The
reasons to vote Republican in Poquoson and
York County differ by candidate. The reasons
to vote for Jerry Kilgore for Governor, Bill
Bolling for Lt. Governor, Bob McDonnell for
Attorney General, and Tom Gear and Melanie
Rapp are different for each candidate.
The
fact that they are all Republican is good
enough for Party line voters. Yet, discerning
voters will find more compelling reasons. Here
is my take.
Jerry
Kilgore for Governor
The
reason to vote for Jerry over Democrat Tim
Kaine is more about character than issues.
Kilgore will end the car tax and death tax.
The budget surplus from the largest tax
increase in Virginia history, which Kaine
supported and Kilgore opposed, provides more
than enough money for the essential spending
and infrastructure needs.
Kilgore
is more trustworthy for the high office of the
Governor of the oldest democratic
representative state in the Western
Hemisphere. Kaine promises he will set aside
his lifelong and deeply held religious beliefs
to obey the will of The People and use the
death penalty to execute guilty criminals.
Kaine also promises he will set aside his
lifelong and deeply held religious beliefs to
stop the will of The People and veto any
restrictions on abortion of innocent babies.
Kaine promised in writing to not use clips
from a debate. Then Kaine took a poll to see
if the voters would be upset about him
breaking his word and making an attack ad from
the debate (Washington Post, Oct 26).
What kind of man takes a poll to see if it
will cost him politically to break his word?
Not someone who should be Governor of our
Commonwealth.
Bill
Bolling for Lieutenant Governor
The
reasons to vote for Bill over Leslie Byrne
flow off the lips. Bolling is an economic,
social, and defense Conservative. As a
Virginia Senator, Bill’s voting record is as
solid, dependable and courageous as his
beliefs. Bolling is the subject of personal
attacks from the most Liberal candidate in
Virginia’s history. Byrne is even more
Liberal than Kaine.
Bolling
deserves a protest vote against the politics
of personal destruction. Byrne’s specious
allegations are beneath Virginia’s standards
for public discourse.
Bolling
is the son of a coal miner rising to the
heights of public service. When Bill talks
about freedom, family and faith, he
understands it and means it because he has
lived it. Furthermore, Bill is one of the
brightest, most insightful analysts of how to
move the Commonwealth forward and change will
persevering the best – true Conservatism –
that I’ve seen in Virginia.
Bob
McDonnell for Attorney General
The
primary reasons to vote for Bob over Creigh
Deeds are the principles that guide his
politics. Bob is a Conservative. Bob is
dedicated to the public service he saw his
parents live in NoVa. He has served The People
in office and as a public prosecutor
throughout his adult life in Virginia Beach.
Deeds
served as public prosecutor too. While both
Deeds and McDonnell made out-of-court
settlements with child molesters for
reasonable legal reasons, Deeds let some
molesters go free without jail time. McDonnell
had every child molester locked up. That is a
key difference between Conservatives and
Liberals.
Melanie
Rapp for Delegate
Melanie
voted against the Tax hike in 04. Melanie is
unopposed.
Tom
Gear for Delegate
The
reasons to vote for Tom over Randy Gilliland
run deep. Tom has represented The People of
the 91st HD openly, honestly, and bravely. Tom
doesn’t push his agenda, but serves The
People’s requests. Tom sponsored the first
strong legislation to fight illegal
immigration. Tom fights tax increases. The
rich and powerful special interests who run
Hampton and Newport News hate that and him.
The people who profit from government, making
their living off the Commonwealth and
local taxes and spending, fought Tom bitterly
in 01, 03 and now 05. Same names, same money,
same politics. Except this time it has a
new low in mud-slinging.
Randy
is making more personal attacks than Byrne.
He has no issues. Take Kaine’s character
issues and multiply by one hundred to measure
how low Gilliland will go to buy the 91st HD
seat. Lifelong Democrat Gilliland won’t even
face the voters as a Democrat. He has the
Democrat Governor and all the local Dems to
his fund raiser. Gilliland spent almost $12k
for a private detective to dig up dirt on
Gear. The only dirt they could find is common
mistakes and business downturns from 15 years
ago.
Vote
for a representative who paid his taxes late
or a failed politician who is losing his job
in Hampton and will raise your taxes every
chance he gets. Vote for Gear who earned his
100 percent pro-family rating.
