Monday, December 13, 2004Leadership for Virginia PAC I'm angry. And not just a little - I'm very angry. One of the things that Republicans agree upon should be the idea of smaller government. Not smaller than the Democrats, but overall an approach to government that reduces its size and influence in our lives. When I read that not only is there a PAC to help support the 17 Republican Delegates that voted for tax hike, but the Leadership for Virginia PAC is also actively helping Democrats, in my mind the gauntlet is thrown down statewide: The first test of the organization could come soon. Del. Thelma B. Drake (R-Norfolk) was elected to Congress on Nov. 2. On Tuesday, Warner called for a special election to be held Dec. 14 to fill her House of Delegates seat.Contribute they have, to the tune of $50,000 for liberal Democrat Paula Miller over Republican Michael Ball. What gets me more upset is that our elected GOP leadership doesn't understand what is at stake. We are literally being redefined from outside the party by Democrats courting moderate Republicans. What is at stake is nothing short of this: Either Republicans are the party committed to reducing government in both its size and potency, or we are Democrat-lite. The battle is on, and those on the side of taxpayers and against the growing influence of government are clearly in the majority. I say fight. Enough talk. The lines are drawn, the Dems know it, and the moderate Republicans are willing and ready to co-operate with the Dems. If that is the case, how long are we as Republicans true to the principles of smaller government going to wait? Virginians can no longer afford to feed both their families and their government. Hannibal is at the gates. It's high time for leaders to step up and carry the banner.
