Look, on this Kilgore issue. I will stand with the best of them and say that Kilgore is the best example of the over consulted, wish wash candidate. I stand by that statement 101% and I am not the only one at all who has said such. Most of the conservative DC folks I know pretty much say the same thing. We all hope he wins, but we wish he had stood on principle instead of running around avoiding talking about it. I honestl yat this point after seeing the ads, reading the websites, etc have no idea what Kilgore actually believes in. Sorry if this makes me a bad Republican, but I just see no core principles. I hope he wins because I know Kaine is real bad and I want to believe Kilgore has some great principles that his consultants have just burried deep.

So go ahead and trash us for not being party-cheerleaders for Kilgore. I hope he wins and will be rooting and praying as such, but that should not effect my criticism of his campaign. He should have won this race going away but instead he’s going to be a fight to the bitter end. Moreover, our job is really not to do all the job criticising Kaine. There are plenty of good Virginia blogs more qualified to do that us, but our niche, our goal is to really call Republicans out when they do bone headed things. If you don’t like it, ok, but please don’t expect differently.

It is this blogs policy, it will be this blogs policy, and I would leave if it were otherwise, to spend most of our effort trying to clean up our own house. Want to read about how bad Democrats are? Great, check out the billion other blogs dedicated to that, our primary goal is to shine light on the unpleasantries of the GOP, because we want the GOP to be better, stronger, and more than anything pass real legislation to make our country better through conservative principles.

This blog is just part of the network, we serve one purpose of cleaning the house while others serve the purpose of attacking the left, others elucidating good policy, others making fun of the left, etc. All these parts of the body work together to make the centre-right blogosphere work and work well. So if you want to flame me for being critical of Kilgore go ahead…
