]]> Comment on Style Weekly reports Charlie Diradour will run in 2010 by Ben Ragsdale http://countercantor.com/2009/09/style-weekly-reports-charlie-diradour-will-run-in-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-46 Ben Ragsdale Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:14:18 +0000 http://countercantor.com/?p=209#comment-46 The political situation in the Seventh District is this: 1. The Democratic Party is alive and well, and produced robust efforts for Mark Warner and Barack Obama last year. 2. Those dissatisfied with the performance of Eric Cantor extend way beyond the Democratic faithful. He is an ultra-conservative Washington insider who has very little compassion for or connection to the daily concerns (job opportunities, the education our children receive, the cost of health care, fair taxes for the middle class, government that works for average folks) which most citizens in the district have. 3. Eric Cantor has never had big-league competition before. Charlie Diradour offers the potential for a well-run, well-financed, progressive grass roots campaign like the Seventh has never seen before. The Seventh District of Virginia is the historical home of reknown American patriots. Today, we are positioned to surprise the nation by proving once again that concerned citizens can join together in a great cause -- even against challenging forces of money and power -- and make our lives better. Run, Charlie, run. Ben Ragsdale 3821 Custis Road Richmond, VA 23225 330-3959 The political situation in the Seventh District is this:

Cantor said that the GOP would be attentive during the President's address. He didn't look attentive when he was on his blackberry.

Several leading legal authorities have made the case that her recent diplomatic overtures ran afoul of the Logan Act, which makes it a felony for any American "without authority of the United States" to communicate with a foreign government to influence that government's behavior on any disputes with the United States... At such a critical moment in the volatile Middle East, this is no time for the United States to be sending out mixed signals..." What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe Eric should spend some quality time with his mentor, fellow Republican and felon, Jack Abramoff. Eric Can’t(or won’t) assailed Speaker Pelosi in an April 10th 2007 National Review article:
