A recent visitor asked the question will Dr. Kurt attempt to take another bite out of the apple in the upcoming County elections with help from the Staunton Newsleader and Ms. Mitchell. No definitive information on that yet but a little research resulted in several references to both M&M and even the "Miss-Leader" in the internet world......
The "Bull Elephant" had some interesting info as well as reflection on a "WaPo" article and the stance taken by some mentioned here. It seems both M&M are well known within the VA political world and are "well known" for their past practices and tactics used. But yet they continue:
- The WaPo’s 5th Column
Hilariously, the WaPo in its “journalism” piece last week interviewed only establishment malcontents in bashing RPV.
I said at the time that these malcontents should be banned from holding office in the party for collusion with our opponents. This now seems prescient.
From Ray Allen’s “I’ll bankrupt RPV” stance to Lynn Mitchell’s constant attacks on any Republican she does not agree with, and now spreading the WaPo’s attacks on the party, it is clear we have a cadre of people who do not agree with the party’s principles, and want it to be defeated.
These people constitute a “5th column” of Quislings who seek to damage the party if it does not become more like the Democrats- a party that is OK with growing government and limiting liberty, as long as it benefits them and their interests in the process.

Reading the above bit from the Bull-elephant piece brought back many past memories of the "Politics within the Politics" of Augusta County during an ugly period. A link to another Bull-elephant post reminded me of what was promised by somebody who eventually had to step down from a awarded Committee Chairmanship after a election where he did not have the majority of the citizens votes...
"According to an explosive new report by David Steinberg at PJ Media, Rep. Eric Cantor’s chief consultant, Ray Allen, has been telling people that he will essentially burn down the Republican Party of Virginia so that he and Cantor can assume control of its smoldering ruins."

Interesting rumblings going on and changes to the BOS are in the air
ReplyDeleteAlways something stirring with that bunch. Key is to get the facts and past history out there for people to see and know what they are dealing with....
ReplyDeleteAsking if Kurt wants to take another bite of the apple is like asking if the Pope is Catholic. The real question is does Lynn really have that much influence in Virginia politics? Surprised someone in NOVA felt compelled to blast her out of the water. Happy to see it though. She tried her best to divide the local GOP efforts when she was kicked out of power.
ReplyDeleteAfter speaking with some still involved in the local and VA politics many things have changed regarding these two over the past few years. Now the "Majority" know and see them for the tactics used over the years. "SwacGirl" was at one time a good worker but lost direction and was led down a route that many now see it for what it is...
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Swacster's Little GrassHopper has an opponent who has a good story and background of service. If the local GOP and he are smart they will do the hard work and analysis needed to oust this Gangmember. If he waits until the last month to get his message out and an influx of Emmett Hanger's cash for a mass mailing on the weekend before election (like the woefully unprepared Jeremy Shiflet) then Karaffa probably wins.
ReplyDeleteWow, need to look into this and good to hear somebody is challenging and keeping these guys "Honest".....
ReplyDeleteHave not seen anything in media. As soon as you see a name or a announcement please post it....
ReplyDeleteWow what a turn of events. Karaffa is out and piecing together the quotes, not under the best of circumstances(not clear exactly what happened).
ReplyDeleteI saw that in the news this morning.... Will be interesting to see what happens and where everybody falls on it...
