Valley Republican Welfare Queens

With all of the yip-yap from Valley Republicans about taxes, you should know that up in Fairfax County taxpayers see $0.83 of every tax dollar go to Richmond where it gets redistributed to the rest of the Commonwealth. I really don't think they care to hear about how high taxes are from a region of the state (The Valley) that takes more than it gives to Richmond. If you are going to be a Welfare Queen, the least you local Republicans could do is be grateful for the redistributed wealth of our city cousins. And don't forget to thank President Obama and Governor Kaine for paying to widen Port Road out to the hospital. Because your Delegate fought that funding tooth and nail.

How Low Will VA Republicans Go?

The Republican Party of Virginia has sent out mailer comparing Barack Obama to Ahmadinijead, Kim Jong-Il, Putin, Chavez. It states, "America Must Look Evil in the Eye" Printed Over Photo of Eyes Some Believe to be Obama's.

The mailer falsely purports to be an "Official Absentee Ballot Request" and is an attempt to not only scare voters with lies about Barack Obama, it is designed to disenfranchise voters who may be confused by the absentee ballot misinformation. You may not receive this slime, but a neighbor probably did. The RPV likely targeted it to independents and weak Republican voters who don't especially like McCain.

This is the handiwork of the despicable Jeff Frederick, chair of Virginia Republican Party and close confidant of many Shenandoah Valley GOP activists. Republicans don't play to the lowest common denominator, they go even lower.
