We Need A Bigger Table


RPV posted this new web ad today. Looks like the infinitesimal chance that if the sky should fall, the oceans collide, the earth burst into flames, and if Creigh Deeds wins this election, we just might need to invest in sturdier furniture as a Commonwealth.

With Desperate Times Come Desperate Deeds


From poll results to policy initiatives, Bob McDonnell has consistently been in the lead.  The most recent poll shows that he’s up by double digits and staying there.

PPP’s Oct. 16-19 survey gives him a 12 point advantage over Dirty Deeds. PPP’s survey three weeks ago had McDonnell up by just five points.  SurveyUSA also has McDonnell up by an overwhelming number of 19 points…the highest so far if I’m not mistaken.

Deeds continues to be hampered by a high unfavorable rating at 48 percent in the SurveyUSA poll and his only leg to stand on at this point is the Washington Post.  He’s losing supporters daily with his comments that alienate the only votes he probably had. I guess the best ally is a dumb opponent.

The fact that endorsements are flipping and poll numbers are surging for McDonnell lends well to the fact that Deeds’ campaign is the textbook definition of what one would call a “lame duck” candidate. Heck, Barry O won’t even touch come off his ivory tower in Washington to lend a hand.  What an epic fail.

But keep your eyes peeled over the next 11 days because “with desperate times come desperate Deeds.”

A Public Policy Polling survey taken Oct. 16-19 gives Republican nominee McDonnell a 52 percent to 40 percent advantage over Democrat Deeds. PPP’s survey three weeks ago had McDonnell had by just five points.

The PPP poll came on the heels of a SurveyUSA poll conducted Oct. 17-19 that pegged McDonnell’s lead at 19 points. Most surveys in the past two months have given McDonnell a lead in the high single digits.

DJ Deeds Tries To Spin Some More Hype


As most of you have probably already heard, the Deeds campaign got the WaPo to run a (mediocre, at best) pot shot at McDonnell concerning his master’s thesis at Regent University.

This is just another vile attempt by Deeds’ struggling campaign to sling some mud and attempt to label McDonnell more of than he actually is and pick off some of the swing voters.

The truth is that it’s not working how they expected it in the least bit. While his paper at a right-wing religious university may have contained some items stemming from the tumultuous times, with divorce rising and welfare beginning to burden the economy, and from the pressure of mixing faith with education, most of it is no more than that…mere words.

McDonnell has refuted most of the items on that thesis and has (rightly) stated that his tangible political record has more than made up for simple words in a paper written 20 years ago. McDonnell held a conference call earlier today and Riley at Virtucon has a great outline of the call posted.

The Democrats are quick to tell you otherwise though. Tim Kaine stated earlier today that the thesis was an “accurate reflection” of McDonnell’s views.  He also said it “raises serious questions about his plan for Virginia if elected.”  Additionally, both Deeds and Kaine have called into question McDonnell’s 20-year old views on contraception, women in the workplace, and gays and furthermore the Democrats would have you believe that McDonnell is “backpeddling”.

However, what they both fail to point out that Kaine shares those same views on life, death and marriage and Deeds voted the same as McDonnell 98% of the time while they both served in the legislature.  Sounds like they’re both grasping at straws at this point in their failing political careers.  The only good thing is that both wont be in public office a year from now.

Hypocrisy at It’s Best


Now I’m glad that the public option is pretty mucDoctor Obamah off the table and Democrats are distancing themselves from healthcare.

But, quite frankly, I’ve had just about enough of the bullcrap that Democrats are full of.

If I do recall, during the two presidential terms from 2000-2008, the Democrats did nothing except hound on the smallest of mistakes by the Bush administration.

Now with the tables turned in 2009 and the Democrats in power, they can’t take ANY criticism on their unpopular socialized proposals.

They can’t stand that the Republican party and interested parties in the healthcare debate have used the same tactics and like resources as Obama used to gain the White House to kill healthcare reform.  They can’t stand that grassroots demonstrators across the country have turned socialized medicine on it’s head and essentially made the country mad at Democrats.

Now the interesting thing is to watch a Democrat when you back him into a corner.  It’s like a cat that will gnaw and claw and say just about anything to get out of that position. Just among the few insane things they’re throwing out there are that these people at town halls are staged and that bills being introduced in Congress don’t have specifics like death panels, government takeover of healthcare, and rationing of healthcare.  They believe it won’t raise the deficit even though the CBO says it will.

From comments on CNN article attempting to fact check the failing plan and numerous Dem blogs, apparently people’s opinions on healthcare and such are just a concealed way to say “get rid of the black President.”  The fact that people even believe that is just insane.  They will label and attempt to spin anything towards racism.  Don’t like healthcare? You’re racist.  Don’t want Obama in the White House? You’re racist.  Have doubts about where Barack was born? You’re a racist. Think the stimulus was wasted money and has done nothing to help our economic status? You’re a racist.  Watching their party self-destruct from in the inside out over such an unpopular issue is funny as hell.

This is hypocrisy at it’s best.  The Dems are just turning into zealots for a lost cause and the end game will be Barack NOT sitting in the Oval Office in 1252 days from now. How glorious.
