On Saturday, I received a rather intriguing email from TheTeaParty.net entitled “37 things you should horde…” Inside, it offers several links to a page promising “click here to discover the 37 critical items you need to stay alive and healthy (you won’t be able to buy these things later!)”. Given recent concerns with the value of [...]

Screwing Over Gary Johnson
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 2012 Presidential Primary, Gary Johnson, Republican Politics, Ron Paul on October 26, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Gary Johnson is not getting anything approaching a fair treatment from the media. The national press has constantly ignored him throughout the campaign season so far. Now I can hear the response from some of you already. But, he is a second tier candidate! Why should we care? To those sorts of statements I ask, [...]

On Thursday, four Senate candidates gathered in Verona to participate in the Shenandoah Valley Tea Party’s debate. These participants include three Republicans, Tim Donner, E. W.

Debate Revealed the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Posted in Political Musings, tagged 2012 Senate Race, Debate, Karen Kwiatkowski, Virginia on October 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
VC Note: I received this article yesterday from Karen Kwiatkowski, a Republican candidate for Virginia’s sixth district House of Representatives seat. She writes concerning last week’s debate in Verona between four of the U.S. Senate candidates. The Shenandoah Valley Tea Party Patriots debate for U.S. Senate candidates was revealing. Some of the good: All candidates [...]
A Raw Deal
Posted in Political Musings, tagged Israel, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Palestine, Prisoner Exchange on October 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
One hot story currently in the news involves a prisoner exchange between Israel and Palestine. Given the continual clashes between the two, I suppose a swap of detainees shouldn’t be too surprising. However, the terms of the deal do seem a little lopsided. In return for the release of one Israeli soldier, Israel is letting [...]
Radtke Withdraws!

Over the weekend, I received some very disappointing news. Republican Senate candidate Jamie Radtke has decided to withdraw from the Shenandoah Valley Tea Party’s October 20th Senate debate. Citing that former Governor George Allen will not be participating, the Radtke campaign announced that they too would be absent despite an earlier commitment to attend. In [...]
