Fifth District Fridays with Joe Thomas

Every Friday, Joe Thomas does interviews with all the candidates.

This week there were some interesting comments from several of the candidates.

Most outrageous claim Lawrence Verga "I am the candidate that the Virginia TEA party is supporting"  I would love to hear from the TEA party folks about this but I just don't think they have endorsed.  As a matter of fact, I don't think they legally can.

Most out of touch with reality Jim McKelvey "There will be well over 100 new people in the Congress"  What has he been smoking ?

Worst reason to win the nomination- tie- Feda Kidd- I have been around for twenty years.  If that is the reason, you had better find another.  You are telling people you are the establishment person ?  Should we put this on the next line instead as an attack on Verga, McKelvey, Ferrin, McPadden and Schultz ?

Lawrence Verga- I have never been an elected official.

Best Attack on another candidate  Feda Kidd on Jim McKelvey You can't go sit on other people's desks and yell at them.

Best Comment tie Ken Boyd  Pay down the debt.  Robert Hurt- Beat Tom Perriello

  1. if someone wins the TEA party endorsement, does that mean they are not a Republican? and if so, wouldn't that person feel real uncomfortable on a Republican ballot?

  2. I would hope that in the end that the TEA party patriots and the GOP are united to defeat Tom Perriello. Anything else really does not make much sense for turning this country around.

  3. Having the TEA party endorsement,if they can legally give such a thing, would certainly not mean someone was not a Republican. I don't see why any of the candidates now running would feel uncomfortable on a Republican ballot.

  5. real 5th: yep. beating Perriello should be the only thing on our mind.

    but TEA party candidates are not necessarily Republican & vice versa. did McKelvey tear up the Republican creed at a Republican function?

  6. I have never heard that McKelvey tore up a Republican Creed and I just don't think he would. I think he would agree with it.

    He did tear up something at the Fifth District meeting in December but I don't know exactly what it was.

    Joe Thomas does a great job with his show and anyone who can listen should. I do regularly.

  7. Robert Hurt is no conservative and he will never get my vote.

  8. Long before Tommy Boy made a name for himself and won,we had a really good Republican Bench, well, at least in the opinion of some. Now, we just have a bad buffet of undercooked and overpriced candidates. Dry Macaroni and Cheese, soggy fries, burned biscuits, and cold coffee.
