Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling offered his support to Gov. Kaine in his time of budgetary need.
“I applaud the Governor for his commitment to bring the budget into balance through spending reductions and not higher taxes. While we can discuss where and how these spending reductions should be made, I am committed to working with […]
This one’s a keeper. At a Democratic rally, listen to the ovation Democrats give to this introduction. Do they even listen, or do they just cheer on cue no matter what is said?

What a difference picking Joe Biden makes!
Pre-Biden, Tim Kaine is Governor of Virginia and insisting on huge spending increases with rosey budget projections that no one believed, except him and his Secretary of Finance, Jody Wagner, who has since quit to run for Lt. Governor.
Thanks to Kaine and Jody Wagner, Virginia’s budget cranked up the […]

Kudos to rookie Sen. Ralph Northam, who did what Sen. Yvonne Miller couldn’t, wouldn’t and hasn’t done.

Ask Glenn Nye a yes or no question, and you may have to ask him 7 times before you get something close to an answer. WAVY-TV 10 had to about the bailout bill.

Two things you can count on during political campaigns. One, that the media will be blatantly biased while yelping that they aren’t.
Two, that taxpayer-funded schools have double-standards galore.
Good old University of Mary Washington is using your tax dollars to sell t-shirts in their campus bookstore.

I’m convinced people don’t mind government stepping in to shore up credit markets to make sure the economy doesn’t free-fall. No one’s thrilled about it, but letting the nation crash so it may eventually rebound sounds great on a blog, but this isn’t like sweating out a cold. People will be hurt badly […]

So much for donation limits, when Obama can charge over $28,000 to attend his fundraising dinner.
Obama’s campaign is focused on today’s tough economic times, after raising millions last night from Jodie Foster, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Rock, Tobey Maguire and Will Ferrell.
The downtrodden….
Seems so. Hillary was all set to appear at a New York rally to protest Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Then she found out Sarah Palin was invited, too.
And Hillary ran away quicker than an intern at a Bill Clinton pizza party.

Congresswoman Thelma Drake and Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina called Nancy Pelosi’s oil drilling bill “a hoax” today on the eve of a likely vote on the quickie legislation from the Democrats. Pelosi’s bill will likely come to the House floor Tuesday, with no committee work and possibly no amendments allowed […]
Not that Glenn Nye was big on details, but he did show up. Questions concerned Iraq, taxes, health care and the like.
Actually, it was pretty pathetic. Nye’s answers were the most vapid, vague nonsense I’ve heard from a candidate. Nye wa…
