On the air with E.W. Jackson and Tim Donner
By Norman Leahy | Monday, May 30th, 2011 | Politics, VirginiaOn this podcast edition of “The Score” radio show, we’re joined by E.W. Jackson, a candidate for the GOP Senate nomination in Virginia and a long-time favorite of the commonwealth’s tea party supporters. Mr. Jackson is also one of the state’s more well-known social conservative activists. Is he the candidate who can bring the two wings together under one banner?
Also joining Scott Lee on the show is another of the GOP contenders, Tim Donner. He’s never held elected office, but is a familiar face to many in conservative public policy circles. His message is steeped in the tea party, but it’s clear from the interview that Donner’s concerns with the nation’s fiscal course predate the tea parties. To this writer, he remains one of the more intriguing candidates in the race.
And no episode of “The Score” is complete without Bearing Drift’s own Jim Hoeft and “The Two Minute Drill.”
“The Score” radio show can be heard on these broadcast stations and internet talk radio networks.

Since few seem comfortable saying it, Mr. Jacksons primary political opponent George Alien has taken controversial past positions involving issues with brown people. Yes, damn right I said that. Will Mr. Jackson point out George Aliens previouslt held positions with regard to brown/mexican invaders who continue to drive down wages across the board for most Americans?
Brown illegal aliens account for 1/3 of this nation’s prison population. Will former senator Alien have the courage to point out the harm done to this country by the insurgency of illegal brown people streaming across the US-Mexican border? Will he hesitate to mention the growth of violent gangs of brown people inside this country?
Flak jacket donned. Fire at will.
With all due respect, Turbo, this looks like a rant with very little point.
Is there a policy discussion in here somewhere? What positions of Allen’s are you referring to and what, and whose, positions do you support?
It’s kind of hard to have a discussion when someone is just fomenting at the keyboard.
Bishop Jackson is a very likable guy and I think would be a formidable candidate …… for State Senate or the House of Delegates. He doesn’t have the kind of state-wide name recognition he needs to play in a campaign featuring George Allen who, with the arguable exception of Bob McDonell, is Virginia’s best-known Republican. And, Jackson doesn’t seem to be raising the kind of money he’d need to buy that name recognition between known and June, 2012. While there might be a window for a Republican to run to the right of Allen and make a serious bid for the nomination, there are five candidates trying to do that. They just take oxygen away from each other.
Turbo, why the hell can’t you keep skin color out of it? Illegal immigration is a crime that has nothing to do with ethnicity or skin color. Turbo, am I an invader? I’m a legal immigrant and under your definition, a “brown person.”
I stil don’t think Mr. Jackson or Mr. Donner are serious candidates to go against George Allen.
