Republicans get lunchtime vote between 2012 and 2013

Republicans looking to mix some politics in with their lunch break have a couple of choices today:

– Mitt Romney’s son Craig will hold a rally at the Victory Office on Ogden Road at 12:30 p.m.

– At the same time, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli will appear at an event with the Roanoke Tea Party out on Plantation Road. Cuccinelli is running for the GOP nomination for governor next year.

Which event will you be attending?

    Have to hold it during lunch because their supporters WORK FOR A LIVING to support our government’s spending.

    A third option is to watch the live stream of the debate between George Allen and Tim Kaine.
    That starts at noon and goes until 1 p.m.
    I think the link to watch is here.

    Kaine dodged the gay marriage question

  6. Kathie | September 20, 2012 at 12:45 pm

    Kaine says, “We don’t have a shortage of ideas or resources in this nation.” Are you kiddin me?????? We are $16T in debt and the interest clock is ticking for our children and grandchildren.

    When Kaine was asked about our preparedness and security levels in Benghazi, he responded “I don’t know the details”.

    #7 And he should know the details because…?

  9. Kristen | September 20, 2012 at 6:03 pm

    No kidding, gdad. Tell me Kathie…exactly how many security briefings do you think a former governor running for Senate gets?

  10. Kathie | September 21, 2012 at 9:27 am

    Hell, the BBC knew more that the whitehouse claims they did why would one expect Kaine to be interested enough to find out the details.

  11. Kathie | September 21, 2012 at 9:29 am

    How about his dodging the gay marriage question and stating that we can continue to spend because there is no shortage of resources – didn’t see you chime in on either of those gdad and Kristen.
