In spite of this conservative group's good intentions, Virginia Republicans are following the national leadership into the drift to Rockefeller Republicanism.
The Virginia Senate Republicans are all for spending and tax increases. Many of them in the Senate and House refuse to take a stand or oppose any effort to control illegal immigration which is a scourge in far-from-the-border Virginia.
Their lead Republican office holder is the blow-dried Attorney General who speaks out of both sides of his mouth depending on the audience. He is for controlling the flood of illegal aliens to this group, then turns around and says he will not enforce Virginia law against hiring illegal aliens to that group. And he is the leading Republican for Governor in 2009.
Virginia is well on the way to becoming a solid blue state (Webb was not a fluke) because the voters who drifted away from the once overwhelming Democrat side are seeing that Republicans in power quickly lose their principles and become the devils they replaced.
did not know this- thanks oldbill- sad that we can't get a party to just run on principle and to live and die by moral dictates instead of being tossed all about by the winds of public's fickle opinion. http://sacredscoop.com
This is bad to hear. Hopefully the grassroots can correct this. Any chance Allen may be re-elected Gov.?
It should help that Ed Gillespie will be the new VA-GOP chair.
Can you direct me to a link to AG McDonnell's illegal immigration remarks? I hadn't heard about him not enforcing the VA laws against hiring illegals.
