Republicans claim the poster "TheRepublican" isn't a Republican because he talks about and…Read More throws out opinions the Republicans would just as soon keep hush-hush.
I don't know who they think they're fooling. All one needs to do is listen to Sarah Palin (now back on Fox), Michelle Bachmann, Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, or pretty much anything that's on Fox and you can see where this guy gets his opinions. They're hardly secret. This is what the Republican party has become.

Your comments are so typical of a liberal mind who thinks he is smart and right and there is only…Read More one answer to our problems. Ergo: everyone else is wrong, or stupid. And when you cannot use GOOD arguments, then you start insulting, right? So who is your voice of common sense: Chris Matthews? Andrea Mitchel? That ugly-bleached-blond named like a mineral (you see how I am using leftists tactics?). It is your standthat brings the discourse down, because you decided to put eveyr single Repub that stand fro something different at the bottom of your self-righteous world.
You totally forget the center, the independents, the ones that are not associated to an ideology but to their open thinking and common sense. At least T.Ailshire (above) said something reasonable in much fewer words than you or your propaganda predecessor (Stallings).
And at least Fox shows TWO sides of many, many stories, your friends at NBC invite solely those who gree twith them and preach to the choir (Check it out before you opine). N
In summary: THAT is the typical fascim of mind that comes for the elitist liberals, as years of exposure have shown. If you dont agree with me, fine, but please: don't pretend common sense comes from you beause your pseudonym is 'The ANALyst'.

Whoa....In what world did Analyst insult you? The Sarah Palin rush Limbaugh on Fox part? I didn't…Read More read anything about what they said, only that they are the face of Fox (and I guess you take that to be the face of the Republican Party too so that is insulting?) Talk about long winded and insulting - pot calling the kettle black maybe?

The police are great. I do not ridicule them nor do I wish to do so. This was a waste. The county…Read More officials need to have a more reasonable policy on use of expensive resources. For example, use a helicopter to look for the brutal muggers attacking humans on the pathways of Reston.

All pit bull owners should be forced, by law, to have insurance for this animal. This breed is know…Read More to be a ticking time bomb but it's not their fault, it's the owner that must be held accountable.

All pits are "ticking time bombs"? Really? In the 3+ years I've had sight hounds and…Read More been in and out of dog parks in Alexandria, I've never seen a pit or pit-mix "go off"; nor have I seen any while walking in the neighborhoods get violent and attack.. I have however experienced first hand a black lab come into the enclosed dog park and as soon as it was off leash, try to chase down my greyhound completely unprovoked. I know it meant to do serious harm based on the teeth marks left in my hounds coat was wearing at the time (as it was late fall/early winter). It's not the breed that is the problem, it's the people that USE the breed for sport and train/force them to be aggressive. Here's an excerpt from the AKC.ORG website for the Bull Terrier "breed standard"... "Playful and clownish, the Bull Terrier is best described as a three year-old child in a dog suit. Given his muscular build, the Bull Terrier can appear unapproachable, but he is an exceedingly friendly dog, with a sweet and fun-loving disposition and popular in the obedience, agility and show rings"

I saw the scene of the accident on Route 1. I am sure the officer didn't mean to strike the…Read More pedestrian. Anytime you cross anywhere without using the pedestrian crosswalk you are risking your own life. Why anyone would not use one on Route 1 is beyond me. This particular area beyond the hill of SSC is dangerous. There is nothing on that side of road of interest for someone to be crossing the road. Another lawsuit for pedestrian stupidity.
T Ailshire June 12, 2013 at 06:31 pm
Well, yes, it is his fault if there's a crosswalk nearby that he failed to use.
I'm consistently…Read More amazed at those people for whom a few steps' convenience outweighs their personal safety.

There are couple of areas that come to mind as “bad areas” when it comes to pedestrians,…Read More after driving the same route for 20 years North of Frye rd, North of Mount Vernon Memorial Highway and South of Lockheed, where I notice these areas the pedestrians come out of nowhere with only one thing in mind the bus across the road that may leave, it is a shame when anyone is hit by a car but, to say that police are a threat to the community, and that the pedestrian has no fault is crazy we learn at an early age to use cross walks, and that Police are needed in all communities.

Thanks! Last weekend I was near Charlottesville, and they are crazy loud there also. I was…Read More beginning to wonder how to tell if they were nearby. Now I know they just aren't here. Guess I shouldn't complain!

I'm a sound designer, and have made some cicada ringtones available for the iPhone. If you have an…Read More iPhone, in the iTunes store search for CICADA INVASION. The first ringtone is a long one, of a large group of cicadas in a dogwood tree with one individual in the foreground. The 2nd is a shorter ringtone which is perfect for a text alert of a single individual. Hope you enjoy them!
Laura Shonerd Genuario June 12, 2013 at 04:52 pm
Sounds cool! Though it's not a very pleasant sound!

The turnout is expected to be laughably low--thank you corporate media.
Looks like the LaRouche candidates are running well under the radar, as usual.

Wrong! What I'll tell you is that Chuck Stein is a confirmed RINO. People like Chuck Stein are classical old time cut-a-deal with the devil tax and spend make believe Republicans. Why do they even call themselves Republicans? Because they're too lazy to work and they want to be politiciians that go to congress and work 3 days a month and get paid a fortune to do it. The Democrat position was filled so they say their Republcans and get a 50/50 shot at winning their dream lazy job.
No more RINOs! No more socialists! No more compromise!

Gaydom is short for gay kingdom, meaning gay realm. The Democrat and RINO Republican government will…Read More eventually pass laws forcing all people to experiment with being gay to be sure they're not gay. Democrats are hoping that this will convince some confused people into thinking they're gay and then voting Democratic. It would bee a small win but might swing the elections closer to a socialist victory.
