This resolution overwhelmingly passed the Alexandria Republican City Committee. There were only 2 negative votes in the room. More than 50 were present at the meeting.
I didn’t do a headcount, but 50 seems a bit on the high side to me.
I was in attendance yesterday evening and actually counted 54 people in attendance at the Alexandria Republican City Committee (ARCC) meeting.
Out of those 54, after discussion and comments, there was indeed an overwhelming vote of 52 members of the ARCC to pass the resolution to ask the Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia to resign his office prior to April 4, 2009, with only 2 nays against.

Will other units take a similar lead?
I will be bringing the same resolution before the Portsmouth committee at our Mass Meeting on the 17th. Its time for Jeff to go. He’s not helping and he’s ruining our party. This isn’t party insiders people this is the real grass roots that go out and fight and build and work hard for this party. I can’t stand by and watch this man destroy us for his and his wife’s own power trip.
Jeff doesn’t support Bill Bolling. Jeff repeatedly worked with Steve Waters and his gang in working against Gov. Gilmore. Jeff supports Muldoon the most wretched excuse for a candidate this state ever produced. Morgan Griffith is a known backer of Jeff. In fact its been said on this blog that Ryer, Morgan G’s legislative aide had been mentioned as the Political Director of RPV. So if you start drawing connections… I’d dare say that our own Majority Leader in the House, Morgan Griffith does not support Bill Bolling. This is a cabal people. The real cabal that has hijacked Your Party, My Party, OUR Party from us. This comes down to the play that the House of Delegates wants to control and run RPV. Morgan Griffith assumes that one day and maybe soon that he will be Speaker of the House of Delegates. Perhaps this is some twisted evil plan of his to put in his boy, his lackey Jeff Frederick in control of RPV so we actually loose seats in the house so he can replace Speaker Bill Howell. Well I for one say go back the House Caucus room and play all the games you want but the Republican Party of Virginia is my party and all of our party and you cant have it. We will fight you and we will beat you. The District Chairman have had to really take on the responsibility to run this party ever since Jeff was elected. Im sure they will continue if some how this junta keeps control and takes the RPV name away from us. In closing, you guys can sit in the RPV offices all you want, the real RPV is in the hearts and souls of each one of us out in the field fighting for Virginia and our families future.
Lee Talley,
I can’t contest to your info on Morgan Griffith but I can assure you Jeff Frederick never worked with me in any way against Jim Gilmore before or after the convention. He did not work in any way with Patrick Muldoon other than his official capacity as Chairman of the Party, nor did any member of RPV. You have your facts WRONG sir. I would like to know where you come up with such false information. It is like people are piling on Jeff with the most outlandish rumors that are not true sir.
You have your info wrong and it is negligent on your part to perpetuate such false claims.
You are a disgrace to our party to say such things about Patrick Muldoon candidacy. Maybe we can meet face to face one day and you can say it directly to myself. I doubt you have the courage or the spine for such. You sir, are a disgrace to our party.
Sincerely,
Steve Waters
You sure are full of yourself, Waters. I’ll have no problem telling you to your face that Muldoon is a loser. Or him either, for that matter. Give me a break!

As an astute commenter pointed out, Frederick has a huge case of Napoleonic Complex.
How dare you sinister serpents sully the good name of Steve Waters and Patrick Muldoon?!
I for one am tired of all the mercantilist tyrants at this site and other so-called conservative blogs pumping out pusillanimous putrid pulsing lies about good men like Patrick Muldoon. When Judgment Day comes, those on the side of Muldoon will find eternal life (such as myself and Steve Waters) and you shall all find nothing but blackness as reward for your tyranny and worship of the GOP’s golden calf Bill Bolling!
The Sword of 1000 Truths is my new favorite blog poster. Just saying.
One definite truth is Muldoon is a complete loser. I can’t comment about much else though. I am absolutely sure about that.
Is that t in disguise???
I think this is the first use of “mercantilist” in Virginia Virtucon.
Chris, Sword of One Definite Truth, Loudoun Insider, and Light Horse: You may all engage in your snarky laughter against my righteous message but it discourages me not. Gaze upon the site of Patrick Muldoon at Muldoon2009.com and look into the eyes of Patrick Muldoon’s disembodied head floating above the Governor’s Mansion. Could it be floating there because he is a holy ghost, nay, THE Holy Ghost?!
The Lord sends messages to me through many channels and often hides his messages in the most hidden of all places such as the Muldoon website. This is so that only I can see them and I can spread the word! IT IS A TEST OF YOUR FAITH, FOLLOW MULDOON OR JOIN CHARON ON HIS LONELY JOURNEY TO YOUR ULTIMATE FATE!!
