Proof Ron Paul is not a Republican
A website called “blue republican” is urging democrats to switch to Republican, to vote for the loon of the century Ron Paul. Just what we need in the Republican party, a bunch of code pink nuts. More proof Ron Paul is not what we need in the GOP.

Virginia Tech has named the campus police officer who was shot and killed.
He was 39-year-old Deriek Crouse, of Christiansburg. WSLS had learned who the officer was, but held off from reporting his name until Virginia Tech formally released it.
Crouse joined the Virginia Tech Police Department in October of 2007, and is survived by his wife, five children and step-children.
Officer Crouse was also a member of the Virginia Tech Police emergency response team, since February of this year.

Great analysis on Virginia’s election
The Wall Street Journal has a great analysis on the elections in Virginia.
State House Minority Leader Ward Armstrong felt compelled to run an ad protesting that it was a “stretch” for his GOP opponent to “compare me to Barack Obama.” After all, he was “pro-life, pro-gun and I always put Virginia first.” (Mr. Armstrong lost on Tuesday.)
Virginia Democrats were happy to identify with one top official: Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell, who is providing a lesson in the benefits of smart GOP governance in battleground states. Criticized as being too socially conservative for Virginia when he was elected in 2009, Mr. McDonnell has won over voters by focusing on the economy and jobs. His approval ratings are in the 60s, and he helped raise some $5 million for local candidates. He’s popular enough that Democrats took to including pictures of him in their campaign literature, and bragging that they’d worked with him.
Sure seems that Virginia is a dark red state again. I seriously do not see Obama winning Virginia next year, nor do I see Tim Kaine winning his senate election against George Allen.

Caroline County – Post Election
While I do not live in Caroline County anymore, my family still does and my dad, Reinhardt Watson was running for Board of Supervisor’s in the Port Royal District. Since this is the case, I am going to do a post-election post on the county’s election from last night.
My dad was in a 3-way race against 2 do nothing career politicians, Nancy Long, a “Republican” and Calvin Taylor, a Democrat. Calvin Taylor spent 16 years on the Board of Supervisor’s before being defeated by Bobby Popowicz in 2008. During those 16 years on the Board Calvin Taylor brought no jobs, no new businesses, and did not improve the quality of life of the residents of the Port Royal District. Nancy Long has spent 12 years in elected positions in the Town of Port Royal, including Mayor. Port Royal still looks like the Port Royal of 1800;the Town has no businesses, no jobs, and lacks anything that would improve the quality of life for residents. The Town even lacks a park, through one has been budgeted since the 1990′s. Since this is the case, I would determine that Nancy Long has done absolutely nothing for the Town of Port Royal. Hence the status quo in the county continues with the “re” election of Calvin Taylor.
The Caroline County Republican Party leadership is inept and leaderless at best and corrupt at worse. Selecting Nancy Long as a candidate was another example of the county committee selecting a person who was not really a Republican. Long, does not believe in personal-property rights, has given money to Democrat candidates, and does not in any way uphold the values and platform of the Republican Party of Virginia. The Leadership of the county party, Jeff Sili, who also does not believe in personal-property rights, supports no growth in the county, and picks fake republican’s to run as candidates. Sili also has his head so far up the butt of any big time Republican in an effort to make himself look important. Sili has destroyed any organization of the Caroline County Republican Party, they have no website, no funds, Sili has been censured by RPV, and has back stabbed and bad mouthed on numerous occasions other elected Republican’s. Guess what, in Sili’s 4 years on the Board of Supervisor’s, what has he done for the county to make it a better place to live or start a business, answer-nothing. It would figure that he would get re-elected last night.
In the Sheriff’s race, current Sheriff, Tony Lippa beat challenger Charles “Sonny” Garnett. Lippa, whose biggest supporter was recently indicted for embezzlement, is being sued for civil rights violations, and openly campaigned for a challenger to incumbent Commonwealth’s Attorney, Tony Spencer, due to Lippa having a personal vendetta against Spencer. Lippa has made the Caroline Sheriff’s Officer his personal fiefdom , by hiring family members to positions within the department and firing or running off anybody who opposed him. Well, Lippa also won re-election.
It makes me wonder why people chose the same screwed up, do nothing, corrupt politicians over and over again and then complain about the government and what it does or does not do. Caroline County will continue to have a lower quality of life as compared to surrounding counties over the next 4 years. this is due to the decisions and choices of the voter’s of Caroline. Unemployment will continue to be high and jobs unavailable due to electing politicians who do not support growth and do not make the county a business friendly county. The county will lose millions of dollars, due to Lippa’s lawsuit. M0ney that could have hired people, repaired schools, and improved the quality of life for Caroline Residents. Caroline, you had choices but yet again you elected the same “good old boy” politicians. In 4 years, Caroline residents you only have yourself to blame when the county is still the same.
Than you to, Reinhardt Watson, James “Whit” Whitmer, and Charles “Sonny” Garnett for trying to improve Caroline and by having the heart to go through with a campaign, and try to make Caroline a better place with your ideas and visions.

How 9/11 changed me
On September 11th 2001, my views and my life changed drastically. I went from being a liberal to being much more conservative. My outlook on life changed and I discovered what I wanted to do in life. Before 9/11 I had no real career choice and no real motivation to go to college. The events that happened on 9/11 made me realize that there was pure evil in the world and that these evil people cared not how many civilians they killed or how they killed them.
This made me realize that the Israelis were right in their dealings with the Palestinians, before 9/11 I had supported the Palestinians. I understood now that Republicans were stronger on national defense and would deal with the threat of terrorism as a military matter and not as just a law enforcement matter as Bill Clinton had done for 8 years while president. I was glad that I had voted for George W. Bush, the year before. He stood tall as a leader and started the process of hunting down the murderers responsible for almost 3,000 deaths on 9/11. 9/11 has shaped my current views on why the PATRIOT Act is the correct was to combat terrorism on a law enforcement level. It shaped my view on why the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in every other country that supports terrorism is the correct response to 9/11. President Bush was correct in his statement “That you are with us or against us”.
9/11 also changed my feature plans in life; because of 9/11 I had huge change in my feelings towards law enforcement. Before 9/11 I would have never thought of a career in law enforcement. Now I have been a corrections and detention officer for most of the last 3 years. 9/11 made me go to school to further that career, that is now why I have an associate’s degree in police science from Germanna Community College, a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from American Public University, and I am now working on a master’s degree in homeland security. I also went into volunteer fire and rescue after 9/11, though I am still not involved in it, 9/11 made me realize that I want to help people in life.
More than anything 9/11 made me realize that there are true heroes out there, people who would give their lives just to save people. The 343 FDNY firefighter’s that rushed into the twin towers and saved thousands of people from death, while giving their own lives on that day. The 23 NYPD police officer’s who did the same and the 73 Port Authority police officer’s who also gave their all to save people. Or the numerous civilians that gave their lives saving people. Or the everyday Americans that saved many more by winning the first battle of the War on Terror by fighting evil on United 93. This is why every 9/11, I still shed tears for these heroes. These are my reason I will NEVER EVER FORGET 9/11/2001.
