Chris Royse accused of misleading voters

MoonHowler

Frank Principi has accused opponent Chris Royse of misleading Woodbridge Magisterial District voters.  Royse claimed that he would bring in AFRICOM  to the Woodbridge area.  To date, he has not spoken with anyone in that organization.  According to insidenova.com:

Insidenova.com and the News & Messenger received results of a Freedom of Information Act request from Principi’s office which confirms that Royse – a Republican — has never had any official contact with members of the military installation currently located in Stuttgart, Germany.

In at least one speech to potential voters, Royse says that AFRICOM is “real and it’s going to happen.”

In the same speech, posted on www.chrisroyse.com, he states that he had conversations with former U.S. Congressman Tom Davis and current Congressman Rob Wittman about AFRICOM and said it could happen in four years.

Gainesville candidates for supervisor spar over Candland’s attendance record

Things are heating up in the Gainesville Magisterial District over the attendance record of Peter Candland’s main claim to fame which is his service on Supervior John Stirrup’s budget committee.  Candidate Ann Wheeler has called in to question Candland’s attendance record.  Candland’s main  opponent in the Republican primary, Martha Hendley, was first to mention questionable attendance despite the  fact Candland claimed to have served on this committee for three years.  Several county folks have said his   attendance was sketchy as best.

Wheeler admonished  Candland for missing the last Wednesday night’s Haymarket Meet and Greet the Candidates.   Candland told the News and Messenger that he had notified the Haymarket town manager  that he would be unable to attend because of a business commitment.  News and Messenger reported:

 Wheeler sent out a press release after the forum, saying it’s “a disservice to the voters and the community to not show up to forums such as these.”

In the same breadth, Wheeler’s campaign staff released a Freedom of Information Act request of Candland’s three-year attendance record for the budget committee.

 President Obama has managed to end 2 out of the three wars this week. 

Gaddafi has been killed thus ending our involvement with Libya.  Additionally, President Obama has announced that all Iraqi troops will be home by year’s end. 

Many of the hawks like Lindsay Graham and John McCain have criticized the president for pulling out and leaving the country unprotected.  But was this really Obama’s doing?  According to benchmark records, President Bush signed an agreement with the newly formed Iraqi government to leave all Iraqi territory by December 31, 2011.  Hmmmmm….why is this Obama’s fault?  

 Some might say he was a poor negotiator.  Others might say he honors prior commitments of other presidents. 

One of Stewart’s best skits….

This is classic!  Corey’s fundraiser the other night, almost a quarter of a million dollars, says it all.    I well remember when Corey excoriated Sharon Pandak for being ” The Developers Candidate” and how he was the people’s candidate.  Times sure have changed. 

2007 exerp fom the letter Corey Stewart submitted to Advocates for The Rural Crescent regarding his opponent Sharon Pandak:

“I am pleased to see that my opponent in this years election has changed her mind about pledging to protect the Rural Crescent. YOur supporters should be reminded that my opponent refused to sign the rural protection pledge a mere eleven months ago during the last years special election. By contrast, I have always stood as an uncompromised champion of protecting the Rural Areas of our county against development encroachments. Since my opponent was the developers candidate in last years special election, and is quietly so again this year, there are some who might view her decision to sign the pledge this year as politicl posturing intended to confuse the voters.”

Well, since this letter, Corey voted for Avendale which took over 125 acres out to the Rural Crescent and put several hundred homes were only 12 were allowed by the the Comp Plan.   Corey has now taken over the mantle of the  “Developers Candidate” as VPAP clearly demonstrates with the numerous large developer campaign contributions.
