I am also one of the few that republicans have not been warned by other campaign & party hackers not to support or endorse Kenny. It is insulting to to every active duty or retired veteran to see the way an accomplished and honorable man such as the Commodore has been treated. Disgraceful and insulting. @Dona, No I am not on Golden’s payroll but I am proud to be a major donor to his campaign.

I would encourage all three candidates to cooperatively work with the student and professional organizations that have expressed interest in hosting these public events and to welcome live press/blog coverage.

The lawmaking power in this country has become way too centralized and states lawmaking powers have been marginalized. I would much prefer that more of those laws fell into state hands and see more of the drug enforcement dollars managed locally by the municipalities. We will continue to fail at reducing drug use until we legalize, educate better, tax the hell out of narcotics and treat drug dealers that cooperate with drug exporters bringing narcotics into the US as if they were no different than terrorists. The IRS may do a better job of reducing drug abuse than the present agencies involved with interdiction. I formed this opinion over a few bottles of Killians red while discussing the issue with a 25 year coastie with 20 years of drug enforecement work offshore. Present day drug prevention is a dismal failure. Ron, Why is it so tough for the prettiest girl at a dance to be asked out sometimes? Intimidation maybe?

Your record in the military is all well and good but we are not electing an admiral from the Second District. You tried running among the people you claim know you best - the GOP - and you got virtually no suppport, raised no money and if you want to take credit for going 10 for 10 in 2009 why is it that NONE of those candidate's endorsed you? Is it all some big conspiracy? I think not. In fact they are terrified at the thought of you as their congressman. Get out you egomaniac! Kenny – I’m speaking about you as a candidate.

Leave the laws against use to the states and the feds can enforce the laws against trafficking and distribution. It is one thing to regulate what a person can do with their body, it is another to regulate a substance that is sold for profit.

Does that mean Kenny Golden favors ending Federal drug laws? “The Federal Government simply should not have the power to regulate what a person does to their own body.”

Shaun put those words in Kenny's mouth. If you watch the video he said no such thing. Do your own research and don't believe the spin Mr. Kenney has decided to put on Kenny's position. Shaun has yet to respond to my previous point, so I suppose he has no response? Kenny believes that a state can ban abortion all they want, he is simply opposed to a blanket federal ban for the same reasons you yourself oppose blanket federal legislation on a number of things. The Federal Government simply should not have the power to regulate what a person does to their own body. Kenny supports overturning Roe v Wade so that the states, who are closer to the people, can make that decision. Hey Donna,

In fact, if you believe that human life deserves the protection of our laws from womb to tomb, Golden identifies you as one of these “ultra pro-lifers” and claims it’s a religious rather than a reasonable justification to protect human life." WOW, does not "DESERVE" protection? "REASONABLE JUSTIFICATION". you can justify anything if you want, it doesn't make it right. Life begins at conception, Abortion is murder, period. I have meet Mr. Golden 2x, once at the Accomack GOP meeting and once at the 2nd Congressional debate sponsored by the ESVA GOP. I asked questions and kept an open mind, after my own research I ruled Golden out long before he jumped ship. @Linda: you are well aware what my comments mean. If you recall I was against HRTP endorsing ANY canidate and commented several times that it was clear that the leadership (or lack of) was the one with the agenda. I still maintain that position and still call for K. Hurd to step down.

And wow, why would someone bring up HRTP and vaguely charge them with "misinformation," when they are not the subject of this article or string of comments? Also, based on Mr. Golden's June 27, 12:57 comment, he clearly does not have a "pro choice agenda." D. Donziger's comment seems like misinformation from someone with an agenda. Just sayin.

Many TEA Party conservatives in the 2nd District seeking a better Congress that is not the same old business-as usual status quo may not support Mr. Rigell or Congressman Nye. Mr. Rigell's $10,000 donation to the YES Campaign reveals to many thoughtful Conservatives that Scott a person that supported a corrupt and dishonest business lobby agenda - and agenda that was rejected by our region's voters by a 2 to 1 margin. Many thoughtful conservative voters might vote for Kenny Golden as opposed to not voting at all - because the Republican Party and Democratic Party choices on the ballot are not anything to become too happy about. Dona, I disagree.
