    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

FitzSimmonds Outraises Colgan; On Track for Upset in Senate

Go, Bob, go!!!

Campaign Finance Reports and New Endorsements
Dear Friends –
Campaign Finance Reports came out this evening and we again outraised our Democrat opponent by a healthy margin. While we raised $161,346, Chuck Colgan only raised $134,494. Our success in fundraising has made it possible for us to conduct an aggressive mail campaign, in addition to [...]

Coincidence or a sign?

From the London Daily Mail:

This fiery figure is being hailed as Pope John Paul II making an appearance beyond the grave.
The image, said by believers to show the Holy Father with his right hand raised in blessing, was spotted during a ceremony in Poland to mark the second anniversary of his death.

The bonfire [...]

The Votes Are There!

It now looks like the fifth vote has been found to pass funding for the crackdown on illegal aliens and the denial of benefits to them in Prince William Co.
According to Greg L. on BVBL earlier today, he noted that Chairman Corey Stewart along with Supervisors Stirrup, Covington and May had all announced their intention [...]

Peterson Gets Chap! Slapped by WashPo

Chap! Peterson was downright Chap! Slapped by the WashPo today when they endorsed Jeannemarie Devolites Davis in their senate race.  Despite the nice things they said about him, the WashPo will rarely endorse a Republican when the race is actually competitive.  In the instances where it does, the Republican is either undeniably better than the Democrat or else [...]

Part 2- The ‘Breakdown’

The second part of this post, the ‘breakdown’, is a list of all the possible candidates that are now or in the future going to vie for this open Congressional seat. It is a rather large list.  I can think of really no ‘short’ way of doing it, so I’m just going to list them, [...]

John Jenkins – I don’t care what it costs…

That is the only thing that we can assume from Neabsco Supervisor John Jenkins’ response to the detailed study put together by Trent Barton debunking the overly-inflated cost of implementing the anti-illegal alien resolution in PWC being cited by some as a reason to oppose it:
> Subject: Not read: Illegal Immigration Vote– Cost of the [...]

Debunking “Funny Math” Meant To Sink Anti-Illegal Alien Resolution

Trent Barton has done excellent work researching budget numbers to debunk the “funny math” that some opponents of PWC’s anti-illegal alien resolution have been using to scare people into thinking this will cost too much to institute.  Couple this with the results of last week’s budget retreat where county staff indicated that there were unallocated [...]

THIS is why Corey Stewart had to send out his mailer

Some have questioned why PWC Chairman Corey Stewart sent out a postcard mailer to every home in the county announcing that a vote would take place on Tuesday, Oct. 16, on denying county services to illegal aliens and funding the police to check the immigration status of those they have probable cause to suspect are [...]

Voice Your Support for PWC Anti-Illegal Alien Resolution

Tomorrow, Tuesday, is the big vote on funding PWC’s anti-illegal alien resolution so law enforcement officers can check the immigration status of suspected illegal aliens.  They will also vote on defining which government services will be denied to illegal aliens.
The first duty an elected official does upon assuming office is take an oath to uphold the [...]

Friday Night Video Fights – Week 12 Results

The polls are now closed on Week 12 of Virginia Virtucon’s Friday Night Video Fights. With 57 percent of the vote, Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” has defeated Glenn Frey’s “Smuggler’s Blues.” Traffic from the BillyIdol.com website once again gave him the edge. Had the Eagles Fans site weighed in, I don’t think that it [...]
