Gilmore shifts gears for dough (A time to stand up and be counted)

Gilmore last month reconstituted his campaign committee to simultaneously feed three: his Senate effort, the cash-strapped Republican Party of Virginia and the debt-laden corpse of his brief presidential bid.

The Gilmore camp, having already repaid the millionaire candidate his 50-large loan from the spring, says this is about efficiency. It's legit, too.

As confidante Boyd Marcus -- his consultantcy is due nearly $30,000 of the $131,000 owed by the Gilmore prez committee -- said, "it allows you to ask for more money legally, and I emphasize legally, with one phone call."

Donors have the honor of helping one, two or all three entities, though it's possible they may never know they have a choice. If they did, some might be disinclined to give at all, given Gilmore's status as GOP pariah.

His is a remarkable transformation, too, and likely attributable to a what-you-see-is-what-you-get personality that obscures a record of which a more engaging Republican would be proud.

George Allen talked about it, but Gilmore delivered sustained tax relief and Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

Gilmore needs help to fight the good fight these last months before the election. Please help ($$$/volunteer if you can)


Here is a video of Mark Warner's making promises before he was elected governor.
He broke those promises and raised taxes by 1.4 billion dollars and did not complete the phase out of the Virginia car tax as he promised.
He also fought the marriage amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a women, refused to sign home school legislation, and vetoed a bill that would allow drilling off the Virginia coast.
He has been lying about being left a budget deficit which is untrue. Virginia has a balanced budget requirement and there was a surplus of 300 million in the last budget submitted by Gilmore plus over a billion dollars in the rainy day fund.. Warner like most liberal Democrats just wanted to spend more money so he raised taxes and broke his promise.

He had this to say about conservatives:

“One of the things you are going to see is a coalition that is just about completely taken over the Republican Party in this state and if they have their way it's going to take over state government. It is made up of the Christian Coalition, but not just them. It is made up of the right-to-lifers, but not just them. It's made up of the NRA, but not just them. It is made up of the home schoolers, but not just them. It's made up of a whole coalition of people that have all sorts of differing views that I think most of us in this room would find threatening to what it means to be an American.”


Help support Jim Gilmore, A Proven Conservative!

Gilmore Slams Mark Warner for Opposing Drilling!

He served in the military, cut taxes, reduced the rate of growth of state government, defended the unborn
and most importantly kept his promises.

Why would anyone willingly contribute to Gilmore's defunct Presidential campaign?

I think McCain will likely be the Republican nominee.
