		<description>I did receive one of the robo calls, and found it quite unremarkable. I find it quite humorous when the Tuckers of the world can level essentially criminal charges against Jeff Frederick in full public view and there’s no expectation of a “negative reaction” to that. How’s that for tearing down fellow Republicans again??

Yet as soon as the elected officials themselves are actually held to account it’s “negative” and “low.” It’s all the more odd when criticism of Tucker for his public positions is “low.” Tucker’s entire ten-year record in the Fifth District is one of a lack of satisfaction with mere political defeat of his opponents.

Tucker’s tenure is littered with the carcasses of those whom he has smeared with unsubstantiated personal charges, whether weak “criminal” charges against Jeff, or totally false marital accusations against conservative opposition within his own district.

I’m sorry, but refusal to hold our “leaders” accountable is what’s gotten us the corrupt, earmark-happy, power-crazed “Gross Out Party” that can’t win jack in VIRGINIA, or all places. The crybaby responses from those who expected to do a hatchet job on Jeff with no repercussions just highlights why the term “Republican leaders” is such an oxymoron. It also bodes very ill for our chances against Terry McAuliffe, who is nothing if not tough.

Personally, if our “leaders” can’t take the heat, I recommend getting out of the kitchen and letting us find true conservative leadership. At the very least, I’d recommend not throwing punches if they can’t handle a defensive swing in return.

Frankly, Jeff and his defenders didn’t start this. If McDonnell really wants a civil war just in time for what should have been a farily quiet convention, that&#039;s his call. But in the eternal struggle against the top-down power that our Republican leaders seem determined to represent, I say, “Go, Jeff.” And to the whiners, how about stepping aside and letting some MEN step up to leadership?

I only ask readers not to be too blindly accepting of the self-promotional rhetoric from our politicians.</description>

		<description>I am a pro-life, pro-gun, low-tax Republican, and I want him gone.

&quot;I wonder why people are saying stupid stuff like, “this robo call violates the Federal TCPA regulations.” Jeff has come out and said that he had nothing to do with it.&quot;

Because they listed the regulations for you to see how it violates the law.
And if it wasn&#039;t Frederick...then &quot;someone&quot; still violated the law. They&#039;re still guilty....no matter who it was.</description>

		<description>The larger issue is how was this list obtained by the robo callers?  My wife and I both received these calls this afternoon.  Are they calling the 2008 delegate list or the 2009 delegate list?

Jason &amp; Jim, Thanks for covering this issue.</description>

I also hear other garbage such as &quot;The things we&#039;ve gone through since Frederick has been chairman.&quot;

Are we now back in high school?  Are politics really this petty?  Are the voters really this ignorant?  Please...  I ask here, like I ask elsewhere, what EXACTLY has Frederick done?  Is it a crime as a republican to call for limited government?  This is all I&#039;ve heard him do.</description>

		<description>One word about believing Frederick at this point:  Riiiiggghhhttt...

What a complete horse&#039;s ass.

Anybody who falls for his transparent and manufactured set of &quot;wedge&quot; issues (elected State Central Committee folks are now &quot;elite&quot;?) deserves to have him continue to run a party further into the ground.</description>

		<description>We need to support Jeff Frederick and help him anyway we can. 

And we need to stop this ridiculous internecine bickering. If do not the only people that will benefit from it are the Democrats. Do we really want that?</description>
