Judge them by their Deeds...

...Not Their Words

Newspapers from The Roanoke Times to The Virginian-Pilot to The Richmond Times-Dispatch to the Waynesboro News Virginian have lambasted Deeds for running an “overwhelmingly negative” campaign, airing “deceitful” television spots, promoting an “outright lie”, and for the fact that he has “put forward absolutely no concrete set of proposals on any of the critical issues in this race, not transportation, not education, not economic development ... not a one."

Over and over, the "folksy voice" tells you that "Bob Mcdonnell is going to raise your taxes." But look here: In an op-ed piece for The Washington Post Wednesday, Bob's opponent finally came clean with voters that his first act if elected will be to raise taxes on Virginians. You can't fault a guy for doing what you think is right! The Washington Post editorial page noted, “R. Creigh Deeds, the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, has now unequivocally committed himself to support higher taxes…,” The Washington Post (September 24, 2009).

How about using the "folksy voice" to let us know your vision for the Commonwealth. Here's a novel idea: Let's make this Governor's race about IDEAS. ht/Ed Gillespie

It's hard to endorse a moving target.
