity figures and the best the FLS does is run a rehashed AP story about it.

Now Virginia’s Governor Tim Kaine has Gone Missing??

Author: From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jun 26th, 2009
   Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

RPV HQ: RICHMOND – The Washington Post has uncovered previously undisclosed accounts of Governor Tim Kaine’s travel as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, clearly outlining an itinerary that appears to contain political trips occurring almost exclusively during the normal work week. Seven of the nine excursions revealed by the Post took place on weekdays, amounting to nearly 78-percent of his travel.

The known trips are as follows, including one scheduled for Monday of next week:

• May 2 – Durham, NC – Saturday
• May 8 – Ft. Lauderdale, FL – Friday
• May 20 – Dallas, TX – Wednesday
• May 30 – Miami, FL – Saturday
• June 11 – Chicago, IL – Thursday
• June 18 – Cincinnati, OH — Thursday
• June 19 – Kansas City, MO – Friday
• June 24 – Philadelphia, PA – Wednesday
• June 29 – New York, NY – Monday

This new information flies in the face of repeated statements by Kaine and his staff that his political activities would be confined to time that would not otherwise be devoted to serving the taxpayers of Virginia.

“Kaine said he will do the DNC job on personal time, evenings and weekends,” reported the Associated Press on January 6, 2009 (”Kaine Says He’ll Limit Time Spent As Party Leader”). “‘I think it will be an electronic gig anyway, using e-mail and phone and others,” Kaine added.

“Even the governor is allowed to have a little fun on the weekends,” said Kaine spokeswoman Lynda Tran (Richmond Times-Dispatch, June 20, 2009).

“I think the taxpayers should know when the governor is or is not on duty,” said Pat Mullins, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia. “Clearly, Tim Kaine is out of the office rather frequently. We’d like to know when that is and where he’s going. By looking at the nine junkets that we now know about, it seems obvious that he’s moving about the country an awful lot. How many dozens of times has he been away since January? I think the taxpayers have a right to know that.”

On Friday, June 19, 2009, Mullins submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the governor’s office, seeking information pertaining to the daily schedule of the governor dating back to January 2009, when he became chairman of the DNC. It further requested records pertaining to expenses related to the use of the State Police Executive Protection Unit assigned to guard the governor’s safety.

Kaine also has denied the Post access to a complete listing of his political travel, despite statements that he would be open about his activities.

“I just think the easiest way to handle it is for folks to ask, and I’ll answer it,” Kaine said to the media on Tuesday (”Kaine on Travel,” Washington Post, Virginia Politics Blog, June 23, 2009).

However, the Washington Post reports that it has repeatedly sought such information, only to be denied each time: “But repeated attempts to review Kaine’s schedule — in Richmond, around the state or across the country — before and after he became DNC chairman in late January have been unsuccessful. The Washington Post has requested Kaine’s calendar through the governor’s office, the DNC and his political action committee, Moving Virginia Forward. The requests have been denied or gone unanswered.” (”Va. Governor Is Really Going Places,” Washington Post, June 25, 2009)

The Post also reported that Kaine at first said he did not believe he could devote adequate attention to his duties as Governor of Virginia if he were distracted by the demands of chairing his national political party: “‘I don’t view that, frankly, as consistent with being governor, so I’m going to be governor,’ Kaine said in November. ‘I would view it as taking my eye too much off the ball about things that need to happen here.’”

Under Virginia’s FOIA law, the governor’s office has five working days to respond to the Republican request or can obtain an additional seven days if extra time is needed to compile the requested information. The office can comply completely with the request, issue a partial collection of documents while explaining what legal exemptions allow them to omit others, or deny the request completely while explaining which legal exemptions allow them to refuse the request.

Also on Friday last week, the Republican Party of Virginia unveiled an Internet video spotlighting Kaine’s travel schedule and his reluctance to disclose to Virginia citizens where he is at any given moment.

My wishful thinking speech

Author: From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jun 16th, 2009
   Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

My Fellow Americans:

As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq, this action will be complete within 30 days.

It is now time to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there. The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world’s nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER IT’LL GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WON’T GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Countries and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption. Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Mess with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades.

We are retiring from NATO as well. Bonne chance, mez amies. I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don’t care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch those precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors, Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not making us mad for a change. Mexico is also on List 2, its president and his entire corrupt government really needs an attitude adjustment.

I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put them? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty – starting now. We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we’ll be drilling for oil in Alaska – which will take care of this country’s oil needs for decades to come. If you’re an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above. Pick a country and move there. It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, ‘Right On.’

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world ha s only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America.

To the nations on List 1, a final thought… Thank you guys. We owe you and we won’t forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

God bless America. Thank you and good night.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.

Meet Mr. FCC Radio Censorship Himself, Julius Genachowski- Will YOU Help Fight His Senate Confirmation?

Author: From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jun 13th, 2009

JoshGosfield_CensorshipIsUnAmericanFrom World Net Daily

The chief of a coalition set up to fight attacks on America’s First Amendment rights has issued a warning that Tuesday will be a pivotal point in the history of free speech, as the Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to hold a confirmation hearing for Julius Genachowski.

President Barack Obama’s longtime pal is his pick to be chief of the Federal Communications Commission, but is causing nightmares among the U.S. talk radio industry members because of his views Syndicated talk radio host Roger Hedgecock of San Diego, who was picked by members of the American Radio Free Speech Foundation to be the chief of its Don’t Touch My Dial campaign, said censorship, racial quotas for radio stations, and other new demands from the government are inevitable if Genachowski is confirmed.