Sword does seem to accurately protray the mindset of most known Muldoon supporters.
I’ll try to tread carefully, Sword.
Steve,
Lovely tone of voice for someone fighting such a righteous crusade for conservatism in Virginia.
As for you working with Jeff… How about things like the “Convention Committee” you pressured RPV into setting up to investigate any possible wrong doing at the last convention. The lady who headed up this witch hunt was a Ms. Mary Rose Lalli who is the Muldoon Pac treasurer and how about Jeff not attending LG Bolling’s fundraiser. Oh and by the way I will take Barr Pharmaceuticals insurance agent over their lawyer any day of the week. Mr. Muldoon’s law firm represents Barr Pharmaceuticals. So by his and your twisted logic Mr. Muldoon’s paycheck comes from the morning after pill too. Take that for what you will people.
However one thing in your threatening post you wrote me that you didnt deny…. That you are working with the House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith to besmirch the good name and candidacy of Bill Bolling.
Why after tying himself to Jeff Frederick twice by nominating him for the Chairmanship, and then coming to his rescue when Jeff’s loose twitter firmly put the Senate back in Democrat hands; Is Morgan sending Jeff Ryer to work at RPV. Perhaps even Morgan Griffith realizes the level of incompetence that is our lovely chairman.
What you see here people is that there is a group of people trying to take RPV from the real grass roots. Its the Steve Waters, Muldoon, Jeff Frederick, Morgan Griffith’s of the world.
Oh and btw Steve, I will be attending the state convention so I will meet you and say all this to your face. I do have the courage of my convictions and whatever few guts it would take to stand up to a bully like you. I put my name on all my posts. Wrong or Right I stand by what I say. I dont run and hide from people like Jeff Frederick did from Mike Thomas and then scurry away like a little rat. I’m a grown man and can back up my convictions. Can you?
Wow… Steve where are you Steve. You and the rest of your cabal wanting to take our party over. I’m here… I’m laughing at all of you…
Lee,
You’re a sore loser.
The “real grass roots that go out and fight and build and work hard for this party” you refer to are the same people who overwhelmingly rejected you and your online bile at the end of last May by selecting a non-establishment conservative as chairman. It’s clear that you don’t like the stomping your candidate took, but the best thing for the party would be for you to put up another candidate when the time comes instead of doing your utmost to hamstring the winner by that he is trying to take over the party (Newsflash: he already took it over, about 8 months ago).
I’m not saying every person who wants to oust the chairman is a sore loser, but you obviously are. One can tell from the content and tenor of your remarks (e.g., “scurry like a little rat”) that you feel weak and cheated, and are longing to lash out at your perceived oppressors. I hope these outbursts have some therapeutic value, and that they at least make you feel better. (And do please wipe the froth and spittle off your keyboard…it’s unsanitary).
I can say we definitely agree on one thing, and that’s that Muldoon and his people are doing a terrible disservice to the GOP cause by undermining Bill Bolling, who is about as fine an example of a Republican leader as anyone can hope for. I hope Muldoon gets booed off the stage in May. Can you point me to any evidence that Jeff Frederick is actually supporting him over an incumbent of his own party? (Or do you just assume it because it sounds like a good addition to the “twisted evil plan” that has so badly wronged you?) James Young had a post about that on his site on January 13 (something like “Frederick disses Bolling by not showing at a fundraiser”), but it appears to have been removed. I’ve not seen anything else to that effect.
The why in the world did he take down McDonnell’s and Bolling’s photos from the RPV website masthead a while back? They recently put McDonnell back up, but not Bolling. And for the longest time the featured candidate on the left sidebar was dipshit Muldoon.
I was not a Frederick fan for Chairman either but was willing to give him a chance, even though I just knew he would make an ass of himself. He’s done that and more, so much more. He’s a national level embarrassment and he must go.
LI: I can respect your opinion, and I appreciate that you offer a reasoned argument. I think the embarrassment angle is overdone, and that once seized upon by the echo chamber predisposed to hate Frederick it blossoms into something far out of proportion to the original goofs/gaffes/blunders. I’m sure if he had the chance to do a few things over again he’d avoid some, but let’s be honest: Obama and Osama actually DO both have friends who bombed the Pentagon, and the excoriation heaped upon Frederick for pointing it out says more about those doing the heaping than it does about him. I’m not saying that what he said wasn’t a mistake or even a bad exercise of judgment, only that he doesn’t deserve the treatment that resulted, especially from fellow Republicans who should know how conservative blood in the water only stokes a media feeding frenzy. I know this is only one example of many that you could list, but the same principle applies to those in varying degrees. I’ll grant you that at some point such things become too much of a distraction/handicap, but I don’t think that point has been reached and I think the voters who put Frederick in his office deserve a chance for him to perform. (And 2008 was not such a chance).
