The fallout from the decision to run a Republican primary versus a convention was too easy to predict. The first shot was taken in today’s Charlottesville Daily Progress in a story by Brian McNeill. Though mostly balanced, he did not refer to last years Democratic primary for governor which used up much more tax payer [...]

The week before Christmas Robert Hurt was in Washington groveling before Grover Norquist president of Americans for Tax Reform. Hurt signed the ATR’s no tax pledge. Of course this was done years after his vote to increase Virginian’s taxes by 1.6 billion dollars and ending up on the ATR’s Virginia’s Least Wanted Poster.
It is so [...]

The Senate delivered a very expensive and unneeded present to us on Christmas Eve. Despite the tens of thousands of phone calls and faxes to our representatives and despite the polls showing that the majority of Americans do not want government controlled health care our Senators in all their wisdom pass this bill strictly along [...]

Yesterday after reflecting on the cloture vote for the Senate health care bill and listening to the pundits I became more concerned then ever for my country. We as conservatives can disagree as to who will best represent us in the 5th district but we all love our country and want what is best. [...]

I don’t always agree with Newt Gingrich but this speech is worth listening to.

5th District candidate for the GOP congressional nomination, Ken Boyd, does not seem to want to commit. On at least two separate occasions the possibility of making some sort of pledge has come up but Ken does not seem to be interested in the idea. At a recent meeting in Charlotte County Boyd, said [...]

Rumors are being spread that the unit chairs were “threatened’ by certain members of the tea party. This is so unbelievable it is almost funny. This is another attempt by Tucker and his crew to find justification for their vote in support of the chosen candidate Robert Hurt. If the unit chairs were so afraid [...]

After having a conversation with another person who had also attended the 5th district meeting Saturday I was reminded what someone had shouted out just before the primary was voted on. Tucker Watkins had called for a secret ballot and someone yelled out in opposition to this method that they were our elected officials and [...]

I have heard Robert Hurt on several occasions comment on his ability to win races. He considers himself a conservative and brags about winning in a conservative district. This causes me to question why Mr. Hurt considers it such an accomplishment for a Republican to win an election in a this type of district. It [...]

Ken Boyd in a new press release put out just hours after the 5th District eunuch chairs voted for a primary over a convention, pleaded with supporters of the 5 truly conservative candidates to come on board his team.
So Ken, let me get this right, you want the citizens to have a choice of [...]
