Wow, things are really getting nasty in the Republican race for RPV chairman, as John Hager goes after Jeff Frederick for "resorting to outright lies."  And you thought the 11th CD Democratic race was rough? :)

Dear Fellow Republican,

           Desperate and losing, Jeff Frederick is resorting to outright lies.

           Jeff Frederick's most recent attack mailing accuses me of being endorsed by Democrat Mark Warner at this year's Shad Planking.  It's not true - and Jeff Frederick knows it is not true because Jeff was there and heard the speech.

           Please read the following very carefully because it demonstrates just how dishonest Jeff Frederick is willing to be.


 
          The Shad Planking is an annual outdoor fish fry in Wakefield.  I was honored to be the Master of Ceremonies for the program.  In that role I introduced Jim Gilmore, Bob Marshall, and Mark Warner to speak.

           In an attempt to be funny, Mark Warner noted that he was surrounded by Republicans and about me he said:

           "I can't think of a single action that would show more commitment and devotion to the Republican Party than allowing his son to marry into the President's family with the President's 28% approval rating."

           It was a bad joke, but clearly not an endorsement.

           In fact, I pointed out to Mark Warner that we Republicans had him outnumbered 2 to 1 and that he might want to reconsider his race for the Senate.

           And this is the central problem with Jeff Frederick's campaign for Chairman.  He will say anything - launch any attack - to satisfy his own ambition.  He has viciously attacked the Republican Speaker of the House, local Republican volunteers, and our volunteer Congressional District Chairmen.  Anyone who doesn't support him is subject to these outrageous attacks.

           If you elect me Chairman I will put the Party and our candidates first.  I will do all I can to unite us and prepare for a united victory this November and next.  And, I will always be honest with you.

Sincerely,

Comments

After all the bloodletting in the Democratic primaries this year, it's a relief to be able to sit back, grab a bag of popcorn and watch the Repubs gouge each other's eyeballs out...


Let's all step up and endorse John Hager... (dsvabeachdems - 5/24/2008 11:50:48 PM)
along with every Republican John and, of course, Jim. They are uniters and not dividers. Not to mention that we can look forward to more of this demonstration of an erudite command of the English language and their mastery of tax math (which doesn't require division; unlike the foreign exchange rate of the dollar).
