Marsden Must Answer on Kaine Tax Increase

FAIRFAX – Democratic candidate for the Virginia Senate Dave Marsden, who sometimes rents a room in the 37th [...]
Take a look at this graph below from the recent budget presentation showing the growing debt service payments required in the coming years. As Lee J said in a post below, Miller is already saying taxes will go up. So what the heck, let’s just saddle the taxpayers with anticipated madatory [...]
Mailers like this have been dropping at homes across the 37th District, decrying big government and pledging tax cuts. The message seems familiar to the one that Bob McDonnell used when he ran for Governor and carried Faifax County, the 41st House District, and the 37th [...]
So the energy plan abomination is rushed through on a 5-4 vote. The whole 182 page thing, complete with commercial advertisements (can someone sue to get them out?). Just like with the Journey Through Hallowed Ground abomination, the full process isn’t needed when it’s for the right people. And obvious [...]

The rumors have been out there for a while, but Ben when ahead and broke the news as official: Pat Herrity will be challenging freshman Gerry Connolly for Congress in 2010. I hope to have more later.
Conflicts? Insider Deals? Hypocritical? Naaahhh, That Can’t Be Me Because I Am SO GREEN!
Â
So I hear she is all in a tizzy about the recent blog attention she is receiving. Well, I must say she definitely enjoyed this type of attention when it was placed on her [...]
I just got a copy of a note that Anthony Bedell sent to the FCRC Executive Board confirming some of the things we’ve been hearing. Here’s the text:

Exec Comm:

I am sure you have seen some recent speculation about me on the blogs. So let me be the [...]
Supervisor Pat Herrity took to the opinion page of the Connection Newspaper to issue a challenge to the Board of Supervisors: to make the “hard decisions” and reduce county spending, rather than take the easy way out by simply taking more money from Fairfax residents.
.
Says Herrity, “Simply put Fairfax [...]

Let’s see, if Bruce Tulloch had used his supervisor office to try to steer work towards himself and/or his buddies, how would Andrea McGimsey have reacted? Oh wait a minute, this isn’t a hypothetical question, becasue she DID say things like (from this Leesburg Today article):
“We need a person [...]
My sources tell me that there’s a high likelihood Fairfax County Republican Committee chair Anthony Bedell will follow Glen Caroline’s lead and not run for reelection. Given the behind the scenes criticism and constant second guessing from naysayers over the last years, I can’t say that I blame him. I [...]
So, Loudoun County needed an energy plan pronto and went to the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) to get it done instead of going through its own contracting process. This resulted in a sole source special contract to produce the County Energy Strategy (CES) going to Garforth International, LLC for approximately [...]
This year has been a year for running great Republican candidates across the entire state, but especially in Northern Virginia. We’ve been especially successful in our special elections, and I’m hoping that our trend continues as we’ve got a school board special election coming up in the Mason District (to [...]
Laurence Verga and others are already going after Sen. Hurt…..pretty early huh? So much for the holiday season!
[...]
I received notification yesterday of Glen Caroline’s decision to not seek re-election but didn’t have time to post about it, and frankly was too saddened by the news! Ric James starts off the discussion with a post here, including a portion of Glen’s announcement. I’ll post the full [...]
Well, we all know the public sector employees will be out in full force demanding raises when nearly no one in the private sector is getting them. If you don’t want to be saddled with higher taxes, get your butts out and speak your mind! 6:30 tonight at the County [...]
Setting up an interesting “what if” scenario, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine believes that he would been re-elected Governor if he could run—not only have won, but won “pretty easily” in his own words. Obviously, he’s off his rocker, but Lowell took the ball and ran [...]
Here’s his latest column. I am very conservation minded and there is no doubt that man’s activities have effects on our planet. But the climate change (formerly global warming before warming didn’t turn out as planned) movement has gone way beyond reasonableness. The data scandal and burying of conflicting [...]
Reporting from the Advance, the RPV Luncheon featuring the three statewide candidates was followed by the annual RPV Awards ceremony. The two big winners were the Fairfax County Republican Committee and Anthony Bedell, who won Outstanding Unit of the Year, and Loudoun County’s Glen Caroline, who won [...]

Excuse my inferred foul language, but there really isn’t another word to capture my disgust for her. Fake Redskins cheerleader, fake Miss USA, etc., etc., etc. She wanted attention? Well she’s got it now, but probably not from the directions she is getting [...]

I just heard from a good source that current renting carpetbagger Dave Marsden was the one who convinced former (but still renting) capretbagger Stevens Miller to run against Tom Rust. What is it with these NoVA Dems???
One of my favorite categories on Jeopardy! is potpourri – you never know what is going to be in there. I’ve been thinking about a lot of random things the last few days but nothing developed enough for a full post. So here’s a potpourri post of my random musings.

