More Disgust

I've been following the blogging regarding the recent LCRC meeting, and let me say (again) that I'm glad I wasn't there. Frankly, my time on Earth is far too precious to waste on bizarre political antics on the mirco-est of micro scale. Whether designed to discourage members from attending the entire meeting or the result of an earnest debate over some parliamentary question, the antics of Sell, Volpe and the rest of the wacko-wing of the LCRC sickens me.

I previously said that, with respect to the race for chairman of the LCRC, Sell threatens a return to the craziness that lead to RINO hunts and party-purges. Well. Tuesday night was exactly what you'd get all the time if Sell and crew came in.

Boy, do I hate being right all the time.

Most Disgusting Politician In My Lifetime

Worse than Nixon. Worse than Clinton, Trafficant, Blagojevich. By far.

This scum (a) has an affair (b)while his wife is suffering from cancer (c) lies about the affair (d) lies about the love child's paternity and then (e) convinces his wacked-out aide to take the fall. Of course, what more could you expect from a slimey ambulance-chaser

About time Elizabeth told him to pound sand.

One Year in Office - And Record Unpopularity

You'd never know it from the media, but President Obama's popularity is history making. Check out the latest Rasmussen poll that, a mere one year from his "epic" victory, puts his "strongly disapprove" rating near 40% with only 37% giving him a "strongly approve."

Harry Reid, Do You Hear Footsteps?

With the shocking win by a Republican in Massachusetts senatorial race, Harry Reid must be even more concerned. In fact, check out these poll numbers from Rasmussen. Reid would lose to any of the top three Republican candidates in a two way race. He's toast!

Can't wait!

Thinking About Donating to the Red Cross? Think Again.

It's an understatement to say the Red Cross does a great deal of good in the world, but don't believe that your contribution will directly make a difference in Haiti. Remember the huge outpouring of support for the Red Cross following 9/11? Painfully little went to actually help anyone affected by the attacks. Read the story here.

Herring to McDonnell Panel

Though he wasn't tapped for any position in the McDonnell Administration, the governor-elect did reach across the aisle and appoint Sen. Mark Herring to the new Technology Working Group advisory panel.

Now keep in mind, that there's no one else on the panel yet and it's only "advisory," but even still it does show some genuine bipartisanship as it is certain to give Herring a big boost in what will be a tough reelection campaign.

Something Akin to Academics

With a battle brewing over the chairmanship of the Loudoun County Republican Committee, let me say that I, like many blogging about it, don't know Strother and don't trust Sell. Though he has certainly put in his time, I fear that Sell will bring back the divisiveness of the Protic era. And, since I haven't even heard of anything she's done (as also seems to the case with other LCRC members), I wonder about Strother's agenda.

All that said, I'm reminded of a saying about the college faculty politics: they're so vicious because there is so little at stake. That's not that the LCRC chairmanship is nothing to care about; it's just that so many people get so worked up about something that, in the end, just isn't worth it.
