I guess no other Republican candidate wanted to go on the record about this (Burke is a Democrat) because of The GOP’s 11th commandment (”Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican”). Guys and gals–If you’re interested in your party’s long-term viability and the short-term results of this election, I suggest a 12th commandment: “Thou shalt suspend The 11th Commandment when your fellow Republican commits illegal acts in an attempt to gain electoral advantage.”

Interesting use of "your" party?
Will I guess Dean better tell people to stop calling him Governor, because he isn't one anymore. It's always been my understanding that you get to keep the highest title you've obtained.
Who is the Reagan-Republican in this race. Is there a self made man, religious, conservative, etc. The type of guy who'd side with Duncan Hunter over women in combat or homosexualizing the military
It's common courtesy to call people by their former titles.
If I'm not mistaken, I think a person holds the title "Congressman" as long as they don't go into a higher office (Senate, President, Governor, Ambassador, etc.).
I always thought McEwen was more of the enthusiastic "Reagan Conservatives" in the House. But then came the check bouncing scandal.....
None of this is surprising. This is a guy who bounced 166 checks at the House Bank. He's lived in Virginia for the past 12 years, and only moved into the district to run for Congress. What's a misleading title to a guy like that?
Bob McEwen has no more integrity in his political life than Bill Clinton or Pat DeWine have in their personal lives. He is a carpetbagging, check-bouncing opportunist who needs to be stopped.