In an impressive victory, Steve Hunt received more votes than Marianne Horinko and Will Nance combined, taking more than 50% of the vote in a high-turnout firehouse primary. As I noted before, more than 1900 people, which is over 100 more than the Cuccinelli/Thompson primary [...]
Update from VA Blogger: Hunt 955, Horinko 479, Nance 469. Hunt wins over 50% of the vote; turnout 1903, about 100 more than seven years ago in a shorter amount of time. Loooong line stretched all the way from the library to the street from 6:30 until the polls closed. [...]
The Washington Post recently had a VERY candid interview with Corey Stewart…here’s some of highlights:
WashPost:Where do you hope to be five years from now?
CS: I’ll probably still be chairman. Someday in the future, I’d like to run for another office. But I’m happy right now.
WashPost: What have [...]
UPDATE:
A worthwhile blog to read on why pointing the finger at the Governor doesn’t work.
[...]A reminder to all voters in the 37th Senate District, the Republican Firehouse Primary is tomorrow, December 1st, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., at Centreville High School, 6001 Union Mill Rd. Any registered voter in the 37th District can vote.

If you’re a voter still making up your mind, I’ve [...]
Un-frigging-believable! As John Stevens helpfully points out on his blog, the School Board was to have a consent agenda item on tonight’s meeting agenda to spend $1.7 MILLION on more of those goddammed white boards!!! Can anyone explain to me why this is a good idea in the worst [...]
Who else is going? I’ll be there Friday-Sat evening, hope to catch up with many of y’all.
[...]What jerk-offs these two are. Attention loving pieces of crap in my opinion. Who looks worse in this, the ego-maniacal couple or the Obama White House? And what’s with the WaPo giving them front page treatment three days in a row??? Are they paying the Post for this attention they [...]
There are just so many suitable choices, I just can’t make up my mind! Put yours below and let’s see where this goes…
UPDATE: And the winner is … Stevens Miller, in a landslide!

Pretty boring these days in Loudoun politics, although things will soon heat up with the budget deliberations. Post any news and views below.

Alan Moore of the DC Examiner recently did a profile of each of the three Republicans in the race to succeed AG-elect Ken Cuccinelli; Chairman Tim Kaine recently set the date of the general election to Tuesday, January 12th. Here are some excerpts from Moore’s articles:

Let me start out by saying that I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. But the Dems would have been much better off strategically if they had picked Hillary to be their nominee. There was no way any GOP candidate was going to win that election with GWB hanging around their necks. [...]
I’ve been back to sorting through the never-ending streams of blog spam and more than a few real comments that get caught in our spam filter (sorry to those of you who get caught up – this thing never seems to learn who is real and who is an a-hole [...]
Amy Gardner is out with a report that doesn’t really report much—just that Pat Herrity, who barely lost a county-wide special election to fill Rep. Gerry Connolly’s seat, may be seeking again to replace Connolly, this time in Congress. Ever since Herrity’s near-win, speculation about [...]
More drama to deal with when they should be looking for spending cuts! Unlike the BOS, where the At-Large member is the Chairman, the School Board elects its Chairman from among its nine members. Robert DuPree has apparently had enough of taking the brunt of criticism and will not seek [...]
Can’t the conservative PR gurus do better than lightweights like Joe the Plumber and Carrie Pre-Billy-Jean??? Joel McHale gives her The Soup treatment after her ridiculous performance on fossiliferous Larry King’s show. Earlier in a segment they made fun of her for saying how thrilled she was when she “meeted” [...]
Less than two weeks after being narrowly elected to an open seat, Mark Keam is already showing his true partisan stripes. Consider this twitter exchange:
Â
Keam: After Freshman orientation this morning, Gov. Kaine spoke to Caucus. We’re going to miss him and his leadership. Thanks for 4 great years!
Â
How many Kings, Emperors and other potentates is Obama going to make his obeisance before? Does anyone else find it as galling as I do to see the leader of the free world groveling before royalty?
.
Apparently the Emperor of Japan bows to no one, but [...]
NLS had a great post today blasting our part-time Governor Tim Kaine for jetting off to sunny Arkansas while declaring an emergency here in Virginia. And of course the Dem partisans take to blasting NLS for daring to mention impeachment, which Kaine probably deserves at this point. Just as [...]
Clueless Lowell Feld will obviously continue to vainly try to unseat our beloved Congressman Frank Wolf (link here to his little read blog post- Blue Virginia, Lowell? Obviously not!). It looks like his hero Judy Feder is finally giving up and we’ll have three other unknowns [...]
This morning, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other 9/11 terrorist plotters will be tried in New York in U.S. District Court. This is a major reversal from the Bush Administration’s plan to try KSM and others detained at Gitmo through military tribunals.
