Last week, the extortionists at the IRS wasted your tax dollars and mine to send me a notice that I would be receiving one of those silly stimulus checks. I am, of course, not unique in this regard; the government’s other serfs received similar notice…

The Triple-C takes aim at HB6055:
This whole transportation funding fiasco is starting to irritate the taxpayers in Virginia. If appearances are considered deceiving, then HB 6055 is a dead ringer for the unconstitutional HB 3202.

The real wake up call will come when the Republicans will lose state races once again, and it will be only […]

So Jon Bowerbank is the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor. He’s been making the rounds, getting to know folks, and doing the usual spiel (Washington Post).
Funny thing, though; when you go to his campaign site, he makes no mention about the only political experience he has (his current term on the Russell County Board of […]

This whole transportation funding fiasco is starting to irritate the taxpayers in Virginia. If appearances are considered deceiving, then HB 6055 is a dead ringer for the unconstitutional HB 3202.

[Virginia Virtucon] The Chorus Against HB 6055 Grows
Posted by Riley in June 30th 2008 under: Republicans, Transportation, Virginia General Assembly, Virginia politics, aggregated, taxes

Del. Bob Marshall has released a reasoned, principled statement on how Republicans can advance transportation funding in Virginia without behaving like Democrats and reflexively raising taxes.
Here are some practical non-tax transportation proposals:
HJR 6007: Lock up the Transportation Trust Fund so transportation dollars are not diverted for other means. More than $1.2 Billion has been diverted […]

[J’s Notes] Barack Obama Is Aware Of Blogspot

It appears that a slew of Hillary Clinton supporters’ blogs (which are now more anti-Obama) are seeing themselves tagged as spam by Blogspot. Seems the process is pretty simple and requires just a bit of cut and paste. Enough of these and a blogger can be locked from posting onto their own site […]

The man who should be Speaker had this to say about the transportation session (including the abomination known as HB6055):
Can Virginia fix transportation without raising taxes? Yes, but unless you contact House of Delegates members before July 9 you may be facing higher taxes and fees, not just from Democrats who want higher auto, sales, […]

The dean of Virginia Virtucon sums up the debacle that is HB6055 nicely:
So now we’re in a special session of the General Assembly to try and find a transportation “fix.” For some, that simply means fixing what was unconstitutional about HB 3202, not what was wrong with it from a policy standpoint. Hence we are now […]

[Virginia Virtucon] Bad Policy That Is Constitutional Is Still Bad Policy

Earlier this year, HB 3202, the transportation compromise monstrosity that was birthed out of last year’s Virginia General Assembly, was declared unconstitutional by the Virginia Supreme Court following a lawsuit filed by Del. Bob Marshall (R-Prince William). HB 3202 was ruled unconstitutional because it created unelected regional governmental authorities that had the right to impose […]

My, how four years can slip by and change one’s perspective on the world and the needed qualifications to be Commander-in-Chief. General Wesley Clark (pictured here with another well-known war hero), every leftist’s favorite military figure, is either a willing dupe of the Obama campaign or he is willfully forgetful of his own grandiose […]
Reports have started coming in regarding the “alternate” Nevada State Convention made up of Ron Paul patriots playing within the rules legally to elect delegates to the Republican National Convention.

Sen. Barack Obama is risking his brand as a political reformer, according to reports today in the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. In recent weeks, he has moderated or changed positions on a number of politically-charged issues, leading to criticism from demoralized Democratic activists and charges of “flip-flopping” from conservatives.
Sounds like a repeat […]

It takes the New York Times to declare Barack Obama a “centrist” - curiously only after he finally secured the nomination from Hillary Clinton, of course.
Paul Krugman, the famed economist and Reagan critic who served as an Enron board member, thinks Obama is a centrist. In fact, he thinks he’s about as centrist as […]
A growing band of supporters of Obama are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name, Hussein.
Hahaha, what’s next??? They adopt the Rev. Jeremiah Wright as their pastor too. It must have been a slow news day for The New York Times.
