Virginia's Democratic-controlled state Senate passed measures Monday that would make it illegal to require individuals to purchase health insurance, a direct challenge to the party's efforts in Washington to reform health care. But the action in Virginia, a state that backed Obama in 2008, could indicate that the president is failing to reassure members of his own party that current reform efforts remain worthwhile. The votes also suggest that Democrats on the state level fear ...

"“Conventions by nature force candidates and campaigns to focus on a very small group of party activists,” said Phil Cox, executive director of the Republican Governors Association and a longtime Virginia-based strategist. He grimaced at the successful movement by conservative activists in his state earlier this year to switch from a primary system to a convention system. “If the goal is actually to win elections, holding more primaries would be a good start.” [Ah, and ...

From what I understand, Libertarians do not believe in government regulation or assistance. The West Virgina area recently had a chemical spill making all the available water totally unuseable except for flushing toilets. Hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants are all unable to do their jobs. An etimated population of almost half a million people are affected, as well as the animals. I wonder who all drank the water before this chemical spill was identifie ...

By Daniel TencerFriday, March 5th, 2010 -- 5:27 pm Officials and student leaders at Virginia colleges are reacting mutedly, so far, to an order from state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli that the schools stop protecting LGBT students. In a letter (PDF) sent to the state's public colleges and universities and obtained by the Washington Post, Cuccinelli declared that the schools don't have the authority to uphold bans on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation when the state ...

So, tomorrow the Supreme Court goes on their annual 3-month vacation. When do they expect to rule on the Healthcare Act? There are a slew of dates from May 10, 2010 through Sept. 2012. Anyone want to bet they'll push it off until after the 2012 election? The U.S. Supreme Court declined an opportunity to review President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul, rejectingVirginia’s bid to have its challenge to the law considered on an unusual fast-track basis. Virginia, one of ...

Princeton Community Hospital in rural West Virginia will scrap and replace its entire computer network after being struck by the cyberattack paralyzing computers globally. The cyberattack, known as Petya, froze the hospital's electronic medical record system early Tuesday, leaving doctors unable to review patients' medical history or transmit laboratory and pharmacy orders, said Rose Morgan, the hospital's vice president of patient care services. Officials were unable to r ...

"the state wants to “wave a magic wand” and read the broad anti-sodomy law as protecting minors. But the law “does not mention the word ‘minor,’ " From The Washington Post The High Court It is not the headline that Ken Cuccinelli II would have written, of course. But considering the flak Virginia’s attorney general has received for pressing his defense of the commonwealth’s “crimes against nature” law to the Supreme Court, C ...

"A former rising star in the Republican Party, former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was red-faced and sobbing Thursday when a jury convicted him and his wife on multiple counts related to influence peddling while he was in office. After more than a month of sometimes soul-baring testimony, the federal jury issued guilty verdicts on 11 counts against McDonnell, while clearing him on two others. His wife, Maureen, was convicted on nine while cleared on four. The former first couple wept openly in ...

By Daniel TencerWednesday, April 7th, 2010 -- 1:45 pm Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is being accused of historical revisionism after reinstating the state's controversial Confederate History Month and declaring that the event won't focus on slavery because the issue is not "significant" enough in Virginia. "There were any number of aspects" to the Civil War, McDonnell said, explaining why he left slavery out of the proclamation announcing Confederate History Month. "Obviously, it i ...

be on the lookout for republican trickery. what with the stunts by the new govs in WI and OH immediately going after unions and the fallout from the disasterous NY loss over the Ryan plan, its pretty obvious the repub candidates are NOT going to say what they REALLY plan to do if elected. Do not be lulled into complacency by their low-wattage personalities. Sharks. sharks I tell you. If their mouths are moving, you know its a lie. ...

We simply have to make it so that no individual or entity in society has the ability to exert special influence on elections, either by means of wealth or position. I don't care if it's Soros, the Koch Brothers, the owner of a news channel, a corporation, or the editorial board of a newspaper. I say, keep your greedy hands off our elections! The most basic tenet of fair elections is that no one enjoys special privileges. We don't let any of these people v ...

Your Great Dictator is surrounding himself with a white supremacist, an avowed racist, a volatile former general, etc. I can't wait for the rest.

Voters are a lot smarter than the democrats wish. Glad they get it.

Quoting a pollster on TV just now, and "They suck lemons." (Question: Really negative?) "Omigod, beyond really negative." They're unhappy with everything and everyone, and most probably won't vote. Although they're notably less negative favoring the GOP side, that's hardly an endorsement. If there was a third candidate "those are the people who probably would switch there." Good news (I guess) for the democratic process is that this dispirited pool has shrunk over ...

do not respect those of us who did not vote for him. If I am concerned about where the country is headed; is that not my right to feel that way and to talk about it?

It's the government now being able to take money out of my accounts without my permission (in the Obama ...

...and that is just what I intend to do as a member of the "jury." Corruption on the staggering scale that Hillary and Bill Clinton have practiced MUST BE PUNISHED, and if the legal system cannot do it (or, more accurately, REFUSES to do it), then we the voters must do so by aborting any further political ambitions this pair of grifters might have. Hillary, the evidence is in, and it's indisputable. You're going down. ...

At Least 25 Million Dead and Fraudulent “Registered Voters” in 2016 Source: Kit Daniels A study revealing that over 800,000 non-citizens voted for Hillary Clinton doesn’t account for dead and fraudulent voters, which accounted for over 25 million “registered voters” during the 2012 presidential election – and little has changed since then. Illegal alien voters combined with dead and “multiple state” voters could easily explain Clinton’s &l ...
