Billy Currington: "How Country Boys Roll" and FISH....








Just had this video sent up to me by my good friend Captain Mike who runs the Compass Rose light tackle boat out of Key West. Looks like he had some of the "Country Boys" come down to do some fishing in the Florida Keys and they decided to make a video....

Captain Mike also maintains a blog on the side with recent catch photos...

Lt. Governor Bill Bolling at Harisonburg GOP Headquarters...



Lt. Governor Bill Bolling stopped by the Harrisonburg GOP Headquarters today to speak with volunteers and other supporters coming into the last full month before the election. He was greeted by many volunteers who came early to see the Lt. Governor before they started phone banking and calling area citizens to support the GOP ticket in November...
.
The Lt. Governor spoke about the positive and productive tact that the GOP team has maintained all through the campaign and how the Citizens of Virginia have responded to the positive message with realistic solutions...
.
From what I have seen on the blogs tonight they are reporting the new polling numbers coming out that have Bob McDonnell extending his lead once again...
.

Several media representatives were also there....

The reason why Deeds won't debate...

The reason why Creigh Deeds has refused numerous requests for debates with Bob McDonnell on FoxNews and Chris Wallace is the same reason why President Obama did all of the other media outlets but did not do Chris Wallace...

.

Wallace is going to ask you the HARD questions and not let you "Spin" yourself out of the original question. He comes with the research and facts to back the hard questions up and will be fair in the selection of his questions. I would like to have seen Wallace as McDonnell about the thesis issue and the answer from McDonnell for I am sure McDonnell would have addressed it without hesitation...

.

On the other hand both Deeds and President Obama will not come on FoxNews with Wallace after many requests. With the highest viewer counts over the years it would be a great opportunity for both of these guys to take their message to the people. Wallace is the next Tim Russert is his preperation and asking of hard questions backing them up with facts. Russert was very good and that was evident with his tenure at Meet the Press...

"Democrat" Candidate Greg Marrow thinks our tax money is "FREE" money?...




Democratic Party Candidate Greg Marrow is running for the Delegate seat representing the VA 25th-district and during a debate last night stated that the $125 million dollars from the stimulus package not used for VA unemployment was"Free" money and "was lost to other states"

.

If you watch the video you will hear people in the audience attending the debate call out that this was not free money and "Out of my pocket"... 25 seconds into the video...

.

Please note the look on the Democratic Candidates face, along with the eye-roll and smirk, once the people he hopes to represent in Richmond, correct him on his idea of "Free" money and that money actually coming out of their pockets...








Marrow then goes on to pitch the idea of raising the taxes paid by corporations in Virginia for Virginia has "one of the lowest tax rates, its the fourth lowest in the country, and maybe we need to look at that"...

.

I found this idea by Marrow very interesting for I have heard and read many times how Marrow feels not enough has been done to attract new jobs to the Valley. Maybe Virginia is rated one of the best States for business growth in the country because we have low corporate taxrates? Simple economics shows that corporations will move towards States that have lower State taxes thus allowing the corporations to invest their profits back into companies in better benefits, more jobs, more efficient locations, and yes better profits for the shareholders. Over 50% of the population is invested in the stock market with their 401k and retirement plans...

.

Anybody with simple knowledge of economic policies understands that "CORPORATIONS DO NOT PAY TAXES"!!!...

The consumer, you and me pays the increased taxrate in the price of the product we buy. Increased corporate tax rates result in corporations moving to other States and countries to avoid having their earned profits confiscated by the government. Look at the European countries and their growth rates over the last decade after they finally understood lower taxes increases productivity and incentive to work!!...

.

"Democrat" Candidate Greg Marrow is obviously on the "Stage One" level of the economic plan as described by Thomas Sowell in many of his books. What we need representing us in Richmond is a person that can see past the "Stage One" and onto levels that encourages smart and efficient growth in our economy...

.

Republican Delegate Steve Landes understands this and has done a great job representing us in Richmond. We need to keep him looking out for us as Delegate of the 25th district...

The Priorities of the Candidates....

Mudcat... Is that more "Rednecks" per square mile or percapita?.... What kind of campaign is Deeds running?...


While working in Harrisonburg yesterday all of the talk was how President Jimmy Carter was coming to JMU to speak and receive a award for his humanitarian works over the years. Several of my co-workers were excited to have the former President coming to town but they did not seem to want to discuss Carter's comments recently where he made it apparent that he feels those who do not support President Obama and his policies are racist in their attitudes. "There is a feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be President"...



So in effect if I do not support President Obama's take over of General Motors, a failed Stimulus package, plans to take over\regulate the health care industry, and massive growth and spending in government agencies, I am a "Racist"?...
.
Then I get home only to find that longtime Democratic Strategist David "Mudcat" Saunders stated that there are "More Rednecks on route 1 in Alexandria than the sixth district of Virginia"... in a strategy call with operatives and the campaign of Creigh Deeds who is running for Governor of Virginia...
.


Besides the obvious "racist" comment made by "Mudcat" to the campaign workers of Creigh Deeds campaign, the question now is: What kind of campaign is Creigh Deeds running and what will they do next?
.
Creigh Deeds early on in his campaign brought on a political strategist Levar Stoney who was involved in a incident during the Kerry\Edwards campaign where he knew of operatives responsible for slashing the tires on vehicles rented by the local GOP to take voters to polling places. He only admitted knowledge of this incident once the FBI came a calling and now Creigh Deeds has this guy working on his campaign to become the Governor of Virginia?....
.
.
And let's not forget the efforts by the Creigh Deeds campaign in blocking up to 90% of the Bob McDonnell and GOP campaign signs with Deeds campaign signs during the recent Buena Vista Labor Day parade. This was more than simple "Sign Wars" tactics but a blatant act of desperation from a campaign that will do anything to promote their candidate. In fact another local Democratic Party candidate in the past, David Cox, has even awarded these tactics with his "Bee-Vee" award for winning the "Sign War" at the Buena Vista parade...
Fortunately this was viewed by many at the parade and within the media for what it was and showed how the citizens and voters of Virginia are tired of "Dirty politics" and tactics like these...



.
.
Just last week Creigh Deeds showed his frustration with his performances during the debates with Republican Bob Mcdonnell when he snapped at a reporter who was trying to pin Deeds down on taxes and where he was going to get revenue for all of his proposed spending projects...


We have all been asking for sometime "When will they ask Deeds the hard questions" and we now see how he reacts once pressed on how he intends to fund all of these "Progressive" ideas he would implement if elected Governor...

.

Numerous times Deeds has said that he would give tax credits for any business that creates a new job but many in the media and news services have failed to ask Deeds how would he fund this and what restrictions on a "New Job"?....

.

What type of "Job"?

Full time & Part time?

How long at Job?

How much of a "credit"?

How long will this program last?

Are "Undocumented" workers hired eligible?

In all industries or a select few?...

Are "Rednecks", as Mudcat Saunders describes them, eligible?...



Good looking Team, Good looking Sign...
