Patricia Phillips for Senate

Now that some blogs have picked up the race and Spike Williams is in, I should state my unequivocal support for Patricia Phillips in the 33rd district. She has the right mix of fiscal and Constitutional conservatism to appeal to a broad base of voters in both Loudon and Fairfax. I like Spike Williams just fine, having met him a couple times when he ran for Supervisor in '07, but Patricia is the conservative choice here.

Cuccinelli nails it on federalism...

... in his brilliant op-ed in the Washington Examiner. He lays out the basics of why federal power is limited, and why any sort of "individual mandate" is illegal and unconstitutional. THIS is why I worked for him, putting out signs, making calls, etc. That's actually extremely unusual for me to explicitly support a politician. Now that he's been elected to statewide office, he's rewarding my faith.

In stark contrast, read this Politico article on the same issue from Tuesday. Waxman is so impossibly arrogant. He, along with avast majority of Congress (both parties), just don't get it. They think "federalism" means supremacy of the federal government in all things, all the time. Please, people, TRY and read the Constitution, The Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers before you run for public office.

Go, Ken, go!

EDIT: And Connolly, too, in that Politico piece.

Newt Gingrich... Neocon

This article by the NewAmerican, the magazine of the John Birch Society, really lays it all out. The sooner conservatives dissociate themselvesfrom him and others like him, the better.

Patrick Murray For Congress, 8th District

Met him at the Advance, was very impressed. Read on his background, including his interviews. I'm sold. No intentional disrespect shown to Berry or Ellmore (Socci is a complete tool and should withdraw) but I'm endorsing Col. Murray in the 8th district primary, and will be voting for him.

Vote!!!

Just wanted remind everyone to get out and vote today! I voted this morning for Tim Nank for Delegate, Bob McDonnell (had to think about it, but I did) for Governor, Bill Bolling for Lt. Governor, and Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General. (Woohoo!) I'd ask everyone to vote for these statewide candidates. We need to take this republic back from the left, and it starts today here in Virginia.

The Democrats show their true colors...

...supporting punk-level vandalism of campaign signs. Not that I'm a big fan of Bob McDonnell, but I think he's going to hold off Deeds.

Nice job, guys, what's next, throwing that fake blood at campaign offices again. Winners, I tell ya.

Sarkozy lays it out on Obama's "no nukes" crusade

I don't agree with him all the time, but this guy may be the linchpin of Western leaders against the Islamic threat right now.

Well done, President Sarkozy.