With respect to the RPV.org masthead, I obviously can’t speak with authority about that, but I think it’s just as likely that you’re reading too much into that. (Does it mean that Frederick disfavors Rob Wittmann because he has Eric Cantor on the masthead? I know they’re not opponents, but it seems reasonable to assume that RPV is not playing favorites but rather highlighting those in top positions.)
And again, speaking without any knowledge other than what you’ve just told me, it also seems less likely that Frederick is favoring Muldoon than that he is being assiduously fair (by not giving pride of place to one candidate over another). I can imagine the howls of unfairness that would come from a certain set at the Convention if it were otherwise. I haven’t followed this, so maybe there is some inside dirt I’m missing, but I think it’s unfair to leap to the conclusion that Frederick has something against Bolling when his behavior in this regard is equally consistent with his role as an impartial arbiter.
Steve,
First let me say I am glad to see even through all this we can find common ground. Muldoon is truly a waste of time and a pittance of a candidate. Look Steve Waters even people who support JFred can’t stand your candidate. Could you have found a better candidate Mr. Watters? Where was Marshall Coleman…. at least he actually could get some votes.
Now back to you Mr. Albertson I would love to say that yes I am lashing out against some oppressor but no I am not. Perhaps you have a hard time understanding my verbal flair for this debate but then again you are one of the many sheep for follow JFred and his crowd. Jeff is no candidate of the grass roots but a TOOL, a PAWN put in place by Morgan Griffith and Waters / Marshall / McSweeney crowd. JFred is controlled by them for their own nefarious means.. Look at what Loudon Insider is saying, go read the FEC databases. Go see how Frederick is using his PAC and his campaign accounts and now his control of RPV to his own financial gain. JFred isn’t being fair about the LG race. He doesn’t support Bill Bolling at all. JFred is nothing but the Tool of Morgan Griffiths agenda to take over the House, take over RPV, and to eventually try to put his own people in the Senate as well. Call the Majority Leader. Tell him to issue a press release strongly supporting Bill Bolling. Tell him to get his guy out of RPV before it destroys his career.
I find it telling the RPVNetwork. The network for the JFred wing of the party. Has their Support Jeff group. They have emailed all their users. Over 1,000 grass roots activists who Jeff supposedly represents. Yet you know how many have signed on to their “Fan Club”? 60 people… SIXTY….
Wow what a astonishing amount of support. Thats just barely more than the Republican Senate Caucus who wants him out. Come on… Its over.
Again glad to see common ground being made and our party coming together as one on a very key fact… Muldoon = FAIL
Have you guys heard the latest – that frederick is threatening to run for GOVERNOR as an independent if he is forced out as RPV Chairman??? I need to do some more digging on this one, but of course it is totally believable with Little Napoleon.
Is the best argument for ousting Jeff Frederick one can come up with is that he did not attend Bill Bolling’s fundraiser? How many fundraisers for Bob Marshall did John Hager attend? The answer is NONE. John Hager made no secret of his support of Gilmore prior to the 2008 GOP convention. How can the party be anything but divided when the GOP leadership marginalizes some of it’s own candidates, in favor of others who are on the same side against the Dems? Has it not occurred to anyone that the choice to remove Bolling’s picture from the masthead could be out of fairness to the two GOP candidates for LG ?
To blame Jeff for the mess that has been at RPV over the last 5-10 years is just a way for the Republican Party to stay in denial over the core problems that exist in our Party. If Jeff is actually guilty of something then let’s look at the charges. But if Jeff is being used as a scapegoat so that the Virginia GOP doesn’t have to address the failures of some of our Republican elected officials to live by conservative principles, how will we ever win elections? It is those failures and this power grab by the SCC that divides the party, not Jeff Frederick’s leadership.
When our candidates, the SCC, and the party demonstrates, through their actions that they value and believe in the Republican Creed, and unify in support of one another, we will win elections again.
Jeff Frederick won the election fair and square. This action by the SCC is the equivalent of impeachment and I have seen nothing impeachable here. If there are such offenses, why won’t the SCC be fair and put the charges out there for ALL to see and let the grassroots decide. Oh yeah, they’ve determine they ARE the grassroots.
