Back Cuccinelli for governor
You can tell a lot about a person — or a politician — by the company he keeps.
Whom do Democrats hang out with? Hollywood celebrities, union bosses and Planned Parenthood. Environmental groups that want to kill jobs, and groups that want to divide Virginians by race instead of unite us with common goals.
But when I look at the governor’s race, I see sheriffs, doctors, home-schoolers, hard-working families and people concerned with jobs and the economy all supporting Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for governor.
There is no question who I will be supporting in November — Cuccinelli. I hope others will take a hard look, and come to the same conclusion.

Neither party is good for small business
Last month, a young man showed up in my store. He asked if my shop was a union shop, and I replied, “Why are you asking me that?”
He said he was the campaign manager for a candidate whose campaign is being paid for by the unions, and he was not allowed to buy anything unless it comes from a union shop.
I was amazed and had to asked him, “Are the Republicans’ campaigns paid for by the corporations?”
He said yes.
Neither Democrats nor Republicans support the small business entrepreneur? Because we don’t have money to fill their pockets to buy their support?
If you have a job in the future, it won’t be with a small business. You will work for a corporation that has a union, or you will be unemployed.
Both parties are pretty much one and the same.
If the American people don’t do something, there isn’t going to be anything good for the middle-class American trying to own her own business.
