Who is in the tank ?

Just so everyone knows how bad Big Bill Hay and others are in the tank for Lawrence Verga, the man who thinks he can buy a seat in the Congress, you only need to go look at the FEC website for a little clearing up of your mind.

Go to http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/efile_search.shtml

Insert Verga in the partial name of the committee. Hit the first item, view. Go to schedule B and click. Look at all line numbers. See Big Bill- and we mean BIG Bill Hay and his reimbursements and see almost impeached before I could quit Joshua Lambert and then ask yourself about how fair Big Bill and Joshua intended to be fair in anything that might happen in Albemarle. If you trust anything that Hay writes, you need to buy the bridge I own on RT 29 and stand out there and collect tolls.

Maybe Big Big Bill should go read fifth district watchdog, which is clearly a McPadden site. but here is what Mark Lloyd, who is clearly not in the tank for anyone has to say about LaCivita.

A Deeper Look, and a Matter of Fairness

by Mark Lloyd

Chairman Lychburg TEA Party

Today, on the Watch Dog, an LA Times article was linked that quoted Chris LaCivita, Robert Hurt’s campaign strategist. This article appeared Sunday in the LA Times, certainly a left leaning publication if one ever was. The article went on the wire and the AP picked it up, and it appeared this morning in the Lynchburg News and Advance, and probably others as well. The quotes attributed to LaCivita have cause my phone to ring quite often today, and my inbox is getting full. Some TEA Party Patriots in the VA5th are finding offense to the remarks. I understand the reaction, but I must, as a matter of fairness, come forward with some information that should be considered.

Chris LaCivita and I have had our share of disagreements over the last several weeks. I’m quite sure that we will have many more. Stay tuned. But, I have to disclose to everyone interested that he contacted me on Sunday morning as soon as he noticed that the article had been published. He insisted that I understand that he was not making an attack specifically on the other candidates in the VA5th GOP nomination race. He said his comments where taken out of context. I understand that some will not consider that LaCivita could possibly be telling the truth, but I will leave that up to the reader to decide. He told me he had been misquoted and that his remarks were meant in the context of what is going on in congressional districts across the country. The following is what he told me was his exact quote:

“With as many people running (not just in VA 5 but nationally) is an

indication that the “Party” (GOP) is alive and thriving, when just a year

ago it was written off as dead -

That having this many people running was a good thing – not a bad thing -and

everyone who is running believes they can make a difference – but that you

do get some folks who if you can walk and chew gum at same time, think they

can be member of congress.”

Chris LaCivita has been in the business of politics for a long time. His claim to fame is that he was the man behind the media campaign that allowed the Swiftboat Veterans to reveal the truth about John Kerry. Not a bad claim, and he was involved with the election of Ken Cuccinelli. Although, he may not be too popular among the TEA Party crowd since he is working for Robert Hurt, he certainly has some bona fides as a conservative politico. This leads me to my next point of looking deeper.

My personal political experience, including dealing with the media, has come at me like a tsunami over the last few months as I took on the role as the Lynchburg Area TEA Party Chairman, and being the organizer of the VA5th District TEA Party debates. This little bit of national attention has been an education as to what really goes on in our media. I have had a couple of interviews with the Washington Post, and some local papers, as well as some local TV stations, and I can attest to the fact that my comments were not taken in context. My comments were taken and used to fit what they wanted to say. It is quite apparent to me that the media is already working to do several things in our local race, and we should all be aware of them.

First, I believe that the national media is making great efforts to have VA5 turn into the next NY23. Need to sell some papers. Secondly, and much more sinister, I believe that the national media is invested in supporting the leftist socialist agenda, and will twist whatever words they need to twist, or confuse context, to achieve this goal. As I see it, the goal of many in the media is to drive a wedge between the conservative factions. The GOP has grassroots conservatives, many opposed to the RINO’s in leadership positions, some are TEA Party folk, and some are not. However, for the socialist democrats to win in districts like VA5 they must drive the wedges deep into the body of conservative voters. This is basic to winning any political contest. Divide and conquer. For little Tommy-boy Pelosi-ello to have a chance of re-election this year the shattering of conservative unity is a must. We have a long time to go before November, and we need to be aware that this is going to happen. This nomination process is a fight that needs to take place to determine who best represents the conservative values of this district, and then defeat lil’Tommy, the puppet of Pelosi, Obama and Soros.
