Life was easier and less worrisome when I stuck to the routine of going to work, getting the kids to school, attending soccer games on the weekend and indulging in an occasional dinner on Saturday night with friends. Yes, that was easier, but I chose t…

By Chris Guy From http://fred2blue.com • Sep 28th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Most Convincing Endorsement in the History of Politics? I Think So

By Chris Guy From http://fred2blue.com • Sep 28th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Sophia A. Nelson is a moderate Republican who voted for Obama last November. But today, on Huffington Post, she wrote a scathing indictment of the Deeds campaign (titled Why Creigh Deeds Lost My Vote in the Virginia Governor’s Race), which explains why she’ll be voting for Bob McDonnell this year.

Well, the only current statewide elected officials are Kaine, Bolling, Webb, and Warner. All four men are backing their party’s nominee for Governor. Could they be referring to a former elected official like past [...]



Best-of clip of the insanity at Rob Wittman’s town hall meeting in Warsaw, Virginia, on August 30th, 2009.

Ouch, just ouch.
These people really need to lay off the Glenn Beck and the internet. At the very least, they need to do a little research before they repeat everything they see on television or on the internet. Just because someone writes it on a blog or somewhere else doesn’t make it true.
