Virginia Election Debate
June 13, 2005(broadcast stream) (.wma download Right-click,”Save Target as”,”Save”)
Tomorrow is the Virginia State Primary. Barring a surprise victory in the Republican Primary, it is expected to be a race in November between the current Lieutenant Governor Democrat Tim Kaine and the current Attorney General Republican Jerry Kilgore. But the race for Lieutenant Governor, the No. 2 position, is wide open. This important position — a stepping stone to the Governorship — is contested by 4 Democrats and 2 Republicans. The 4 Democrats will debate tonight on THE INSIDE SCOOP in a show televised in Northern Virginia on Channel 10 (Cox Cable).
The candidates (listed in order of their appearance in the debate) are all in the State House of Delegates or State Senate:
Senator Leslie L. Byrne of Fairfax County
Delegate Viola Baskerville of Richmond
Senator Phillip P. Puckett of Lebanon
Delegate J. Chapman Petersen of Fairfax City
I will moderate the debate and ask questions along with Delegate Mark Sickles and Senator Mary Margaret Whipple.
For Virginians, this is a tremendous opportunity to help make an important decision in tomorrow’s election.
For non-Virginians, it gives insight into the status of the Democratic Party in Northern Virginia, a blue pocket of a red State. Virginia, although Red, is increasingly heading toward the Blue. The local issues in Virginia are not that different from the local issues nationwide: taxes, education, environment. Although THE INSIDE SCOOP usually focuses on national issues and politics, sometimes it is important to see the local trees in the national forest.
Sunday Weekly Review – Which Family Values? Payoff to Drug Pushers; Destroying PBS

— The Government Pay-Off to The Deadliest Drug Pushers in the USA
This week, Bush gave Big Tobacco $120 Billion that would otherwise have gone to saving the lives of the 400,000 American tobacco smokers killed every year by the Largest Death Industry in the USA, peddling The Most Addictive Drug Known to Man (nicotine). Every month, the tobacco companies kill more than 10 times the number of Americans murdered on September 11, 2001. Aren’t you glad that the Administration gives Drug Pushers your taxpayer money to help addict kids to their filthy product? Big Tobacco certainly likes the arrangement. That’s why they finance the Republican Party. How many more Americans do you suppose are dead today because the Republican Party is financed by this dirty drug money?
— The Government Attack on the Neutrality of PBS and NPR
The Republican National Committee, having acquired the Fox Propaganda Channel, is set now to control National Public Radio and PBS. Remember when we still had a media willing to openly criticize the Government? Back when We the People could still elect our leaders? In “The Rise and Fall of the American Empire,” will the 20th Century be remembered as the last days of the free American Republic?