The foundation was set up by Brad O’Leary, author of the new book, “Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech,” and Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, following Obama’s election and his choice of administrators started including those who favor the concept of the now-outdated “Fairness Doctrine,” through which the government regulated speech on radio.

“Slutty” MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer is Okay with 14-Year old Governor’s Daughters Being Called Sluts by David Letterman

Author: From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jun 11th, 2009
   Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

 LOL!  Watch 1:27 and 2:10, she comes apart then – then unhinged at the very end.  What an actress!  What a fraud!

This guest is great!

For this fake, empty-headed snob to say in one minute that she’s “fine” with being called a slut in public, but in the next to say she’s “offended” by his general comments about MSNBC’s media bias, is hilarious and totally disingenuous on her part!

So-called “journalists” like her are the reason why MSNBC is the most biased and liberal WORST NETWORK IN THE WORLD to borrow a theme from the other loser on that netowrk, Keith Olbermann, and can never be taken seriously.

She actually defended David Letterman as just making “comedy” when he said a sitting governor’s 14 year old daughter was knocked up by ARod in her presence. 

… Classy David. Real classy. But Contessa’s okay with that. She said it herself.

… and where the heck did that miserable GOP elephant logo come from in 3:10?  What is that thing??

… Quality MSNBC. Real quality.

Creigh “Dirty” Deeds Takes Dem’s Top Spot for Wouldbe Governor, Dems Wallow in Disappointment

Author: From http://rappahannockred.wordpress.com • Jun 10th, 2009
   Category: Blog Entries.Local, Politics

As few as 2% (two) percent of Virginia’s 5 million registered voters turned out to choose who would be the spendocrats’ top cash grabber yesterday (some counties with Republican primaries garnered 13%.)

Riley at Virginia Virtucon said it best, “While a Brian Moran – Mike Signer ticket would have been a gift from heaven for the GOP, there was never any realistic chance of that happening.  But a Deeds – Wagner ticket is almost as good.” 

Deeds won with under 50% of the vote depending on what news source you read (some put him just over 50), beating a millionaire Clintonite carpetbagger Terry McAuliffe and seasoned spendocrat Brian Moran each with about half of the remaining half in most counties.

Check out the rest of his take at the above link, or by reading Virginia Virtucon’s many posts on the subject including our own DJ McGuire’s insightful analysis of why Creigh Deeds’ uber liberal, tax hiking mantra makes him the only gubernatorial candidate that makes Bob McDonnell’s 2007-2008 HB3202 support appear to have been right!  

Even the liberal spenders at Fake Virginia acknowledge that Deeds has an unpopular stand with a lot of Democrats, “I am experienced to know that a few of you will be so disheartened, you won’t be able to support Sen. Deeds in the fall.  That’s O.K. In my view, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad Democrat. Most of you have serious and honest policy disagreements with Mr. Deeds.”

In Stafford, Dan Smolen said in his recap, “For those of us who supported Brian or Terry McAuliffe there is no time to wallow or be disappointed with today’s result.”

Wallowing in disappointment is the thinking-class of Americans right now with the lack of leadership being found in Washington, DC and Richmond and their cash giveaways to their friends.  $4 Trillion dollars of spending (not investing or loaning), Democrats??? Really- that’s a good idea for our children’s generation?? 

… And you want to bring that to Virginia in November??

Disenfranchised dilusional Democrats and fired-up Republicans will hit the polls November 3, 2009 to decide our next four-year course, let’s hope we can afford it!

More Great Pictures from the 2009 Virginia Republican Convention, New Media is the Future!

…Taken by an amateur photographer who happens to also be a Republican county supervisor!  YES WE CAN do better in Virginia GOP communications both online, print and multimedia, and YES WE WILL! 

And we’ll do it without paying through the nose to BUY the media bias and favor (or by buying the publications themselves with tax money or bailouts mislabeled as “stimulus” cash!)

We’ll do news, editorials and entertainment better, faster and in more volume than the liberal press corps could EVER do it!  Because we KNOW that a free market is the best way to do business on Earth!

We’ll bring you information  for FREE and with equal or BETTER angles, coverage and multiple perspectives than any one newspaper beat writer ever could.

I didn’t see our local newspaper at the event!  Although they *must* have been there somewhere; they weren’t at the press booth all day. 

Who was? DOZENS of *new media* bloggers, videographers, podcasters, live-Tweeters, FaceBookers, photographers and radio interviewers.  We got information out to 11,007 attendees in real time—literally within seconds— accurately and easy to read and understand—just the way people want it.

Who wants to wait until tomorrow to read about it on low-res newspaper? … or next week in a magazine? Who would ever want to read a re-hashed AP News story from someone who doesn’t know the lay of the land?

Virginia is home to HUNDREDS of local conservative blogs and thousands of local photographers who can support them … and we’re hooking up exponentially!

NEW MEDIA is the future, and the future is here today. And the future media is made by dedicated conservatives volunteers who work for YOU because they ARE YOU!

“Amateurs built the Ark … PROFESSIONALS built the Titanic!”

  … a lesson the OLD media corps is learning regularly and sorely.  They would be wise to work with us new media guys instead of ignoring us like they have for the past decade.  Our numbers are growing while their readers and advertisers are scattering fast….

Welcome to the new world order (of media). Photos, comments, and guest bloggers are welcome on Rappahannock Red and your favorite local conservative blog… contact me if you’re interested in blogging and don’t know where to start: VaRepublican@gmail.com .
