LETTER: Lingamfelter’s picks for delegate
Published: October 24, 2009
I’d like to offer my recommendations on the House of Delegates races.
13th District: I’m supporting Del. Bob Marshall, a man of faith, family and freedom who puts the interests of our community first. His opponent, John Bell, is an Obama liberal. Bell supports overturning
the marriage amendment and will impose higher taxes. He’s completely out of step with our community.
50th District: I’m also supporting Del. Jackson Miller, a solid conservative who works hard for his district and small businesses. His opponent, Jeanette Rishell, is very liberal and so wildly out of step with
the people of Manassas and Prince William that it defies elaboration
51st District: I’m supporting my fellow veteran Rich Anderson, a retired USAF Colonel and a decorated veteran. Rich is running against first-term Del. Paul Nichols, a big supporter of Obama’s national
agenda and a person who I’ve recently learned — at the Prince William Bar Association debate — has quite an emotional side; one that landed him an arrest in North Carolina for assaulting a police
officer in 2006. While he wasn’t convicted, he wouldn’t have been arrested at all if he had simply elected to be polite, cooperate and not make a scene. By his own admission he made a huge error in
judgment by getting out of the car and challenging the police. Now he says he’s the victim. In contrast, Rich is calm, people-focused, and sober-minded, possessing the conservative values voters expect.
Rich opposes the Democrat’s plans for higher taxes, and unlike Nichols, won’t support laws that permit felons re-entry to school campuses.
52nd District: I’m supporting a very bright and common-sense conservative, Rafael Lopez, over his liberal opponent, Luke Torian. Rafael is the only person in this race who has actually served his
community as an elected leader. Unlike Mr. Torian, who wants more government and supports civil unions, Rafael will stand by small businesses, control spending and support families.
If you want responsible government that focuses on core areas of responsibility without raiding your pocketbooks and exploding government, vote Republican on Nov. 3.

Reader Reactions
Some of the time the system works, sometimes the cure is even worse than the problem.
“Is it everybody’s fault that Democrats are failing the people at the National level. Republicans only being slightly better now.“
Actually, it is the way the pendulum swings when the country is not “centered” and is trying to find the political balance.
Bush was not the answer, so it swung to Obama. The economy has not recovered so we swing back towards Republicans.
This is why it is funny to me to listen to those squealing about Obama and all the “socialist ills” they fear he will impose.
We The People - voters - will re-center the nation politically and status quo will once again reign.
Trust the system. It works.
Potomac News was and has been in decline and i am sure their prior endorsement of Democrats in the past had no real bearing as does the endorsement of WAPO have no bearing. People usually vote for the better candidates in Va. Is it everybody’s fault that Democrats are failing the people at the National level. Republicans only being slightly better now.
“PHDEE that contest has already taken place by the WashPO folks. The WashPost hasn’t figure it out by their declining subscriptions that their readers are ignoring their endorsements.“
GP, unlike the Potomac News and Manassas Journal Messenger, now combined as the News & Messenger, that has endorsed mainly a slew of Republicans?
Are you saying we will see a rebirth of the News & Messenger with their endorsements?
Can we hold their further decline to the fact they endorsed a majority of Republicans?

We should have a contest:
Have all the Republicans write up their election choices.

Mr. Lingamfelter is supporting Mr Lopez because he is “the only person in this race who has actually served his community as an elected leader”
Really? Than why support Mr. Anderson? Oh, because he is a fellow veteran and retired USAF Colonel. That does not automatically make him qualified for service.
Obama has even lost the Anarchist vote now. Not much else to lose now.

Once more we have the 2-bit lawyer, James Young, making allegations about an elected official - Ebert - that he can’t support. But this is the trademark of die-hard Republicans—always in a savage attack mode.
I wonder if he gave his legal advice in the smear job by Anderson on Nichols?
The smear tactic had to be thought up by a group of stupid Republican Party locals, Anderson as a military kook just went along. So they all made a tragic mistake it appears. Show how dumb they are.
If you climb up on the washing machine to the wringer, you can get the genitals hung in the wringer, and it is just a matter of time before someone wriings them off.
I agree with you folks:
1. Who cares about Lingamfelter’s choices.
2. As a military toad and syciohabt, why wouldn’t he endorese all Repubs/
3, He has an unimpressive record.
4. He gets taxpayer subsidised groceries and booze (socialism);
He is naked of qualifications.
A waste ofnewspaper space. And a free Republican campaign letter.
