Jeff Frederick - Virgina Republican; 1st Class Dirtbag

Jeff Frederick, Republican Delegate from Virginia's 52nd District.... which happens to be the district in which I reside, has never been much of a man in my opinon. His shady ties to right-wing organizations, questionable voting record, and lack of commitment to the needs of his constituents make him contemptible.

You see, Mr Frederick is a very visible tool of what I call the political scumbag machine that Republicans have been using for the past 20 years to win elections. Mr Frederick is one of those sleazy Republicans that never met an outrageous claim, distortion, or outright lie that he didn't gleefully repeat, truth be damned.

Well, as some of you may already know, Jeff Frederick is at it again. It was reported recently, in Time magazine, that Mr Frederick, at a meeting of canvassing volunteers, here in Prince William County, suggested that volunteers tie Barack Obama's name to Osama Bin Laden. Frederick, who bears a startling resemblence to Alfred E. Newman, of Mad Magazine fame, told the volunteers that they should remind voters that Obama and Bin Laden "both have friends that bombed the Pentagon"

Typical race-bating, fear-mongering Republican tactics. It's even worse than usual this time, especially after last week's McCain campaign antics backfired so spectacularly. Frederick's comments were so bad, that a number of Republicans, including the McCain campaign itself, had to go on record saying that Frederick's remarks were beyond the pale.

Well, now Jeff Frederick has exactly what he wants. A moment of national fame.

Have a look.

Jeff Frederick, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, you are a dirtbag. You are beneath contempt. Your party is about to take a stunning electoral beating and you, because of this kind of behavior, will be part of the reason that you lose. I suppose we should thank you.

I guess I've been right all along in this campaign: Your party is bereft of ideas, and has no idea how to lead this nation.

See you at the polls, Jeff.
