Comments on: Bomb Throwing in the Virginia AG’s Race http://www.delmarvadealings.com/2008/07/30/bomb-throwing-in-the-virginia-ags-race/ Political Dealings In and Around the Delmarva Peninsula Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:00:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: cageyd http://www.delmarvadealings.com/2008/07/30/bomb-throwing-in-the-virginia-ags-race/comment-page-1/#comment-4629 cageyd Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:31:23 +0000 http://www.delmarvadealings.com/?p=2512#comment-4629 It is amusing that somehow there is an impression that people are ganging up on John Brownlee and unmercifully attacking him. Everyone should be reminded that the entire hullaballoo that is being referenced was initiated by John Brownlee who somehow felt the need to assert that he was more pro-life than Ken Cuccinelli. It has been pointed out that Mr. Brownlee used questionable information/logic to reach that conclusion. End of story. If Mr. Brownlee initiates a controversy then he and his supporters must expect a response or Mr. Brownlee is too naive to have never have entered the political arena in the first place. What happened is not attacking someone. It is amusing that somehow there is an impression that people are ganging up on John Brownlee and unmercifully attacking him.

I just think you missed mine. Remember, I don't have a dog in this hunt anymore. I live in the Unfree State. However, as someone who will always be proud to be a Virginian I am concerned that we spend too much time eating our own rather than winning. I AM NOT advocating compromise of principle. What I do advocate is toning down the rhetoric a bit so that those that who don't totally agree with us are not frightened into the other camp come November. I would rather stand on principle and lose, than betray that principle. I just don't think that we have to do that as often as we seem to lately. BTW - thanks for weighing in. DJ -

What is more, Earley and Kilgore lost specifically because they ran as RINOs in 2001 and 2005. They played the "electability" game then, too - and look what happened to them.
