I thought the robocall was good for a laugh. And that’s about it. We played at our house a couple times, but we had to repeat it, because we were laughing so very hard.

I want to know how this person, who allegedly was not associated with a campaign (Cooch and Foster both deny it), got my phone number. I am not in the phone book. I am unlisted. I am unpublished.

So is this what the Republican party does with its delegate lists in Virginia? Posts them over the urinal at the corner bar in Richmond or something, so that everyone can get them? That’s the part I find despicable and outrageous.

The rest of this, to me, is just a funny joke. It’s not like anyone can take this call seriously. It was way too kooky. Way… too… kooky.

Fortunately, I no longer donate to RPV. I doubt they have my credit card on file. I stopped writing checks when Jeffy became Chair. So at least, Tom, I haven’t got that concern.

And Brownlee only stated the obvious. The call lists are given to statewide campaigns. He did leave out two other possibilities. The RPV, who maintains the list and theft, by hacker or otherwise.

I really want to know who got my number, how they got it and what other information came with it? Credit card? Social Security? Address?

Should I cancel the credit cards I have used to buy tickets and donate? We really need to know what information was compromised. This goes way beyond a silly prank.

John Brownlee and David Foster are correct. We need an investigation. I will say that Cuccinelli only seemed interested in a denial and I would like to have seen a stronger outrage at personal information falling into the hands of such a despicable person.

And they know where we live!

Brownlee, while the victim here, erred in blaming Cucinelli and/or Foster’s campaigns for the ad. Brownlee’s email, while rightly condemning and asking for a full disclosure and investigation, jumped to the point of absurdity by claiming that since only delegates received the calls, it had to have been a rival campaign move. By attacking the other campaigns outlandishly and foolishly, Brownlee went from a victim to same-old politician, attacking and dividing in a campaign where negative politics simply do not belong and achieve nothing. It was a chance Brownlee had to earn my respect; instead, he’ll likely be earning a trip back to Southwestern Virginia.

No disclaimer and no phone number displayed – illegal on two counts.

For Cuccinelli to send this out DOESN’T make sense. Even if there is a valid point…..somewhere, Cuccinelli has a long track record of vigorously defending the 2nd amendment. If you are a gun rights one issue voter, you have already made up your mind to vote for Cuccinelli. This robo call helps in no way. In fact ,it potentially harms the Cuccinelli effort. Cuccinelli has the lead and most confirmed delegates. It is now all about moving the delegates to show up and vote. If a Cuccinelli fan did this as a rogue supporter, I say they are hurting Cuccinelli by taking attention away from his positives and directing it at this drama.

I don’t see Foster advocating this. It doesn’t seem like something Foster or Cuccinelli would support. How do you hold this against Brownlee anyway? I don’t know anything about this case, but if his job is to prosecute, he should be prosecuting! If laws need changing, that’s on us to elect decent representatives. None of these three fine gentlemen need to subjects of last minute robocall “Gotcha” politics.

I still support Ken Cuccinelli fully, and am confident of a win.

Additionally, I think the debate that’s beginning here is healthy and good.

Finally, I am not saying that I agree with the claim being made by those who are making the call…merely that it is a valid point to bring up in the course of a campaign.

If records of the candidates are going to be challenged, certainly Brownlee is open to discussion regarding his role in this case. That’s all I’m saying.

If “grandpa” was a 40 year old skinhead with no criminal record would anyone come to his defense?

2d: brownlee’s father served 2 tours in vietnam. brownlee himself has worn our nation’s uniform. do you really think he could NOT support the 2d amendment?
