What a move by the Republicans!
So, do we have freedom of choice or not? Democrats believe strongly in the Constitutional “right” for a woman to chose to have an abortion, but the mandatory requirement that everyone purchase health care really does not give us much of a choice about [...]
The Bill now laughingly called Health Care Reform will, no doubt, pass the Senate. The Democrats have the votes to cut off a possible filibuster by Republicans, so it is a done deal.
Traitors Webb and Warner feel that their next elections are far enough in the future that they are [...]
If Dave Marsden’s record as Delegate is any indicator, there is no doubt that Marsden will be likely to support outgoing Governor Tim Kaine’s budget. As reported before, Marsden voted in favor of Kaine’s $2 Billion tax increase in 2008, which is especially odd considering that the taxes [...]
This whole Laurence Verga "I'm the conservative, vote for or I go third party" is getting annoying. NY-23 was a drastic situation because the voters there did not get the opportunity that the voters in VA-5 are getting, the chance to chose the nominee with their votes. The problem with [...]
The following statement was issued several hours ago by Governor Kaine:
I just received the following statement from Sen. Mark Warner's office on his vote for cloture on health care reform. Does he really say, "I also believe recent changes have strengthened this legislation, including the elimination of proposals that could have broadly expanded the government’s role?" Like eliminating the [...]

-Asks Warner and Webb to demand same concessions for Virginia and other states-
RICHMOND – Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling today sent a [...]
Sen. Robert Hurt is courting the fringe right, Olympia Meola writes in today’s Times-Dispatch:
Some conservatives object to Hurt’s voting record—principally his support of a $1.4 billion tax increase pushed by former Gov. Mark R. Warner in 2004.
After he cast that vote, Hurt was among 19 Republican delegates and 15 [...]
Courtesy of Politico (since I couldn't find the statement on Webb's Senate website and I didn't receive it via email), here's Jim Webb's statement on his decision to vote for cloture on the Senate's health care bill. Bolding is added by me for emphasis: 
In the dead of the night at 1:33 a.m., both Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner voted for cloture for the Senate version of the health care bill.
Now the bill must receive final passage, likely Christmas Eve, in the Senate (only a simple majority is [...]
It is 1:21 a.m., and the U.S. Senate just voted in a party line vote, 60-40, to approve cloture on the manager’s amendment. All of the usual so-called Moderate Democrats voted with Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to approve cloture: Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.), Blanche Lincoln (Ark.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Ben Nelson [...]
Especially at the thought of Sen. Harry Reid, leader of the Senate by bribery. I'm pretty sure representative government wasn't meant to mean one asshat senator from Nevada throwing tax payer money around like its his own to buy senators votes for a bill the American people, both left [...]
