"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...

Mr. Deeds, see any "Hint of racism" here?...


At a recent debate between the candidates running for Governor of Virginia, Democratic Party candidate Creigh Deeds stated that there "is a hint of racism that is crystal clear" regarding those who do not agree with President Obama...
.
I wonder if Deeds feels the same "hint of racism" when he looks at the actions of President Obama's Dept of Justice and the dismissal of charges against the individuals who were blocking and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last year?...
.





The Washington Times has a follow up article of this incident and the actions of the Obama administration regarding the dismissal of charges...
.
"What say you" Mr. Deeds?...

Which way is the wind blowing today?...

Creigh Deeds plan as Governor... "Trust Me"?...

Over at the Washington Examiner is a article describing the differences between Candidates Bob McDonnell and Creigh Deeds when it comes to the transportation issue, the solutions, and how to fund them...
.
The article describes how Bob McDonnell has numerous ideas and plans to remedy the transportation problem within Virginia and several ways to fund these ideas...
.
The Democratic candidate, Creigh Deeds on the other hand has little answers or proposals and in fact the best he can come up with is a "Trust Me" attitude as described in the Washington Examiner article...
.
In fact Deeds gets a little upset with you if you ask him how he will fund his solutions and if a tax increase would be involved if the people "Trust Him" and elect him as Governor...
.



Once again this article shows that Bob McDonnell has answers to the hard questions that face the next Governor of Virginia and plans regarding issues such as transportation.

Deeds on the other hand has little to bring to the table and when pressed for answers on funding he gives the citizens of Virginia little reason to "Trust Him"...

David Cox and his "Bee~Vee" Awards...


David Cox, who recently has failed to attract enough support and votes to win elections to both State Senate and House of Delegates positions, has kept busy writing a column for the Rockbridge Weekly newspaper regarding local politics...
.

Just recently he has come up with the "Bee-Vee" awards regarding the events that occur during the annual Buena Vista Labor Day Parade which historically kicks off the final push towards election day in early November...
.

David Cox even came up with an award for the Political Sign Competition that happens every year during this parade between the two major political parties in the parade. Unfortunately it appears Cox views the actions of the Deeds campaign and the local Democratic party and their efforts to obstruct and block the view of the opposing party campaign signs as something worthy of a "Bee~Vee Award"...



"This year's winner of the Sign Wars is... Creigh Deeds, and the Dems. Both sides had thousands out. Republican Bob McDonnell came close to winning for having more big ones. But, reversing the old adage about early birds catching worms, the Deeds staffers crept in after their GOP counterparts and placed signs carefully in front of the Republican ones. Or perching atop them."

"Creigh's (Deeds) Army wins the first annual Sign Wars Award"...

David Cox as reported in AFP...

.

More photos and text regarding the "Sign abuse" that David Cox celebrates and awards can be found here...

.

This display of Dirty Campaign tactics was noticed by many attending the parade along with the media outlets and in fact several even wrote into the Rockbridge Weekly to comment of these tactics...

Letter to the Rockbridge Weekly by a local resident can be found here...

.

It is obvious that the voters of the Rockbridge and surrounding areas made the correct choice during the prior elections regarding David Cox and his values...
